Wonderful, but unappreciated show, due to its less popular cast. But the cast gained popularity from this drama! A police story, no hero show. You will see the human-side of the glamourous job, and how much redtape still exists in the civil service. Great buy, must buy!

I was so so no into it cause i'm not really into police dorama. I was really really into it by the middle of the first episode though great graet. But terrible ending i think... |

Same kind of cop tvshow we got going on over here in the states, except its in Japanese. Good but nothing new. |

This show is awesome! You'll like every epidsode. The script is one of the all time best in a police setting. The movie special was just as good as the series. |

It's a good fantasy action. I use the word fantasy because most of these things have 0% potential of actually happening in Japan (the excessive gun usage, for example, ahem ahem). |

Different pace of drama than I'm accostumed to. However, very interesting. Liked Eri Fukatsu and Oda Yuji. Yanagiba Toshiro is so cool though. He even earns my respect! Mizuno Miki was a definite plus in this drama! |

The funniest drama ever on J- air.
I've kept the files on my HDD and had it replayed until it broke. *sob*
I just love it. :D |

| 17. | Comments by totuta [Rating: 8/10]

If there's one drama that justifies a sequel, it's this one. Even after the final episode it felt like the beginning of the story. I wanted to get to know the characters more. This drama doesn't offer any complicated murder cases, just the "everyday life" of police officers & how politics affect the detectives work. A very well scripted drama with lot's of humor & emotional moments. One not to be missed. 9+ |

This drama is really good and is fun to watch. If you are gonna miss something, not this one. |

I love this show! It is very funny and the casts are excellent. |
| 22. | Comments by thetenken [Rating: 7/10]
Funny and enjoyable drama, helped especially by Oda Yuji in probably the most charismatic role I've seen him in. Also appearances from a young Mizuno Miki and Fukatsu Eri. |
| 23. | Comments by gomibagu [Rating: 7/10]
Pretty good. Quite funny. Sometimes not very realistic but overall a good drama. |
| 24. | Comments by kinki_txr [Rating: 7/10]
Oda Yuji has did a good job in this show. Now I know why he is so famous in acting policemen and a lot of special of this drama. |
| 25. | Comments by Geezer [Rating: 10/10]
I love this show! The mysteries aren't important. It's the cast. And the cast was perfect. After watching it I rushed out and bought both of the follow up movies. |

Fairly good dorama. Haven't seen such a relaxing working environment in a police station before... |

Great drama! Oda Yuji is a great actor! |
| 31. | Comments by Aunty Coco [Rating: 8/10]
Yuji Oda is simply hilarious... He is not exactly a hottie... But in this show he has the x-factor which I find it simply irresistable... Great cast & fabulous acting skills by Yuji & Toshiro... |
| 32. | Comments by MSZ-006C1 [Rating: 10/10]
Definitely funny ! |
| 33. | Comments by Tu_triky [Rating: 8/10]
A great show! Quintessential example of what's good with "older" doramas. Sincere acting, great casting and a novelty difficult to find in later programming. Oja Yuji and Eri Fukatsu are GREAT...Eri Fukatsu looks absolutely fabulous in her "younger days." A grand actress...the supporting character were also interesting and helped add to the delightfulness of this show. |
| 34. | Comments by minochi99 [Rating: 8/10]
Good police show. Oda Yuji was good here. So was Eri Fukatsu. Recommended. It might be a little too short. Maybe not enough spark between Oda's and Eri's character. That could've spicen things up a little. |
| 35. | Comments by rikastar [Rating: 8/10]
I love this one, it's a real classic. Even though I watched this 8 years after it was shown, I don't get the furui feeling that one gets from watching some of the older shows. Except maybe the fashion sense XD I find the balance of comedy and drama really really perfect in these series, and the cast have great chemistry too. All the characters from the station have such distinct and amusing personalities and the dialogue is good too. I personally love watching Yanagiba Toshiro frown, it happens every episode and usually because of Oda Yuji XD |
| 36. | Comments by v1olet [Rating: 10/10]
absolutely fun to watch police story. can't help myself but laugh out loud. very very entertaining. satisfaction guaranteed. Oda Yuji is fantastic. |

Part sitcom, part crime drama, but all fun! Ohda, Fukatsu, Yanagiba, and Ikariya were a so fun to watch. I've seen many Japanese dramas call into the trap of being... to dramatic for their own good, but R&P handles itself well. You'll laugh, maybe cry, fall off the edge of your seat and find yourself wanting more! |

Fun cast and interesting stories that keep the viewer watching. |
| 43. | Comments by lostdancer [Rating: 10/10]
Really funny but is a not famous dorama. |
| 44. | Comments by Shindou [Rating: 9/10]
The strongest police dorama i've seen and certainly in leagues with Keizoku and Midnight Rain. Oda Yuji does a fabulous job in this dorama as Aoshima and i definitely look forward to seeing the specials. cast and script are also first-class. This dorama definitely counts among my favourites |
| 45. | Comments by williu [Rating: 10/10]
Great script from the first episode 'til the last, leaving you craving for more. An utterly compelling police drama with plenty of funny scenes! |
| 46. | Comments by Eyeyore [Rating: 9/10]
corny jokes, great music, funny characters......and Yanagiba and his charming frown ! He should frown more often in his dramas..... |
| 47. | Comments by Shouryuuken [Rating: 10/10]
Considering I'm trying to rate relative to other dramas I have seen, Odoru really is the creme de la creme of Japanese drama and that is made obvious by the fact that any Japanese person you ask will have heard the Odoru theme tune.
Excellent acting, story-line, continuity, music with a dash of comedy and unlike other dramas, watching it a second time is not boring. If you have never seen a Japanese drama before and you want to see the best that is on offer, then this is the drama of choice. |

