This is my first review, because I saw that this show only had 3 reviews and was shocked. It's very very good.
Usually, in shows where an attorney is the main protagonist, it's some righteous dude who's ''looking out for the people and fighting evil''. It's refreshing to have a protagonist who's moral compass is... gray. He's very confusing in a good way. He makes you expect the unexpected.
If you are in the first few episodes, please STICK with this show because it will be worth it. This show got progressively better as you started to understand Akizumi's motives. It's a slow burn in a way, but definitely worth it with the lead-up to the final few episodes.
The plot, directing and the storyline of this show is 10/10. The story telling is truly excellent and the acting is too for the most part. The only reason I give an 8 is the bad sound mixing and one actor. I understand that the show is supposed to be dramatic, but the music is REALLY OVERDONE in a few parts. I felt like I was watching a Youtube video at times with the characters speaking over the music, lol.
The actor I found annoying was Mansai Nomura. I understand that Datehara is supposed to be an antagonist, but this actor straight up creeped me out. He had very weird mimics, eyes and he just made me uncomfortable. I had a hard time looking at the screen when he was on there, he was that much of an eyesore. Don't even get me started on his constant idiotic laugh. I get that the director was trying to make him annoying, but it was way too overdone. Feel like this character could've been acted in a more serious manner.
Still, 8/10. Would recommend it to everyone.
PS: The protagonist is annoying the first couple episodes and his tracksuit looks like a bathrobe but he actually gets more likable as the show goes on, lol.
