Interesting show that seems more like the American style of TV shows where each episode is a stand-alone story. Kept me entertained but there wasn't anything special about it, though there are some pretty hilarious moments. I think I only finished it for the shallow reason of wanting to see Fukuyama Masaharu. |

A solid, fun mystery. A mix of the X-Files and Numb3rs with humor and without the annoying unanswered questions. Very good acting overall with lots of great guest stars to keep things interesting. My only complaint was the weak ending. It was like they threw away the believable plots and suddenly turned it into a goofy episode of Trick. Still, very much worth watching. |

I loved the main characters' chemistry - probably my favorite thing about the show.
I didn't like the thinking/physics montages, but I really enjoyed the cinematography otherwise. They made it feel like the director/writers were trying to dumb it down too much for us regular folks - like the professor was so far above anyone that even looking at his logic couldn't possibly make sense to mere mortals. I'm okay with that.. but then don't use a bunch of silly drawings and compulsive writing to accomplish it.
Some of the early eps were weak - but I think at least 4 near the end were really good. I really enjoyed seeing the professor's growth and the subtle changes Kou's character made as she got exposed to more and more logic from the prof.
She was a little juvenile at times - I would have liked to see her being a more authoritative, even if she was just a rookie. She felt a little too comic at times, for the reason she was bumbling around.
She is so cute <blush>
Loved the professor - I think he was great all around, though I could have done without his post-montage poses... I really didn't like that part, can you tell?
Fun show! It gets the nod. |

pretty entertaining. it's a little strange because different episodes have different directors but overall it wasn't a terrible dorama. My only complaint is that there wasn't enough character development but that is a common complaint for shows like these. |

Galileo -- Masaharu Fukuyama |
| 13. | Comments by Shindou [Rating: 7/10]
A decent drama but was somewhat disappointed the script didn't go further to bring out the acting ability in kou or masaharu. Plots were reasonably good and entertaining but at times, yukawa sensei's sudden inspirations and scribblings don't really make sense in the context of the crime/problem - guess one could argue its a quirk in the character but sometimes it just didn't feel in place. Overall, a decent dorama. |
| 14. | Comments by g_hunter1 [Rating: 7/10]
This drama is similar to Trick. The ending was sorta rushed. |
| 15. | Comments by Jhvx [Rating: 10/10]
Very good dorama, it's a thrilling dorama combined with science topics, my only complaint is that the ending could be better but despite of that it is a very interesting dorama |

Jan 2008: Shibasaki Kou + Fukuyama Masaharu, Hot professor + Pretty cop, I'm completely sold. Science + detective is fun/ interesting too. Minus marks on that weird pose, old school formula. |
| 18. | Comments by aoi_dolphine [Rating: 9/10]
Science plus crime works best for me. |
| 19. | Comments by aik0 [Rating: 5/10]
Yet another investigation drama. Nothing to write home about, and not particularly interesting (given the somewhat interesting cast) |
| 20. | Comments by a-nesuto [Rating: ?/10]
watching:) |
| 21. | Comments by williu [Rating: 6/10]
Many seem to like this drama but I can't fathom why. It's a poor attempt at creating a new 'Trick', only with a very silly approach (though the writers/producers try to make it seem realistic) and unfortunately bad acting. There are some good parts, but they are too few. |
| 22. | Comments by Eyeyore [Rating: 8/10]
I think I am drawn to this drama......neh...not because of Fukuyama. The guest stars are more famous than the main cast. The criminal cases just got better and better |
| 23. | Comments by cutesawada [Rating: ?/10]
It was OK.....the sciencey bits were sorta interesting. But it felt like I was working on my problem sets or something watching them figuring out how the perp done it. Probably won't watch more new epis tho |
| 24. | Comments by expanzee [Rating: 2/10]
Crap and predictable. |
| 25. | Comments by miriya52 [Rating: 9/10]
Quite well done, but I'm not into murder/crime shows so that still creeped me out a little. But it's nice to see a solution based in science though the crime scene appeared to be supernatural. |

Best part was the interaction between Yuukawa and Utsumi. Could have used a little more character development. Beginning and ends were the best parts. |

