Japanese television has a knack for doing more with less, and The Fable is a prime example. It's currently available in Australia on Disney Plus, and in the US on Hulu, so there's no reason to keep putting it off. An 8/10 rating means the audience agrees.
The procedural format gives The Fable its backbone, but it's the characters you come back for. A legendary hitman trained to become the world's best assassin is asked to lay low for a year by the head of his crime family. Kazuyuki Okitsu and Miyuki Sawashiro lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. The series ran for 2 seasons from 2024, building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly.
Perfect for viewers who think they've already seen all the great crime dramas. The Fable is the one that tends to prove them wrong.
