Good Story, Great Acting

By the end of the second episode, this really turns into an excellent thriller. There are so many antagonists, you don't know who to trust or who to root for. One thing is certain, if you're a fan of Ryosuke Yamada, and I definitely am, you'll enjoy this drama. He is at his best with this series. Although the plot can be a bit slow at times, he certainly is not. Ryosuke keeps the pace going and gives us a great dramatic performance.
The series, giving us a plot about cloning and the true repercussions of what happens if it actually works ... it kind of fits perfectly in todays world with A.I. always in the headlines.
The cloning worked, now how to hide it so no one finds out about it.
Murder, deception and a slew of cover ups from a very good supporting cast. I must admit, other than Haruka Nanase, many of the people I truly did not trust in this, it was a big turn around toward the end. There are several sub plots that add to the confusion on who's good and who is bad.
In the end, it's an overall satisfying conclusion, although you may not agree with the final outcome.
I think it's a thriller that makes you ask the question, what is life, and is all life equal no matter how it's created??