A timeless detective drama with a lot of substance. Full of wonderful characters, subtle but hilarious humor, and interesting storylines, it will have you intrigued until the very end. If you can't get enough of it, there are a few movies too! |
| 53. | Comments by yourasthma [Rating: 10/10]
this show obviously deserves a place in the top 50. intelligent humour from the dialogue and comical situations. best ensemble cast for me despite the stock characters... memorable theme song as well. my only complaint would be that it ended too soon but then again, there were so many specials, movies and spin-off movies. i haven't watched the entire franchise, but this drama gets my vote and two thumbs up. |
| 54. | Comments by gaijinmark [Rating: 10/10]
Perfect cast, perfect writing. Highly recommended!!! |

Kinda old school. The plot was kind of boring most of the time, but the actors were great. |
| 57. | Comments by xploring [Rating: 9/10]
Terrific police drama that doesn't rely on the complexity of plot but still very engaging. Great cast with interesting characters that I wish I could learn more about, and absolutely hilarious at times. :D
Oda Yuji is the best of all leading men I have seen. |
| 58. | Comments by Wynter [Rating: 9/10]
A cop drama with a great cast and great stories! Really gets you thinking about some of the cases. I had a lot of fun watching it. I want to be a detective too! |

Couldn't get into it at first but I like it more now. Very funny and good casting. I like the second half the best. And I really love the movies. |
| 61. | Comments by Akiiness [Rating: 9/10]
This is no doubt the BEST police drama I've ever seen. Very episodic plot, but it's still very enjoyable. I loved the cast and it had its funny moments. Very light police/crime dramas, which you don't come by all the time. I highly recommend it! |
| 62. | Comments by jessiesoon [Rating: 8/10]
interesting.... |
| 63. | Comments by Ikuko [Rating: 5/10]
It was nice: interesting and sometimes funny but it's not a very good drama. To see if you don't have anything to see. |
| 64. | Comments by ginger ale [Rating: 10/10]
I'm speechless. This jdorama a.k.a Bayside Shakedown is an effin golden oldie. It was ueber funny and exciting . It's a fun watch. Now I know why its a cult classic that spawned 5 specials and 4 movies.It's got subtle lessons on ethics and the politics of the system as well as a parody of the Japanese police structure. The cast was impeccable-Oda Yuji,Yanagiba Toshiro, Fukatsu Eri!! I love kick azz in your face police stories with a sense of humor!!! I absolutely love this jdorama and I want to watch all the specials and movies too. |
| 65. | Comments by phlargo [Rating: 9/10]
It felt a little rough starting out. The music and the characters are infectious. Sure, it was really really cheesy at points, but in the end I really enjoyed the series and gladly recommend it to others. The action theme music totally sucked me in - you knew when things were going to happen and you got excited about it (well, kinda at least). It was fun!
The older retiring detective, Waku, was one of my favs. I also really like Murai (the headquarters supervisor who was always frowning).
It was rewarding to watch, even if it probably felt dated 10+ years ago when it came out ;-) |
| 66. | Comments by Jackykero [Rating: 7/10]
Because I have seen Hero before watching Odoru Daisousasen, there was no way I could not compare the 2. The general plot and structure of the 2 doramas are quite similar: for both series, each episode is structured around a case that the main character is involved in. The detective is a bit of a maverick with different methods and beliefs. And there is a small romance with a female co-worker.
I think that Odoru Daisousasen did a pretty good job. Oda Yuji was very good and charismatic, and all supporting lead did great, including the comedy parts. I was looking for a little bit more romance, though, that would have spiced up things and added some depth to the characters. The relationship between Oda Yuji, Fukatsu Eri, Yusuke Santamaria and Mizuno Miki was easy to create a bit more of chemistry and emotion between the caharacters. This is why I gave it a lower rating than Hero.
It remains a very good family dorama with good acting and an interesting storyline. |

A refreshing change from the average cop show. Often the cases where solved by a simple confession or even by accident, its' almost the anti-CSI. Healthy degree of cynicism of the vertical structure of the Japanese police system. The attempts at comedy didn't really work. |
| 68. | Comments by EstherM [Rating: 8/10]
Fellow drama friends have said it already many times: it’s a funny classic that aged (will age) really well. It’s a must watch for all those who love police and mystery dramas. Entertaining but was a bit pathetic around episodes 6 an 7 and Oda Yuji is not really my cup of tea. I find his mouth creepy, probably because he insists on singing and he really shouldn´t, his singing makes me actually appreciate JE ending songs. |
