Miike meets Twin Peaks
4 / 10jdoramadotcom · 2010
An eclectic Miike Takashi mood enfolds this six-part crime drama. Striking visuals, intense violence, and an arcane plot combine in a way that isn't entirely satisfying; it seems that the plot is more interested in building the mystery than resolving it, making for curiously uninvolving series. If this had been distilled into a more concise form, it would have been more compelling

7 / 10jdoramadotcom · 2009
Picture watching one of Miike Takashi's weirder movies filtered through a Twin Peaks moodiness, add some gore and more than its share of odd plotting, and you have MPD Psycho.
A cop is after a criminal who controls his victims' minds by sending them cell phone messages, and whose distinguishing characteristic is that they have bar codes printed on their eyes. The whole thing doesn't make a lot of rational sense, but the series is visually interesting and certainly has more than its share of exciting moments. Ultimately, it's kind of hit-and-miss.
