Dele Episodes 4-8

Dele starts off as a show with an interesting concept as its about a company that deletes people's data after they have passed away. Somewhere down the line, Dele turns into a benriya/detective agency type show where the characters are more champions of justice than this secret hush hush company for a world where everyone has huge digital footprints.

The main characters so easily break their client confidentiality by always peeking at the date (so that they can solve the case) and sometimes I just wondered why some people gave them the data to be deleted in the first place? A show about erasing or altering digital footprints would make more sense or even a show where data is to transmitted to certain people upon someone's death.

The chemistry is interesting but Dele fails to make to take advantage of its premise and distinguish itself from our average show. Dele is watchable but it is far from show like River's Edge or Mahoro Ekimae Bangaichi. Watchable but forgettable.

    As someone who work related to client's confidentiality, watching Dele got me offended too. I know they did it for the sake of the story, but still..

  3. @anon: Neither of us are willing to resync the subs at this time. I should have saved the subs separately before I started subbing. I might do it next year but no promises.
