Anusaya

Straight up twelve-episode crime drama. Fleshing out of the story is minimal. Jarring at times. It is unusual in that a Thai drama deals with this kind of content, in this way so directly. It reminds me of other countries' dramas. This is more a violent & graphic Thai after school special on 'you do the crime', and you get punished no matter who you are. In that it is needed.

Viewers have asked for well-defined lines of criminal and romantic intent. Defining rape & murder, as a crime in this context is a service. Entitlement of the rich and powerful, not a defense. Revenge, not justification. The story is good, a little short, and the victim dialogue, is disappointing. But, the final outcome isn't a head shaving and a trip to the temple. In that, it could have been a turning point in the industry. But, it's a basic crime drama, with no frills.
