In the United States, the national agency regulating television mandated the use of subtitles for new shows on commercial stations for precisely this reason. While the official reason focused on making television more accessible to "often excluded individuals" such as the handicapped, television's role in teaching English to millions of immigrants remained an important motive. The once small pilot program has now been expanded to cover all the major networks. <BR/>Your approach goes one step beyond just listening, reading, and watching. By forcing yourself to summarize the shows, you are also pushing yourself to write in English too. Good job!<BR/>Keep it up.<BR/><BR/>P.S. Watch your verb tenses. You made more than a handful of minor errors in your concise plot summary. Please forgive my corrections.<BR/>--------------------------<BR/>Yukawa Manabu (Fukuyama Masaharu) 福山雅治 is a brilliant university professor known as “Galileo”. He helps Utsumi Kaoru (Shibasaki Kou) 柴咲コウ, a young detective solve mysteries case. Yukawa Manabu, who is also considered a strange man, is only interested in physics and scientific theory. That explains why he is only interested in how the mysterious cases (singular or plural) happened, but he is not the person who committed the crime. Somehow, Utsumi Kaoru manages to take advantage of him to help solve the crimes.<BR/><BR/>Feelings and Comments:<BR/><BR/>No doubt this is the detective drama of the year. The show has a good story line with detailed scientific theories and logical references. This drama is actually based on two detective novels. Plus it showcases a very strong cast with all the talented guest stars. It’s been a long time since I have seen a detective drama this good. This drama has some similarities with the US series “Numbers”. There’s always some calculations that need to be done before solving the mysteries.<BR/><BR/>Fukuyama Masaharu (福山雅治) sure is talented. That’s both in acting, singing and composing song. He even helps in composing the theme song. That’s thumbs up for a hard working and talented singer/actor.<BR/><BR/>Things that caught my eyes:<BR/><BR/>The supporting cast and guests of each episode are very famous. You will be surprised to see some of the top singers and actor/actress who appear just for a few minutes.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06765320883510788501noreply@blogger.com
