With little room to grow in the West, the streaming giant is spending big on originals in one of the most coveted regions in Asia: 'We’re looking for stories that haven’t been told.'

, which began airing its second season in late June, exemplifies the strategy. Set in the 1980s during Japan’s bubble economy era, the show is based on the true story of the rise and fall of pioneering Japanese porn director Toru Muranishi.
