Scott says: "It has scale and scope which I haven't seen in a long time"
“I’ve never seen a British show filmed in the UK that is 75% in another language, I’ve never seen that ambition before in a British show.
“There are some bits where the plot becomes a bit knotty, but I do feel it has some scale and scope which I haven’t seen on TV for a long time.
“It’s one of those shows that makes you concentrate in a good way, and in a world of distractions that’s not a bad thing.’’
“It’s a Must Watch from me.’’

Hayley says: "It feels more like a film"
“This is a detective show that is filmed in Tokyo and London.
“It’s really well shot as it feels more like a film than a TV show.
“I liked it, it falls into that detective show formula of the main detective being embroiled in the main case.”
