Unexpected Yet Exciting
I began watching this show for two reasons: the synopsis and for Sakaguchi Kentaro. The story/script was one that I've heard of before, and in fact felt similar to a few different shows I've seen before (though mostly by their atmosphere or the story in the episode more so than the show as a whole). Watching this show was like re-watching a comfort show, an old familiar favorite... And it was much more thrilling than I expected!While there are a few terms that I don't understand, the story does explain them all with a purpose so it isn't like there's no reason or the only purpose for the terms is to be confusing. Each episode is certainly one of a kind, a very original story, and even in some episodes, it seems like the story as whole is abandoned and they're only focusing on the main issue for each episode... Though that turned out not to be the case!
Watching as the team built each case along with their trust amongst each other, while seeing different sights of Japan and the behind the scenes workings of not only the government but many different kinds of politics, stores, traditions, cultures, and lifestyles was truly the reason I continued watching this mesmerizing story!
