Immerse yourself in a series mixing action, suspense and twists of all kinds. But, don't expect an American-style series where everything ends well. In Crisis, events sometimes end tragically. And some scenes can also be considered shocking (death of teenager, blood, explosion, …). However, if that doesn't scare you, go for it. One of the strengths of this series is that it addresses problems of corruption and "free pass" through serious investigations. In addition to the action, Crisis also offers us moments full of emotions. Although these moments are only punctual, they are still pleasant and remind us that our agents are not just machines. In addition, the actors are excellent, Shun Oguri (Inami Akira) and Hidetoshi Nishijima (Tamaru Saburo) offer us a very rich duo. Their personalities are very far apart, but they end up fitting brilliantly. And the other members are not left out. Whether it is the Team Leader by a posture full of authority, but remaining human, a geek with a complicated past or a pro in terms of explosives, everyone has a very important place. Finally, the soundtrack is very well chosen and accentuates the atmosphere of the series. The only negative, so to speak, is that this drama has only 10 episodes. These are so well paced that you will have finished them without noticing.
Border
Border, adapted from the eponymous manga by Kaneshiro Kazuki and Kotegawa Yua, has 9 episodes of 46 min. The manga, completed in four volumes, is available from Komikku.
