About this listen

 In a near-future Tokyo, a Japanese investigator and US peacekeeper reluctantly join forces to solve a series of bizarre murders.  Season 2 out now! It's 2033 and Tokyo, partially occupied by China, is in a state of fear, distrust, and drone-enforced surveillance. When Detective Miyako Koreda is paired with Lieutenant Emma Higashi of the US Peacekeeping force, Miyako is annoyed by the obviously American-backed PR stunt. But as the city is ailed by a rise in gruesome crimes, Miyako and her new partner must quickly learn to trust each other as they race against the clock to investigate each case —which range from a missing shipment of dangerous weapons to a faceless body on the subway platform — all while dealing with frequent blackouts, local gangs, and underground resistance forces. Ninth Step Murders is a Realm production, written by Malka Older, Curtis C. Chen, Jacqueline Koyanagi, and Fran Wilde.

I loved it so much. It's a nice slow burn cyberpunk series. And I loved all of the Japanese cultural information you glean from the story. It is a very interesting experience.
^-^

Truly Cyberpunk

I couldn't get past episode 1. The whole story is narrated with some background sound effects to hint at it being immersive. The narrators voice was so monotone she had me nodding off. Realm have some decent immersive audio plays, not this one.

Disappointing for a Realm production
