Synopsis
Giri/Haji (2019) is a British-Japanese crime series you can watch online on iFILM. Tokyo detective Kenzo travels to London out of family duty, hunting the brother everyone believed dead — a brother who now seems to be killing for the yakuza.
Back home a gang war is brewing, and a single London murder could set all of Tokyo alight. Kenzo (Takehiro Hira) goes looking for someone he can trust and barely finds a soul. He's pulled into the orbit of London detective Sarah, played by Kelly Macdonald, while a homeless rent boy named Rodney latches onto the case — Will Sharpe plays him so well he walks off with every scene. Eight episodes, two cities, two languages.
Creator Joe Barton blends noir, family drama and sudden swerves — animation, slow motion, a full dance number to close it out — and somehow it all lands. One self-contained BBC season with a real ending, the kind of show that slipped past far too many viewers. Watch every episode of Giri/Haji online on iFILM.
