Idea that the films should narrate events equal to or more extraordinary than those seen in the show. The change in focus appears to be in accordance with the Instead of a sitcom in which they face minor cases, they carry out their civic duties and resolve their personal affairs here we have a police thriller in which members of the traffic department have to stop the terrorist acts of a former member of the police force. In this franchise, Taiho Shichau zo The Movie (1999) is a controversial film because a lot of fans consider it a break from the main show. If you want you can read my review in Spanish. I recommend to not watch this in one go, but rather if you need some relief from a story full of suspense and drama.Excuse me, I'm Spanish and I don't usually write in English. I gave this a high rewatch value, because it's only 9 episodes and an easygoing storyline that you can pick up anytime between.

The action was also great, because they get to show their fighting skills, but you see that they're still vulnurable and get injuries like any other human.įor me it was just a nice feeling to watch an old show with some actors I already know and also find new ones, whose work I might check out now.

The two main leads are simply charming and their interaction with each other and the people around them is really funny. I wouldn't call the acting superb, but that somehow makes them feel more real to me on the contrary. Although I never read the actual manga I think it is still visible in the drama: the comedy, the over the top acting, the strange characters such as the section chief, who's always looking for someone to play Shogi with him.Įvery episode revolves around one case where we can see the characters develop and learn about the supporting characters.

I've always wanted to watch this drama, because I remember once reading about the manga.
