I first ran into this series without English subtitles. Even without knowing what the characters were saying, the acting was good enough and the plots were formulaic enough, I could get a pretty good idea of what was happening. The emotional cop, the cool scientist; the investigation, the interrogations, the explanations of the mystery with flashbacks and inserts - yeah it was all pretty understandable and entertaining.
Then the series was finally posted on Youtube with English subtitles. What a revelation. There's humor like with the professor's assistant and with the cop's best friend, a medical examiner. There's a theme involving the impact and feelings of the victims, but most especially there's the relationship between the rookie cop and the genius professor. She follows her instincts and expresses her feelings, sometimes at the top of her voice. He is in the beginning only interested in the cases for their scientific puzzles, but little by little, he comes to see the emotional and ethical values in them and in the detective.
It's a match of opposites. She may not know who Isaac Newton was and he didn't watch cartoons as a kid, but eventually they come together and fill each other's empty spots.
Now a second season of the series has come out 6 years after the first one. How long will it take to appear on the internet, preferably with English subtitles, and what will it be like. She can't still be a rookie detective; they can't still be performing this dance of emotion and logic in their relationship; and why is Ko Shibaseki only listed as appearing in 2 of 6 episodes.
Curious minds wait with bated breath.
