Dying Eye

One would think that WOWOW X Higashino Keigo would be a great combination. Usually its true but this time we have a dud.

Dying Eye is about a bartender who is attacked and loses his memory, especially about this car accident that he was previously involved with. Everyone around the bartender is very suspicious and and a mysterious woman appears at his bar who looks suspiciously like the victim of the accident but somehow the bartender doesn't even realise it.

I only watched the whole 6 episode series because it came with Japanese subtitles. I was bored with every small revelation and the dialogue just felt stilted. It just felt weird how the stupid bartender was not asking the obvious questions, especially in connection with the mystery woman. They sort of explained it away with some supernatural elements of the story which I was not a fan of.

Dying Eye just felt like a 2 hour whoddunit movie that was stretched into 6 episodes. Don't watch it
