SYNOPSIS
Hōmonji Sharaku is an aristocrat with an IQ of 246. He comes from an intellectual family whose first-born male child always inherits the exceptionally high IQ of 246.

Sharaku solves problems easily, and he often finds himself with a lot of time with nothing to do. He usually goes out to look for challenging cases to solve...



REVIEW
IQ246 is an interesting drama about crimes that could have been perfectly executed, except an aristocrat with a high IQ kept figuring things out and incidentally helps the police to catch the criminals they wouldn't be able to catch otherwise because of their incompetence.

It is necessary to accept a few preposterous propositions if you want to get through the drama, such as (1) the police are quite stupid, and (2) civilians can go to crime scenes and interview potential suspects. If you don't, I'm afraid the drama won't make any sense.

I like the discussion on how people can only measure other people against themselves. I think, in a way, it means how people see other people and how people interpret other people's actions is more of a reflection of their own selves.

Hōmonji Sharaku: Humans can only measure others against themselves.
