Oddly satisfying and fun drama

It's an okay show, a light-hearted mystery drama with a positive theme about dealing with trauma, unique disabilities, or both while trying to look at things be it life or mysteries from a different perspective like the Main Hero for example. I thought one episode about a guy being allergic to electricity was ridiculous until I saw it in better call saul which I since then Owed this show an apology. This show takes place in the same universe as the keizoku/spec because by the multiple cameos and references from that series, and the fact that they both share the same producer too but this is a standalone series and not a spinoff so I guess the relations with each other is just mere fanservice but go see Spec regardless cause it's better. While the mysteries are not as big nor epic as spec , but it is more realistic and grounded just not as dark and gritty, but if there's one thing better about ataru is their comedy that's more natural than shoehorned in to lighten the mood all the time-hell even the recurring gags has an arc of their own. Even though I always have issues with j-drama especially mystery themed j-dramas never being long enough this drama surprisingly satisfied me when it comes to its story and characters because the story was so simple and complete that it never overstayed it's welcome but ironically you do wanna see what happens to them after the show which explains the specials and movie I guess.
