Jean Aug 25 2020 7:51 am Narimiya Hiroki as cameo. Immediately I remember him on his 2016 drama Kaito Tantei Yamaneko ?

SakaiShirokuma Sep 17 2017 1:09 pm Takeuchi Ryoma acted as Onizuka in this drama

sky Aug 29 2017 7:31 am sherlcok wannabe (again)

udonkuma Jun 27 2017 12:09 pm the interesting part is, when Narimiya Hiroki appeared as a cameo with a big fluffy cat key chain.

nana Jan 08 2017 1:51 am can someone please suggest me dramas like this one?

dona holmes Dec 04 2016 7:07 am i am so excited for the second season :( where the second season (><)

Reya Sep 19 2016 10:44 pm I was originally uninterested in this drama (I know, silly me!) but decided to give it a shot because I was on a detective drama binge watching streak at the time. So glad I did because it was an engaging, slightly dark show with the right amount of humor to balance out the tension. Takumi and Masa make a very likable duo. I think this deserves a second season (unlike other shows that don't need one...) I mean, this was popular enough, right? We need more second seasons of shows that are actually compelling *cough cough* Please and thank you.

A Jul 30 2016 11:22 am It's really like Holmes and Moriarty. Moriarty and Holmes fell down the cliff water fall. He wrote a letter to Watson as if he would die. But, Holmes is the only one survive from the cliff. Moriarty was dead. Other thing that makes me interested in this drama is that Appolo boy. He is very handsome. hahahha - A -

mei Jun 02 2016 10:38 pm well, the criminal story is not bad but not really that good either, i mean, there are some holes in the story. i cant even compare doctor morierty and moroboshi (they are totally in different level villain). the good thing (the most reason why i finish watching all the story and the specials) is the bromance between Himura and Arigusa hehe....they are so cute!!! masataka san really suitable as a cute neko XD

veraB Mar 28 2016 4:35 am i need second season ASAP!! this left me hanging for godsake

Commentator Feb 28 2016 4:33 pm Uh, who is the man that the female witness says was pouring kerosene in her nightmare over her "CAUGHT-ON-FIRE" uncle she reveals to criminologist Himura and writer Arisugawa that she keeps recalling?

e15 Feb 10 2016 12:02 pm Loving this series. So refreshing. Just wishing it will be a long series instead of the typical 5 mini series or just random 12 episode.
