LADY~Saigo no Hanzai Profile~ ep01-02 - Totally fits my bill. Gonna be following it like crazy.
cute girl = Kitagawa Keiko (check)
cute guy = Hiraoka Yuta (check)
interesting characters = all weirdos (check)

speed = fast-paced storyline (check)
fresh theme = team-based profiling (all check)
Control ep01 - Basically Galileo with a psychologist professor instead.
Gou~Himetachi no Sengoku ep01 - Strangely starting to get into these Taiga dramas.
Kokuhatsu Kokusen Bengonin ep01 - It's Keibuho Furuhata Ninzaburo! But he's like a lawyer now. um...
Gaikoukan Kuroda Kosaku ep01 - Continuation of the movie "Megami no Hoshu". Crazy good cast, but the first episode was kinda slow just like the movie.
Hope it was just because of the overseas shooting, and will speed up since they're back in japan.
Misaki Number One!! ep01 - High School drama. Funny, but seen a lot of these.
School - Primary School drama. A little more serious. Same, seen a lot.
Utsukushi Rinjin ep01 - Psycho neighbour Yukie Nakama.
