Thank you Brian, I agree it's a little bloated and maybe needs a series main antagonist as well, I'll get on to it!

Intriguing story! I’d watch’s series about organized crime in Japan.

For a logline, see if you can capture the key ingredients (main character, catalyst, their challenge) in fewer words. Hit me with just the essence of your story - and quickly - and leave out the rest, to make me want to watch it to find out what happens.
