I never thought I would find a show on the same wavelength of TDJ, yet here we are! I could not stop thinking about how similar these two shows are while still retaining both their uniqueness. First of all, the story, the themes and the context are quite similar, they both aim at making you question the relationship between ethics, morality and the law, however, they will also denounce some of the cruelest and messed up aspects of our society, and it will sting. Then the characters: the protagonists are both considered unlawful/cruel/corrupted despite working as representatives of the law, yet through their questionable methods they are able to reach the fairest/rightful outcome, they also both have past secrets and family issues! The co-protagonists are both young guys who are initially suspicious of the main lead and interfere with his work, but they slowly understand each other and end up co-operating. I can’t say anything else about the development of the story because Sins of Kujo has not been completely adapted yet (and I haven’t read the original source), therefore I can’t say for sure whether it’s going to go a different route than TDJ. I would also say TDJ is set in a way more dystopian universe compared to SoK, which, on the other hand, seems to paint a more realistic image of modern Japan and what being a lawyer actually involves behind the scenes. That said, I loved both of them so much, truly among my top favorites.
