In a series of busting bubbles
Another piece of evidence that shows why KimuTaku is the GOAT of J-dorama. The rest of the cast also did superbly.
Being a school (or an academy) drama imposes certain limitations and patterns on storytelling, still, it was a great watch.
I set the rewatch value low due to some thriller and investigative elements.
What I appreciate the most in this TV special is the production part. The portrayal of a police academy is concise (possibly as a good PR project from Kanagawa police).
Music/OST is not that standout (typical of one-off TV specials). Ending theme is a good piece though.
Summing up, being 2 parts TV special will take more time to complete, but you will enjoy a different kind of police-theme dorama with a decent cast.
