Crisis indeed

I just watched a Japanese drama series called Crisis: Special Security Squad.

One word? Superb.

However it is rather dark. Not for those who like happy endings, because there is a healthy dose of realism in it. Some characters are so serious, you can probably count the number of times they smile. The characters are fleshed out well; it's like every bit of information has a purpose. There are ten episodes, and I feel that the plot links the ten episodes together really well.

One thing that I didn't like was when they didn't handcuff a couple of terrorists when they clearly could, and in the end they didn't get to catch those terrorists.

Another thing to note was that the squad seemed ridiculously honourable, never using their guns unless if the opponent has a gun. They will use their fists to fight if it's sufficient, and then if the opponent has a weapon they will bring out their batons, even if they have a gun that they can use to gain the upper hand quickly. So silly. *eyeroll*
