Breathtaking Underrated Gem!

This show really took me by surprise! I can honestly say I think this is one of the best crime/detective/police shows I have seen in a long time. I don't think many people give this story a chance or compare it to the Korean parent movie/story too much.


The story is pretty original, but there are some predictable or typical stories that I've seen within other Japanese crime/detective dramas or movies. This story moves pretty quickly but nothing is too confusing or hard to understand; it sort of feels like it could have been a movie, however the 10 episodes were absolutely perfect, and I binge watched them all within one day. The show was so exciting it all went by quick as lightning!


The episodes completely blended together, so the story really didn't waver much or drag because of side stories, and it wasn't too complicated by past stories that were unnecessary. The main cast really held together quite well, it was hilarious and was really wonderful to watch them all grow as police officers and as humans.


The music was really energetic, which led to getting excited and expecting a lot from each episode. I have to say that I did NOT see the ending coming at all! This show has one large mystery that sort of sets the base for the entire show but it doesn't repeat it within every episode, which is nice; though the lead up to the finale is strong and the ending was amazing! I am absolutely positive that this is one fantastic story!
