The first season of Fixer was about the car crash mystery of the Prime Minister, the second season was about how Karasawa Toshiaki would free Watanabe Tatsuya from being framed for a crime he did not commit and the third season is about a kidnapping set during a Tokyo governor election.
The first thing that caught my attention has this line by Kobayashi Kaoru saying only 50% of eligible voters vote for the governor of Tokyo. Half the people don't vote and even if they did, they do not remember the names or the policies of the candidates. The most important thing is to have people remember your name. Hhmm, this is true for mayor voting as well.
Season 3 started off well with the election and kidnapping of the daughter of a construction company, then there is this hostage exchange thing which I don't really buy. Fixer has a lot of great ideas but execution is lacking in details.
I do enjoy having Furuta Arata and Takashima Reiko for season 3. WOWOW casting is usually very good and Fixer is no exception. If you accept Fixer's flaws and turn off your brain, it is a fun whodunnit series set in the political world.
The best part of Fixer season 3 is the ending which made everything click in place because I did not understand why Karasawa Toshiaki did a bunch of things. Is there going to be Fixer season 4~6? Fixer is a 3 season series as far as I know. I really want to see what happens next and how Karasawa Toshiaki will get to his objective. Flawed but watchable for me with an exciting ending. Bring on the next season! Only the first season of Fixer has been subbed but Jp subs are available at avistaz.
