The Fantastic Pissed-Off Faces of Ishihara Satomi

As I’ve stated in many, many previous posts, NO ONE gets a Mad-On better than grouchy pout-perfect Satomi Ishihara (last wonderfully seen in the movie The Incite Mill as the extremely dour sourpuss Sekimizu) and her prickliness is given a new chance to shine in the new Crime Drama BULL DOCTOR.
As the straight-arrowed police investigator Kamatsuda Chika, Satomi’s a by-the-book  investigator who’s suddenly been teamed up alongside a very unorthodox  against-the-grain forsenics doctor Odate Tamami (played with dead aplomb by Esumi Makiko) and it’s these constant clashes that just bring out the BEST in Ishihara!
Throughout the entire pilot episode we’re treated to the most scathing and condescending glares ever projected by humans, and it all builds wonderfully to this utter frustration-fueled meltdown (of sorts) after another head-butting against Esumi in the autopsy lab! LOL
Yaaaaah! She Drives Me CRAZYYYY!!!
