Jashin no Tenbin is the latest in WOWOW's Ishi no Mayu series except this time Kimura Fumino is not in it and the Aoki Menutaka plays the main character Takano.
The Ishi no Mayu series has always been meh for me. Its better than your usual idoru cop dorama but there are always elements of the writing that irk me.
This time Jashin no Tenbin is more Gaiji Keisatsu as Takano has transferred to public security (Kouan) so this is a story about a serial killings where internal organs are removed and the heart is placed on a scale with a feather.
Of course as jdorama law dictates, no one likes Takano and the way he does things rubs everyone else in public security the wrong way but he does bring a different set of skills with his background in the first division. I really like Matsuyuki Yasuko as Takano's partner Himuro and you can never be certain whether to trust her or not.
I enjoyed Jashin no Tenbin and it is easily the best of the Ishi no Mayu series. The writing is tight and is actually suspenseful whereas the other shows in the series I struggle to care.
If you are after a serial killer investigation with a political bent by public security who will have no qualms about achieving the piece using whatever method, this show is for you. Watchable for me and thanks to earthcolors for subbing!
