Past faced and very interesting storyline but I feel like the assumptions of the investigators *cough* L *cough* are just out of nowhere and just because we see all the perspectives, we know they are right but if we were the police or the NPA, none of his assumptions would make sense. They are very clearly only serving the plot, not reasonable storytelling.
Basically, right now, I am not impressed with L at all. I am hoping this will get better.
