Cold Case: Shinjitsu no Tobira (2016)

I absolutely enjoyed this series. Though my reasoning may be a bit different than most. I was a huge fan of the original series and to see such a decent recreation was a treat.

I knew most of the original story lines that the episodes were adapted from and the changes they made gave me a very unique experience to be able to actually see the similarities and differences between cultures and time periods. I'm not kidding the original versions were stories set from the 60's to 80's. With this remake most were set in the early 90's, which was pointed out many times that the 90's were twenty years ago. I think I actually cringed and sympathized with my parents now knowing how they felt while watching the original series hahaha! Especially when they used music from that time and you knew you heard it on the radio.

I thought this group of actors portrayed each character wonderfully. In fact there were actual moments, looks and quips that were executed so well that I could even visualize the original actor in that moment.

I think anyone who was a fan of the original will definitely appreciate this remake.
