Kochira Hon Ikegami Sho 2003 [こちら本池上署] it will make you laugh, cry and sometimes groan at [Rating: 8/10] The humor and the drama remind me of Kimpachi Sensei in spots. The boke humor gets a little bit corny in spots. The drama of people trying to make relationships work will get to you.
Like many Japanese ensemble dramas; some of the storylines take a bit of time to develop; yet are not boring or overly sentimental . I wish more US shows were like this.
