Ok so I'm not a major fan of this genre because tbh once you've seen too many of them it can become repetitive and predictable but this drama is completely different... the mystery is held in the way Ataru gives only tidbits of the case,it keeps you intrigued and you find yourself with the two detectives asking the same thing,what does he mean by that?alongside that there is the mystery of the main characters,we have Ataru who is a savant with an almost superhuman ability to connect things where the normal person wouldnt, the female lead who is haunted and has one case where it may be unsolvable. we get a sense of their vulnerability and hardships but its unbearable,its acute while the humour element is slapstick...I cant remember how many times I laughed at their silliness. The miscommunication between the three lends itself to very funny scenes especially Ataru's use of English at the heart of it the core point of the show is to show how everyone has their own special ability,tic or nuance whereby it can be seen as a nuisance or useful
