This is
the fourth season of the drama series.
During a
cruise trip in Kyoto, Itomura Satoshi (Kamikawa Takaya) is, together with the
passengers and crew of the ship, hijacked by gunmen, right leaving the harbour.
While threatening to blow up the ship, the gunmen blow up one of them, leaving
small burnt pieces of paper behind. Using his smarts, he tries to alert the
police, who have occupied the harbor, of possible on-shore accomplices. His
signal is spotted by Kanzaki Rio (Kuriyama Chiaki), a detective of the Special
Crime Management and Control Office (Tokutai), a team that specializes in
crimes that are seen as either too wired or hard to solve. Soon enough the
cruise is saved, but the hijackers are nowhere to be found. But Itomura
believes otherwise, and the Tokutai are introduced to the unique man, only
interested in the burnt pieces of paper, left by the hijackers….
Sorry
about the summary - it’s been a while.
After
four seasons, you kind of get used to the flow and storylines of this drama. It
is a nice break from serious and heavy dramas, and you can enjoy it without much
prior knowledge. Though I haven’t watched the special that is in between season
3 and season 4, I felt that I didn’t need it. I could follow the story, and I again,
didn’t need any backstory. Season 4 is also different, in the sense that we are
in a different city and with different characters (except Itomura of course),
so it is very refreshing. I also feel like this season has turned up the
storytelling - the individual episode stories are really well-written and good.
All in
all, a good drama with good acting - and good storytelling.
