Galileo

The mysteries behind the first couple cases were amazing, in that normal people wouldn’t be able to come up with such clever crimes. And even crazier is that the professor is able to solve these crimes using science/physics. Towards the last few episodes the mysteries and way things are laid out got sloppy.  A interesting Drama that leaves you thinking if science can really solve such things, and if ordinary people are really capable with such ingenius way to kill.
Since i’m really into detective type of shows,
7.5/10
