Hamura Akira: Sekai de Mottemo Funna Tantei (2020)

This show focusses on Akira who doesn't have any reason/will/skill to be a detective but she's still going with the flow. Usually we get quick-witted leads in detective drama but contrary to that here we have a mysterious lady who doesn't show any kind of emotions and seems like a normal person on street. She have a troubled past but she's past the age to cry over that.
This is an incomplete drama since many questions were left unanswered but what I understood was that it's basically a series telling us the daily life stories of a detective whose cases always turn into something disastrous.
It's quirky and fun, I think every mystery lover should give it a try since it excels in the aesthetic setting of dark criminal world. Last three episodes are titled " Worst 10 days of akira's life" And trust me I didn't expect the finale to be so thrilling.

Simple but very entertaining small dorama

What a great little dorama this was!
My first time seeing Shishido Kavka acting and what a treat! I hope to see more of her, specially in a complete opposite character as Akira.
Speaking of the main character, she is definitely different from other shows, but not as much from other serious detectives, although I only have watched Cold Case for comparison.
I hope this get another season in the future.
If you enjoy detective thriller but wants something less dramatic this one might be it. And basically all the character love Agatha Christie, so that is a huge plus in my books.
