A gym teacher turned detective who treats police work like PE class? Absolute chaos.
45 minSeason 1 • Episode 9
LatestIn this sequel to Police and Prosecutor, Nakaido, the passionate gymnastic-teacher-turned-police-detective, is still eager to arrest criminals by all means and be appreciated by victims. He plunges into cases without any care for compliance issues.
Acting
Kiritani's earnest chaos makes Nakaido weirdly lovable.
Writing
Balances warm victim moments with absurd comedy surprisingly well.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Kenta Kiritani actually trained in gymnastics for months to sell Nakaido's physical, impulsive approach to crime scenes.
The original 2019 series was a surprise hit precisely because Japanese crime dramas rarely feature protagonists who openly disrespect hierarchy—Nakaido's chaos felt transgressive.