A mystery drama whose main characters are a quirky scientist and a rookie female cop. The high points of this drama are the cameos made by famous Jdrama actors and actresses in each episode - ie in one episode Hirosue Ryoko plays a woman whose husband has gone missing, in another episode Fukada Kyoko plays a dedicated wife whose husband ends up having an affair and she divorces him soon after. The other high point of this drama is the interactions between Galileo and Kyoko. It's cute.
The stories in this series are pretty interesting, in fact some of them are downright chilling, especially episode 1. They can be very dark. Aside from that, the episode itself is formulaic and it's very predictable after you watch the first two episodes. Crime happens, rookie asks for Galileo's help against the wishes of the assistant professor, Galileo has many hypotheses, one small thing triggers him and he starts writing all these equations, etc.
Overall, this is a great show to watch if you enjoy mysteries and it is a lot better than most of the mysteries that Japan has been airing recently. I recommend it, however it still pales in comparison to "Keizoku". |

One of the best show of the season! I loved solving the puzzles every week. |
| 34. | Comments by pinkokoro [Rating: 8/10]
COMPLETE.HS. confuse whether to give this a 9 or 8. whatever it is.. it's a nice mystery drama (physics-based). |
| 35. | Comments by aiscess [Rating: 7/10]
I thought that this will be a dark drama but the atmosphere wasn’t that dark at all. I've been just deceived by the black screen at the start of each episode. The first episode was interesting especially when they did that experiment as to how the suspect did the crime, skipped ep2 was more like an episode of Trick, ep3-8 was also good, ep9-10, I thought that the crime would even be harder to decode but it wasn’t. I was just disappointed as to how they ended it. They could have thought of a better mystery or crime to end the series with as to how they started it. |

I love anything that's about crime investigation. Plus Shibasaki is in it. Very interesting drama. |

This drama has very high viewership ratings. The stories are fun to watch. I like 福山雅治, but I don't like the leading actress. |

A perfect and interesting drama, other than weak plot. |

I loved the Yukawa/Utsumi combo and definitely enjoyed the twist this series took as a detective series. |
| 44. | Comments by Ezalor [Rating: 7/10]
This was a big hype in Japan. Great cast, quite interesting criminal stories, but overall just average. There's no dragging part in the storyline, because every episode has it's own, separate story. |
| 45. | Comments by sucigam [Rating: 8/10]
The first episode of this drama is excellent and had me hoping for an amazing drama but that episode ended up being the best of the 10 by far. Still I was pretty entertained throughout and it's been awhile since Kou's done something worth watching, 8 it is. |
| 46. | Comments by ginger ale [Rating: 10/10]
I loved the fusion of the supernatural and science, logic and intuition in solving crimes. So intriguing!!!Glad to see Masaharu Fukuyama back on the small screen with an awesome performance.He is even hotter than the last time I watched him in Bijo Ju Yujuu where he played a cool, cheeky laid- back TV producer , his flippant character a sharp contrast to the serious genius Yukawa-sensei a.k.a. Galileo sensei. Kou Shibasaki gives another credible performance as the intuitive detective. Every episode was exciting, I couldn't wait for the next. And ep 4 with Shingo Katori of SMAP in that sexy shower scene made this fangirl faint. Is it too much to wish for a Part 2? |
| 47. | Comments by Kendesu [Rating: 9/10]
I really liked it maybe because I like how they use science in this drama. I really don't believe in superstition so it made it even more intriguing. |
| 48. | Comments by Scarlett [Rating: 8/10]
I learned a lot from watching this series. I'm no good in physics and this serves a great tutorial class to me. To top the list, Fukuyama is the every reason to watch this drama. He rocks... I like him a lot!! He can pull every role that he played. |
| 49. | Comments by hummer [Rating: 7/10]
It was fun to watch, but it was just a shallow enjoyment... There was almost next to no plot development, only case after case. The relationships didn't really progress, and at the end of the series, it felt like it didn't really go anywhere. The people in there seem intentionally dumb just to make Yukawa seem super smart. The girl seem to be useless as a cop and seem to be unable to solve a single case by herself while Yukawa scribbles nonsensical math equations that seem to have no meaning since his explanations don't really deal with any calculations.... The characters were cute, but this drama could have been better, especially with all of the famous guest stars and the concept. |
| 50. | Comments by oldasianguy [Rating: 6/10]
Series was kind of draggy for me....even with the addition of "guest stars" in each episode the show lacked sparkle ..... |
| 51. | Comments by dokodemodoa [Rating: 8/10]
I instantly compared this to trick. Trick has the advantages though, because it was truly a comedy. Great cast actually, but terrible script. Some episodes were great, some just lame. Nice soundtrack |
| 52. | Comments by shinjitsu [Rating: 6/10]
Amid lots of hype ... thought it was just ok. Copy of 'Trick' |
| 53. | Comments by Signo [Rating: 7/10]

