Preview

A police solving mystery drama, kind of like a mash up between Galileo and Hataraki Man with Kanno Miho leading and shouldering the drama with very complex real life police cases. This should be a pretty entertaining ride bringing back the writer from Hataraki Man and Loss Time Life. Not an easy script to write but nonetheless I like the premise and will likely be in the range of 14-15 in terms of ratings. I look forward to it.

After 1 Episode

Again, an episodic mystery police drama where Kanno Miho tackles complicated or “off the path” cases. No doubt, it is a little different from past detective series with strong research and realistic facts and applied science. However, the writing is a little corny at times with the direction and flow between scenes a little dry. Hope to see how this series develop, so far I think VOICE is much stronger in terms of writing. Ganbate ne. My revised guess for the avg rating is about 11-12.
