CONNECTED: The Homebound Detective

2022 · 1 season

A quirky, low-key crime puzzle anchored by an oddball shut-in, mixing gentle comedy with mild suspense and the comforts of home.

Overview: Ataru Aida lives with his mother and has never moved out of his childhood room. A clean freak since he was a little boy, Ataru hates to go out and is cynical and seriously lacking in communication skills. He was having a blast with his work-from-home situation brought upon by the COVID-19 pandemic when, one fateful day, he is fired for having an attitude problem.
How it feels: Cynical, light, satirical and tense. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Isolation, crime, identity, family
Content: Mild violence and language. No gore or sexual content.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