Nice, if you like trick you would like this one too... |

nice mysteries. |

pretty good : ) some of the science introduced were really cool!!!
some parts i got bored cuz i couldn't catch up with the story hahha and towards the end of the episode when they rounded things up was when i got it. |

Reminds me of Trick series. |
| 61. | Comments by Inujun [Rating: 9/10]
This drama is pretty much episodic and almost the same thing happens everytime. Something weird happens-->utsumi finds yukawa--> yukawa solves it. Therefore it isn't good for a marathon, however I liked many of the cases where although the guilty one was clearly shown, the way they commited the crime was clever. I also liked the scientific explanations for all the cases. Some did indeed creep me out a bit and I nearly did believe in the supernatural side of it, but the explanations were clear enough. Pretty good background music, plus love the utsumi-yukawa duo, though disappointed nothing actually happened between them. |
| 62. | Comments by JackClark [Rating: 8/10]
Its a pretty good crime drama. Kou is so funny here. |
| 63. | Comments by tabana [Rating: 8/10]
Like everybody, this looks like trick. It's not as good tho. The various subjects they talk was interesting. At least to learn something.
This show has the most amazing guest cast. Ever. |

Five award winner. Should be interesting dorama, and good casting too, not to mention lots of top guest stars. Interesting and entertaining. |
| 66. | Comments by yurifly [Rating: 8/10]
8.5. I don't like the episodic nature of the drama, but i love mystery and detective story in general. The tricks and stuffs were pretty interesting, but it could easily be tedious after awhile, which means that its really up to the cast to make the drama interesting or boring.That being said, there is no danger of being bored when it's Fukuyama Masaharu and Shibasaki Kou together. Fukuyama is absolutely flawless and just where the hell do you find that hot of a scientist?!?!I probably would pay more attention in my physics class had he been my professor lol. As for Shibasaki Kou, they had great chemistry...even better than shibasaki and kimura takuya imo. |
| 67. | Comments by Saint Seiya [Rating: 10/10]
One of my favorites! Each episode is omoshiroi!
Shibasaki Kou is my dream girl.... |

Galileo is a lot like Trick, and just as fun. I had fun watching the mysteries unfold and the chemistry between Kou and Fukuyama was grand. |
| 73. | Comments by DukeGonzalez [Rating: 9/10]
although its kinda annoying when the sensei starting to calculate to solve the case, but its pretty worth watching drama. |
| 74. | Comments by jed_ka [Rating: 8/10]
2 Various professions: a woman detective and a Scientific professor, solve various mysterious cases. That sounds like adventure!
Enjoy watching! |
| 75. | Comments by kneehard [Rating: 9/10]
I did not get to watch the whole series, because it was a toss up between which one I should download: Galileo or Hana Kimi, and Hana Kimi won.
However, what few episodes I managed to catch, I really liked. Plus, I'm a sucker for Masaharu Fukuyama..so I'm giving it a 9 out of 10. |
| 76. | Comments by Jackykero [Rating: 8/10]
Good detective series. The cases are interesting, the acting is very good, and there is comic relief everywhere to make it fun to watch. |
| 77. | Comments by bmwracer [Rating: 8/10]
Enjoyable and entertaining drama... I really liked the interaction between Fukuyama Masaharu and Shibasaki Kou, but there wasn't very much growth in either character and their relationship was almost too sterile... Let's see how the upcoming movie (Fall 2008) turns out. :) |
| 78. | Comments by kimjj33 [Rating: 10/10]
If you like Numb3rs, you'll definitely love this drama!!! |
