How did the murder happen?

That's the question every episode.

This drama is fun to watch, the episodes and cases are not connected so there is no big story or a villain to defeat at the end. It's two students solving murder mysteries.
I like those kind of stories where the main characters are not detectives (in this drama Kindaichi is a grandson of a detective but he is a student so technically he has nothing to do with solving murder cases) yet wherever they go, murder is there.
They go on vacation, murder happens.
They go on a treasure hunt, murder happens.
They go somewhere with school, murder happens.
They are in school, murder happens.

I understand that it's the plot but it's funny to see how will murder find them.

A few patterns between episodes I noticed:
- Every episode, it's revenge. Someone killed a person they cared about and now they are back for revenge with an overly complicated plan.
- Not even one murderer or a bad person went to jail because they all die at the end. I might be wrong but I don't remember even one villain that survived.
- At least three people die in an episode.
- Kindaichi and Miyuki can't have one normal vacation.

This drama is dark and messed up.

The fact they went crazy with blood and special effects didn't help but I applaud them for that, the gore makes the drama better.

Some things are disgusting (not murder but some parts of the story) but I still enjoyed the drama because the point of the episodes is to find out how the murder happened and who is the murderer.

Overall, I recommend it to people who like weird murder mysteries.
