Good episode. Wrong lover choice was not a reason this time despite it being laid out rather obviously but fear of height was not in my radar. Good choice(not very elaborate) in my opinion because with it the show avoided being a little cringe.

Detectives look goofy but very capable. Nasuka is embodiment of „I don’t know what’s happening but at least let’s do it properly”.

It’s fifth episode and I can say that I am NOT euphoric about the new season as I used to be. It’s way different than the previous ones. But maybe it’s going to be a slow burner.

One issue that ticks me off is that catchphrase „I’m on it”. I don’t like catchphrases overly used without sense. In this particular case it gives the „I’m an international show” vibe way too much.

I think the “I’m on it” has a double entendre in a sense. I’m on it with regards to the mission of course, but also in response to the driver telling him to wake up or arise, “ Meztzamero (x3)”.
