This is 'so bad it's good' detective drama with unbelievably fun characters, all the buddy cop shenanigans one could want, and the cases puzzling in its incongruity.


This is not a drama to watch for the realistic portrayal of neurodiversity. But mental conditions are just a top of the iceberg of things this drama treats with unbelievable levity. Law of physics, common sense, realistic human motivations - everything goes out of the window in this brash drama.

What's amazing, though, is that the cases remain elaborate and complicated throughout the whole show. They may be solved with the fakest of fake science or based on the most bizarre reasons for murder, but the writers' determination is admirable.

Kubota Masataka and Hayashi Kento are also there making one wishful for a movie where this kind of cast could really shine.

The ending deserves a special mention as the solution of the main conflict was hilarious from the genre view point. Just imagine Sherlock delivering Akagi's lines to feel the full force of it.
