Nothing scheduled
Is it for me?
Genre fans who like a sad detective story with body horror in it, and who don't need constant thrills, will do best here. During a live TV interview, smoke enters a professor and he blows apart, and the hunt that follows is eerie. Yu Aoi makes the reporter warm and sharp, and Shun Oguri plays the cop low-key.
Before you start
After a gory cold open it settles into a slow investigation of one continuing mystery, so give the opening episodes time.
1 season, 8 episodes, 54 min each, about 7 hours so far
