It's great to see the gang back in action…

It's great to see the gang back in action and such an interesting case as well! I don't think I've seen a Japanese drama so far cover a case quite like the one they did.
Also, am I the ONLY one who thinks Okada is suppose to be a gay character in this drama? And liking Akagi? xD

ST ~ Aka To Shiro no Sousa File - Episode 1

The first episode was way better than I was expecting. It definitely held true to the sp, and at some points, I thought it was better than the sp. This drama is great, it feels new and unique in the crime genre. It's a comedy, but it also has deep morals. It feels, almost at times, like a Japanese Sherlock Holmes.
And even if you haven't watched the sp, it's not exactly necessary to understand what's going on (though I do highly recommend watching it first).
