A police-themed comedy drama is not easy to make, sometimes they just go full blown comedy while sacrificing the depth of the story/characters. Dorokei is not that type of drama, because it managed to find the balance between the comedic part and the serious part. The character growth is good, you can watch how Madarame mostly goofing around here and there before growing to be more mature as he and his peers in Section 13 started to appreciate the work. However, the storyline is slightly inconsistent - it jumps back and forth from being predictable or not (but thankfully there are more 'unpredictable' ones).

Kenty as Madarame did very well, I felt that his acting was very natural and when he is doing the comedic parts it was just like watching him during variety shows. Kenichi Endo is brilliant as usual, when Kemurigarasu is in 'ruthless mode' I think it was very cool. I can't help thinking about Bisho Tantei Goro Akechi when seeing Tomoya Nakamura in this drama, basically it it just Goro with some changes to create Ojiyama (yeah, I watched that drama first - please understand that).

I loved the OST, it really suits the theme of the drama for me. The sound effects were good as well, but at times they spoiled the story and make parts of the story became less surprising.

So despite the minor flaws, I overall enjoyed this drama. It is a good choice to give you some entertainment.
