Good detective drama
I watched this show as a child and only remembered it being very entertaining. Now I finally understand its strengths: the balance between standalone cases and the overarching storyline is perfect. One case in particular is brilliantly crafted—not only is the plot tightly woven, but the criminal's method is deceptively simple yet unexpected, with an underlying critique of meritocracy. The pacing is fast and intense—back then, I was amazed that such a gripping show had so few episodes. The characters are nuanced and well-developed; the pitiable have their flaws, and vice versa. The only flaw is that the villain's fall at the end feels somewhat abrupt.
