Imagine this: Netflix is packed with shows that nobody notices, and among them lies a true gem – “Girihaji”! This British-Japanese crime drama, originally aired on BBC and later on Netflix, has won the hearts of critics and viewers alike, yet it remains mysteriously unknown to the wider audience. With an impressive 8.3 million hours watched on Netflix, “Girihaji” proves that quality doesn’t always come with popularity.
The main character, Detective Kenzo Mori, takes us through the dark streets of Tokyo and the London underworld as he investigates the mysterious murder of his nephew Saburo Enda. Things get complicated because the prime suspect is his younger brother Yuto, who was thought to be dead for years. With the help of British detective Sarah Weitzman and the witty colleague Yamaguchi, Kenzo fights to uncover the truth in a world full of danger and intrigue.
What makes this show so special? Besides a story full of unexpected twists and emotional moments, the finale is described as “beautiful” and “emotionally disarming” – something rarely seen on TV. Critics have praised it from the start, but most Netflix subscribers have never even heard of it. However, on Reddit and other forums, “Girihaji” is often recommended as a hidden gem everyone should watch.
If you’re tired of clichés and looking for a crime drama with soul, outstanding acting, and a unique atmosphere, “Girihaji” is a series you can’t miss. Maybe it’s time Netflix finally gets the recognition it deserves for this fantastic show. So, have you watched it yet? Or will you join the army of those who discovered it too late?
