Dark Drama about Tsutomu Miyazaki
Tsutomu Miyazaki, aka "The Rat-Man," was one of the worst killers in Japanese history. This TV show dramatizes his crime spree of the spring and summer of 89'. He scared everyone in Tokyo and nobody felt safe. He took many photos of his girl victims in many stages of dismemberment.

Milwaukee got their Jeffrey Dahmer, Tokyo got their "Rat-Man." This is a pretty bloody and eerie show, it does not hold back from the violence. You might even say it kinda goes a little too far with the violence.

8/10.

"Rat-Man: The Series" hits close to home, and your funny bone.

Warning: Spoilers
Matthew L. Schaffer's long shelved series "Rat-Man" has finally found a place in today's world. With newcomer Robert Burton on board, ratings have been great for the fledgling series, now in it's second season. Robert Burton is a stand up comic, actor, and an INCREDIBLE voice artist who also works for NBC. Given the fact that RAT-MAN wears a helmet, but Burton still has to deliver the subtle points across with no visible facial expressions, it's kind of amazing to watch. Rat-Man is a recession (or depression, depending on how you view the economy these days) hero. He's got money problems, (who doesn't) and not a lot of money. What he does have though is a lot of attitude, the ability to fight, and a desire to make ends meet by fighting crime. So what if he has to charge you a little something to protect you? Unfortunately, for RAT-MAN, it's his pursuit of justice that inadvertently make viewers laugh, due to the predicaments he ends up in. It never really works out for Rat-Man, but I think the viewers out there all agree: the more screwed up it get's for Rat-Man, the funnier it will be for us. Thanks Rat-Man...
