The Criminal(2026)

Criminal is a Japanese series that weaves together three seemingly unrelated mysteries: a brutal mass stabbing, a scandal at food giant Titus Foods, and an outbreak of unexplained infant illness. Detective Soma, struggling journalist Yarimizu, and Shuji—the stabbing's sole survivor—find themselves drawn into a dangerous investigation that connects these events. As they dig deeper, the truth becomes far darker than anticipated, forcing each man to confront uncomfortable questions about guilt, complicity, and who truly deserves the label of criminal. The series explores how ordinary people become entangled in extraordinary crimes, and how the search for justice can blur moral lines.
