A look at SMAP dramas throughout the Years 10 years ago, Takuma Yoshito (Kusanagi Tsuyoshi) was arrested and prosecuted for attempted murder. He received a 15-year prison sentence, but it was proven that he was wrongfully convicted and he got out of prison with his name cleared. Takuma was reinstated to the Kyoto Prefectural Police. A specialist who understands criminal psychology, all information regarding criminals are imprinted in his memory. This time, he leaves Kyoto and goes to Tokyo where he is assigned to a newly established unit that doesn't even have a name. The devastating death of an important person is the greatest catalyst for his decision to get into the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department in order to expose a big conspiracy surrounding him. A young female detective, Maria, begins to work with Yoshito. Her uncle is the Commissioner General of the National Police Agency and she seems to have another secret. Edit Translation

Episodic with twists in each investigation
This drama serial is "bite-size" episodic with most cases lasting one or sometimes, two episodes. As a result, there is no "filler" (to take up screen time/stretch a series) and the investigation moves along quickly in each episode. The cases are easy to follow and there's at least one or two twists towards the end of each investigation. In retrospect and on further thinking after each episode, there are loopholes in each case but overall, the script-writing is good.Japanese emphasises team-work and this shows up in most of the J-dramas involving police investigations. The Specialist is no exception. The coordination and cooperation between the team members are seamless and sufficient screen-time is given to supporting cast so that the audience does not feel that they are there just to make up the numbers.
Overall, I enjoy watching this serial.
