Midnight Diner: Tokyo Stories

You must watch the Netflix series “Midnight Diner: Tokyo Stories,” which now includes three seasons of ten episodes each. The shows, 20-25 minutes long, are snapshots of the odd and endearing people who come into an all-night diner, bringing their joys and troubles with them.
