Not As Good As Season 1
I never read the Manga, but I did watch Season 1. Miura Haruma, Narimiya Hiroki and Satoh Takeru gave fantastic performances. The music was okay, but could've been better for adding suspense to some scenes. The story concept was good, but the writing and execution had too many holes. The Hornet vs The Falcon wasn't as intense as it should've been. There was enough suspense and action to keep me interested and watching all the way to the end.
However, like many other Japanese dramas/thrillers the production is not good and the director is lacking. Throughout the season no camera stabilizer was used, so the film is shaky and took away from the watchability of the show. It gave me a migraine, it was that bad. It didn't matter if the camera zoomed in or was out , the whole thing shook like a person who had too many Red Bulls or Coffee. Also there were scenes where the evil doer was trying to be all stealthy, but they didn't use a silencer on the gun? That's just stupid and amateurish. Also bad directing is that guns were pointed way to close to the other person's face. The point of using a gun instead of a knife, is so you can kill from a distance. Either you are a terrible shot or you've never used a gun. This all should've been caught by the director. With such great actors, these mistakes kept the show from hitting a higher overall score, hence 6/10.
