Alfred Mar 08 2023 2:50 am Please make a season 2 for this. I'm a big fan.

Kgr Jul 15 2022 1:46 am Mad that this one still havent got a 2nd season

Lea Jan 30 2022 10:50 am I think i already watched this one some years ago, i hope like this writer other work,SP and Border, we'll get some additional movie.

CONEY TESTON Jun 08 2021 12:27 am I just finished watching it and my reaction is When Will The Second Season Be Released????????

Love It! A Must See!!

OguriFan Feb 19 2021 2:56 am Finally finished watching it. I'll be honest, this is not the kind of series you'll like immediately. But as time goes by and you gradually get into the heart of it and its characters, it will slowly grow inside you. By the end, you won't be able to forget it.

The first few episodes were kinda boring for me, but the story picked up pace from episode 5 and didn't look back. All the characters played their parts well. This is probably the first series where Shun Oguri's performance was my 2nd favourite because Hidetoshi Nishijima really defeated him, haha!

The backstories of Inami, Tamaru and Oyama were shown during the last few episodes nicely, but the same wasn't the case for Kashii and Yoshinaga. I really would have loved to know more about them too. Besides, a bit more details about the other three and their histories would have been better too.

Personally, I wouldn't want a Season 2 of this series because then it would seem unnecessarily streched since most of the things have been already shown. BUT, the series has a lot of potential to have a final movie to bring closure to the characters (though they won't really have the closure they want, given the situation they are in, but still).

Plus I read somewhere that the writer of CRISIS and BORDER (another brilliant drama starring Shun Oguri in one of his memorable roles) is the same. Since BORDER had a final movie that brought a beautiful closure to the main character, the writer can try the same for CRISIS as well. I would like to see the backstory of Kashii and Yoshinaga here if this happens, with the Special Security Squad coming together, but this time, being on the 'other side'.

Sanzo Dec 12 2020 11:30 am Finished the series at last. The first few episodes were standard police/secret agent stuff. Mid-day got interesting as it got darker. Wished it was a 12 episode series so they could've fleshed out the supporting characters better and have given better conclusions to both the Inami and Tamaru's story arcs.

[SPOILER] I don't think there needs to be a follow up or sequel as the ending should've been clear to anyone really paying attention. Everyone, except Yoshinaga (the squad leader), is implied to have gone rogue just like the various former agents they've encountered during the series.

Kashii is building a bomb targeting the Metropolitan Police. Oyama is back in touch with her old hacker buddies and would have LOTS of secrets to leak online. Yoshinaga is getting a promotion but isn't happy about it. Tamaru is implied to have sold out to the Chinese. Inami has lost interest in his budding relationship with Kaoru, the lady at the bar. Remembering what Tamaru said about having a "light" to guide you back to the real world, Inami just lost his.

Finally, a sudden news flash implies two things: Kaji has lost a valuable asset to respond to sensitive threats against the government and whatever it was, it's implied that the old Special Security Squad might be involved. It's a dark ending, but it's fitting to the tone and theme of the series.

richard winegard Dec 06 2020 8:26 pm I thought this program was one of the best on the net. The acting was sufficient that the subtitles were almost innecessary. I regret great that there will be no season 2.

Erisu Nov 20 2020 9:34 am This drama series is so cool. The plot, storyline, the actions choreography and actors are all so professionally done. It reminds me of Mission Impossible albeit in a Japanese setting & tv drama.I really hope there’s a season 2,3,4,5.....!!!

Jean Sep 05 2020 5:54 am This dorama needs season 2 :")

Karin Jul 19 2020 7:24 am There is something missing in this drama. Not the acting skill of the actor and actresses. Plot? Standart. Not bad. Editing? Tnis is good enough for me. But i really dont know what is missing in tjis drama

Maria Jun 28 2020 1:20 am A big fan of Shun Oguri since from the Borders and thorough enjoyed his Crisis series. Hoping there will be more of Borders and Crisis. Pls consider having more season. The casts played well and very professional!!!

Matt May 31 2020 3:36 pm Amazing series, please make season 2... I want to see them destroy that dirty nasty and full of liars government!

Gregorie May 05 2020 9:02 pm I love this new TV series and the plot of the story.. Thrilling.. Action. Hope there's a season 2 for this

DN Dec 04 2019 11:35 am Filipina.. This is so cool, I'm happy. She is an amazing singer (I'm brazilian)

Gimena Sep 03 2019 9:46 am Amazing drama, he was the perfect cast, Ouguri Shun did an excellent job. I hope they do a season 2, there is still time, but it deserves to continue.

msUni Nov 11 2018 1:06 am Who's the guy in episode 7 ? The Sakamoto one

R Jul 08 2018 10:32 am Such a spectacular drama , amazing cast love the ending

Peter May 19 2018 1:59 am Really enjoying this series. Please have season 2. The cast is really suited to their roles.

