We had pretty much the same reaction to this series, although it sounds like you enjoyed Katagiri more than I did (I didn't dislike him, but he didn't leave much of an impression on me as a character).
I haven't been able to find much of Amami Yuki's work. I'm planning to check out Enka no Joou once I wrap up Around 40. Top Caster and Rikon Bengoshi haven't been subbed (to my knowledge), which surprises and disappoints me.
I enjoy rolling my eyes at angstmuffins when the text agrees that eyes need to be rolled at them, but enjoy them considerably less when the text wallowes in their angst and tragedy.
Katagiri's angst tied into a trope that I despise, so I couldn't enjoy the way the show dealt with his angst. This is my first time seeing the actor, so I didn't have any preexisting warm and fuzzies for him. I did like him more towards the end of the series--the scene where Osawa is shocked! shocked! by what everyone is eating was too cute for words.
I'm very sad that the lawyer one has no subs.
Me too! Since it was mentioned in BOSS, I guess I assumed that someone would have subbed it, too.
I've found the RAW for season 1, but all my Googling has been able to discover is other people asking about subs.
Oh, I HATE that trope and hated that storyline from his perspective. Like, I totally get why he feels guilty, and would worry if he didn't? But he didn't exactly have many options, and everything about the situation said that what he did was as right a thing to do as there could be. I get why he has angst over it and don't have problems with the angst itself, but I hate how they handled it and portrayed the situation. And the other guy was a complete idiot. I mean, seriously, what was he thinking? The only one of the three I could really sympathize with was the killer, and that was largely because she wasn't there to see how it went down, so I could get why it made her go off the deep end, even though she did very much need to be stopped.
It really irritated me that Katagiri withheld information about the case because it tied into his angst. I really hate plotlines where cops decide to face the bad guy alone when they should know better.
I had no sympathy for the dead man. As I said in my own post, anyone who chooses to answer their phone when an uneasy cop has a gun trained on them is an idiot. I felt bad for the killer, the reveal that *she* was the one who called him was painful.
