Bland, predictable, boring
Every episode tackles a societal issue such as police brutality, gambling, healthcare, corruption, illegal porn etc.
Sadly those issues get a surface level treatment, while the majority of the episode is just getting a source to reveal something sinister such as a lie or conspiracy. Plot twist upon plot twist each episode. that always ends the same way; the truth is revealed live on TV by the news anchor.
The series just can't decide what it wants to be, a commentary on japanese society, an insight into the work of a news anchor or just a drama of humans, and that is probably why it fails on all those things. It's so bland, so boring, so predictable.
