This is my first review ever, because this show has only a few reviews and deserves more attention

The first couple of episodes felt a little bit over the top, with the lead lawyer Akizumi looking very smug and came over as all-knowing and kind of a Sherlock Holmes rip-off.

But stick with it, because each episode is connected to the main storyline of an old cold case and the show gets better and better. It made me think along with the lawyers and I was very intruiged in how they would crack the case. I love these kind of court case series.

I recommend this if you love a good story telling and fight for justice.

Hiroki Hasegawa protrays the role of Akizumi Masaki, a genius lawyer and ex prosecutor in a personal quest to save an innocent person from death row. Akizumi has a Sherlock Holmes personality with high intelligence who appears callous, arrogant, and eccentric to others, even to his own staff. He has a deep sense of justice and will use any means necessary to make sure that Justice is served, like altering evidence or intimidating witnesses, which sometimes makes the viewer question his morals, but it all makes sense in the end. I loved all 10 episodes of the series, which contain plenty plot twists and lead to a dramatic conclusion in the end. The other actors do some pretty decent work to support the protagonist and highlight further his genius, but Hasegawa's acting is on a different level. Yet i loved the show and totally recommend it.
