VIVANT season 2 draws criticism over depiction of China

Original: vivant 映画

The second season of TBS's Sunday drama VIVANT is dominating discussion in Japan. Commentary in Sankei Shimbun urges NHK to show 'Japanese pride' at the New Year's Eve song contest in response to what it calls unreasonable Chinese criticism of the series. Meanwhile, other outlets criticize the season's roughness, including gun battles and hacking scenes, and its torture scenes seen as stoking hostility toward China. The production also drew attention for its multinational casting and language support.

Why now: The new season is airing now and its China-related plot elements are sparking debate in both Japanese and Chinese media.
