Erika Toda SPEC screenshots episode #1 and synopsis
SPEC or Keizoku 2 was an Erika drama from the fall of 2010, it's a remake of the 1999 Keizoku series which starred Miki Nakatani. In the current one, Erika plays Saya Toma, an air-headish detective, yet quite a genius, assigned to the Unsolved Cases Department. While most of the cases don't deal with that, the department gets the real hard, oddball cases to solve. Working with her is the recently demoted Takeru Sebumi, played by Ryo Kase, an extremely serious detective and was demoted for shooting his partner though it wasn't his fault. And leading these two is their superior Kotaro Nonomura, played by Ryu Raita, bit of a bumbling fool but will do anything to stick up for his small team.
Have only seen the first 5 episodes so far, but to me this is so much better than the original...funny, aloof, serious, interesting, good plots....really a must watch, especially if you're a Toda fan. Not her best drama but I think it's her best acting performance to date, she really carries this show and is so enjoyable to watch. Won't give a final rating yet, it's only been subbed up to episode 6 so far, but after 5 episodes I'd put it at a 9/10, think it's one most would enjoy and a must see for us Erika fans! Bunch of screenshots from the first 5 episodes below, all featuring you-know-who!
