Ataru (2012)

The humor is similar and they are both concerning detectives solving strange mysteries in sometimes strange ways. Also, there are random references to Keizoku SPEC all throughout the Ataru drama (in the background).

its kind of the same storyline about weird people resolving crimes plus both have comedy involve! Both are really entertainment.

Similarities: The main actress, the lame jokes, the nudity and of the comedy police-investigation genre.
Differences: Ataru is one-case one-episode drama while Atami no Sousakan is one case throughout the whole drama.

In both "Ataru" and "Algernon Ni Hanataba O" there is a 'disability' similarity that I think other viewers may find interesting. Also, the main actors/characters in each drama are not only actors they are also both in the 'idol' industry; singing, dancing, concerts, acting, etc...

Both star eccentric geniues that are no affilated with the detectives professional, but help them solve cases. Ataru centers more general cases instead of cases with weather elements.

Both male characters are a little odd and make strange hand movements to solve cases. They are both followed by females with a pure heart that have a male boss. The relations and dynamics are quite similar. Kagi no Kakatta heya is more episodic then ataru.

Both dramas main protagonist is a man with savant syndrome who uses his photographic memory and intelligence in a certain area to help others. In Ataru the main lead helps police solve cases while in Good Doctor the lead uses his medical skills to help pediatric patients. They are both alike because each show goes into the same subject: Just because someone has a mental disability does not mean that they are incapable of helping society in there own way.

The detective is incapable of solving cases himself/herself and needs help from external sources. Also both series have comedic elements.
