Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for anyone who loves a strong character drama.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
2 seasons: a few weeks of evenings, hour-long episodes, about 22 hours in all.
What might put you off
It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).

Former delinquent turned unconventional prosecutor Kohei Kuryu shakes up the legal world with his street-smart instincts and unorthodox style, clashing with ambitious colleague Maiko Amamiya while his relentless pursuit of justice gradually transforms those around him.
