Shinhannin Flag is a rather interesting show with Nishijima Hidetoshi as the father of a seemingly happy family of 4 who one day discovers that his wife and children have inexplicably vanished.
There's no ransom note and they could not have possibly vanished because of family violence. Nishijima seeks help from his old friend who works at magazine and his case goes viral and he gets attached from various people.
While Shinhannin flag is exciting because its the everyman getting caught up in scary situation story, there are a couple of reg flags.
First is that this is the every single supporting character acts suspiciously and because they are overtly suspicious, they are most guaranteed to be red herrings so enjoyment of the show is dependent on what the true reveal is.
Second of all, this is an NTV show and they did something similar with Anata no Ban Desu which started off as an interesting whodunnit mystery and just kept dragging and I did not care to keep watching. I have a feeling it might happen in this one.
I like Yoshine Kyoko (Konto ga Hajimaru) as Ninomiya, the ace of the call centre for the transport company that Nishijima works at and I hope it does not turn into Anata no Ban Desu. Watchable with decent probability of dragging.