Cherrie Apr 27 2018 3:14 am Excellent series, will definitely re-watch! Season 2 with the same actors will certainly be a treat. Stumbled on it because of Shun Oguri (from “Ouroboros”)

vebian02 Apr 02 2018 4:10 am Hope there will be season 2. Even some best Japan dorama do not have season 2 for some of them. Just please like Code Blue, they continuing the season till have the movie this July.

Andmonke Mar 31 2018 5:32 pm I think there no season 2 that's japan style that's will no season 2 to they drama they always do that like before oguri shun drama Border No season 2 too that's even that's good or best the drama still they japan style

Willraven Feb 27 2018 11:50 pm Best Japanese action drama that i've ever seen since Bloody Monday

Akira Jan 01 2018 11:01 am Will there be season 2? It doesn't look like it finish..

Filipina Dec 07 2017 12:55 am I just knew that the singer who sang the opening and ending theme song of this drama is a Filipina - Beverly. She's said to have impressed Oguri Shun in one of her live performances. Can't believe it! As a Filipina, I'm so proud! (tho as a fan of Oguri Shun, I'm beyond jealous T_T)

Airi Dec 01 2017 2:11 am Shun and Hidetoshi both soooo kakkoii <3 my heart flutters!! Love this series! Season 2! Season 2! Season 2!

Yu chan Nov 29 2017 7:29 am Who cried a lot on this one? Hahaha I think I cried on episodes when someone die and everyone get disappointed. ?

Yu chan Nov 29 2017 7:26 am I pretty sure there will be a season 2 for this. I'm sure they won't leave the emotions hanging.

Popo Nov 19 2017 9:09 am Great drama with great actors! Season 2 pleaseee..

Olivia Nov 09 2017 2:41 am Season 2 onegaishimasu

FromPHwithlove Nov 05 2017 11:36 pm I absolutely love this drama!! I love Oguri Shun with all my being and I loved him even more when he's got partnered with Hidetoshi. I love them both. The fighting scenes are WOW I almost cried! I love it! I love it! For crime and detective genre lovers out there, this is a must-watch!

KURO Sep 01 2017 5:28 pm Those f*cked high politicians of f*cked government originally creates a special police squad to saves their ass and eliminates the threat from the 'monsters' without realizing they just creates another 'monsters' within in their safe-house. It's a Karma. You reap what you sow. Really hope they could just killed those high ranking in government without the death of innocent souls. Season 2 & 3 please!!!!!!

Maya Aug 12 2017 10:22 am I loved it but it was really dark ending. Though I absolutely loved it .

Mirtika Jul 12 2017 8:15 pm The show was excellent--and the actors worked very well together. The two leads have charisma and acting chops.

The story is dark. Don't expect wonderful happy tied together endings. There is injustice. The theme of government being corrupt and what do people do to work against it fills the show and you can't make that a gleeful thing.

The ending works, if open-ended. It's one of the consequences of gov't injustice, betrayal and corruption--you push good people to make a choice.

I don't think they'll be a second season (this feels as if it ended the way it should), but I'd love to see a second season just to see these guys working together again.

Terrific show.

boyaa Jun 20 2017 9:25 am is there any second season for crisis??? Really want to watch it for the second season so badly ...

sylvia May 25 2017 7:11 am Really love the show have been watching while in Japan would love it with English subtitles and DVD so can continue watching in Australia

Mii May 16 2017 7:50 pm @CrisisFan - Shirasu Jin?

Anyways this drama is great! Thrilling and mysterious with some humor.

kenji May 02 2017 1:11 pm Love this drama. Simply 5 thumbs up! Excellent performance from Shun Oguri and Hidetoshi Nishijima!

CrisisFan May 01 2017 4:46 am Does anyone know the "rapist" Guy's name in episode 1?? He's looks sooo familiar but I can't put my finger on it.... 0.0

edo Apr 01 2017 11:04 pm after S:The Last Policeman, i was wondering if they'd make another drama based on the actual anti terrorist units.. been waiting for some time, hopefully it's equally great

Anu Feb 08 2017 12:37 am Hidetoshi sama kakkou ii !! Can't wait!

precious Jan 15 2017 5:51 pm Two of my favorite Japanese actors yay!!!, cant wait to watch.

Murasaki-kun Jan 13 2017 10:51 pm Yasss! New drama from Shun Oguri. But lately he's been in too many detective drama/movie. I hope he will get another rom-com drama in the future. Btw, good luck for your new drama! ;D
