I almost jizzed myself when I found it existed because Like a Dragon is based on the 2005 PlayStation 2 game Ryū ga Gotoku (Yakuza). I love the series. Sadly, it lacks the game's pathos and energy and offers almost nothing to viewers who haven’t revelled in its intricacies. The characters receive no back-story, their motivations are vague and their relationships are empty.
For game fans, you’ll see all your favourites, Kazuma, Majima, Haruka and, of course, the real life Kamurocho, but everyone else might want to stay clear unless you're a real Miike fan.
