1 - 13.1% (outstanding) 2 - 11.5% (amazing) 3 - 10.6% (very good) 4 - 10.2% (good) 5 - 12.5% (that Friday was a holiday) 6 - 10.8% (very good) 7 - 12.4% (that Friday was a holiday) 8 - 11.7% (Totoro was airing at the same time on another channel) 9 - 11.5% (amazing)
Note that the time slot generally has low ratings so even with covid rating bump MIU has lower ratings than Haken no Hinkaku 2, Nagisa The Housekeeper, BG, and Hanzawa Naoki 2.
It's confirmed! The last episode will air on 4thh Sept so it's 11 episodes! I'm so happy!
Initially, 14 episodes were planned and people worried that only 8 will be made. Then it was found that at least 10 will air. Now we know there will be 11! Yeeeees
- Nogi-san (the writer) was inspired by Nash Bridges, Letal Weapon trilogy, and the documentary 48 Hours (I'm not sure about the last one, though) when writing the script.
- Arai-san (showrunner) pitched the drama a long time ago but was given a 'go ahead' only recently. This is Nogi-san original script like Unnatural.
- Despite seeming simple, the drama is very complex - it is full of micro-detailes, symbolism, and metaphors. The structure is also exceptional.
Wow Suda Masaki is in this too? The past three jdramas I watched had him too, is there a show he hasn't done?
Nogi-san (the writer) admitted that she was grudgingly imoressed with Dele. So the fact that they casted Aso Kumiko and Suda is very suspicious x)
I think recently the was an interview where Miu's producer said she had wanted Suda and everyone had been convinced she would have never get him. Surprisingly, he had agreed! Both Yonezu Kenshi and Hoshino Gen praised the team behind Unnatural to Suda a lot so, perhaps, it helped convince him.
I still didn't understand who the murderer was because they didn't show that murderer’s face when he was drinking…
Actually, the murderer is revealed (the movie is based on a book with a clearer explanation) - it is the guy on the Island who watched the girl being raped and who was killed by her friend. We are to assume that Naoto is innocent and that the boy friend who had debts to yakuza is also innocent.
So, people who are watching, how did you like 6th episode? Have you dropped everything to rewatch miu from the…
Btw Gen-san said that he received fan letter from the actual Police officcer who said that their whole precinct watches miu. He also said that Shima, Jimba, and Kokonoe are spot-on while everyone wants to be like Ibuki but can't.
As time goes on, officers collect more and more regrets. The conflict in ep 6th is very recognisable to japanese Police officers.
He plays a very endearing hyper character (sort of dumb, impulsive, intuitive, and cute) so some people initially thought he was too old for the role. They were wrong, of course! There was an article recently that claimed his role in miu is a beginning of a new era in his acting.
Miu404 is a bit quirky at the beginning so I recommend to stick with it for the first 3-4 episodes before dropping.

There is lots of buzz about MIU currently, people try very hard to predict the plot. Some new famous guest is scheduled to appear next episode (8th), while Okada Kenshi let it slip that a guest from overseas will appear in the finale (people speculate it's Oguri Shun).
I am watching epi 6 and got so bored. Should i continue this one ?
The first few episodes could be hard as one learns names and faces. One of the male leads appeaes only at the end of 3rd ep! So I'd advice you to keep on. However, if you usualky watch dramas with a very prominent romantic lines, romance here would disappointed you.
Not to mention there's BABYMETAL references in Episode 7
There was a special ingerview of Yonezu done by Gen-San and Ayan Go. And Yonezu said he felt enormous pressure writing a main theme for Gen-san's drama lololol
The next episode will feature Suda Masaki and King GNU's Daiki Tsuneta. Along with Hoshino Gen as one of the leads and with the main theme by Kenshi Yonezu, Miu404 is J-pop/rock paradise.
Both Hoshino Gen and Ayano Go play characters that challenge their acting (Gen-san especially - he opened up a completely new side of his acting), it's a pleasure to watch. There are high expectations for the finale with many people hoping for Ayano Go and Suda Masaki stand off.
This is undoubtedly "the" J-drama of 2020 (Haken and Hanzawa Naoki beg to differ, obvs, but to each their own).

Nevertheless, it made quite an impression on Japanese audiences so I really wanted to see it.
As I expected, Okada completely nailed his character. Perfect casting!
