This is
the third season of the drama series.
The
drama continues where the last season left off, and the team has been allowed
to focus on big cases due to their success of solving them in the past. Even
though the team is still intact, the MPD First Investigation Division sends
over Morita Sosuke (Nishimura Masahiko), a serious and loyal veteran detective,
who is the complete opposite of Itomura Satoshi (Kamikawa Takaya). Though the
team is used to Itomura and his sudden weird antics, the headstrong Morita
refuses to let Itomura trample on the ranks and structure of the Japanese
Police Force. Being gentle by nature, and quite frankly uninterested in
anything but the victims, Itomura doesn’t rebuff or comment on Moritas
obejctions, which infuriates Morita even more.
As
Morita gets more and more used to the team, his initial goal of reporting about
the division becomes less and less important, and Itomuras unreasonable
personality becomes a common thing…
Compared
to season 2, this one seems a bit darker. Even though its better than season 1,
it has some element -which I can’t put my finger on - but it gives you a
different feel. I don’t know if it’s because of the colors, or if its different
locations that are dark, but I felt I bit sadder watching this. The humor is also
dark, which, I believe, contributes to the theme. The stories are amazing, I think
my favorite of all 3 seasons. They are sad, heartbreaking, and most of all relatable.
I didn’t
like the main story though. It kind of felt repeated, and I am sick of people
against Itomura, it’s boring. Same old song, even if it gradually becomes
better, you just want to watch a team, not this typical story…
Anyways,
cool season, with amazing side stories, but typical and recognizable main story.
