August 3 半沢直樹2 (第3話視聴率 23.2%)

TV Program:     半沢直樹2
Broadcaster:     TBSテレビ
Date/Time:     from July 19, 2020 (every Sunday 21:00)
Highlights:     Episode 3
News link:    東網 (HKOnCC)     YahooJapan     蘋果日報 (AppleDaily)

Remarks (August 3, 2020):
With the high popularity (視聴率), wonder if this TV series will extend to have more episodes?
If so, that will be great! I can continue seeing Mitchy every Sunday for coming months . The story of this TV series is very good.

Reporters did not exaggerate, 黒崎駿一 did have "hands-on action" to his staff several times in episode 3, the way it's presented had some comic effect .
Actually, in 半沢直樹 (2013), 黒崎駿一 did similar 'hands-on action' as well, just not as many times within one episode.

Remarks (August 15, 2020):
I look forward to seeing Mitchy in this program (top restaurants) . Fine dining is one of my favourite hobbies .

Do you know? In the past (before 2013), I have been writing comments frequently on restaurants via "TopTable" (now rebrand as "OpenTable").
Some restaurants have been very happy with me because they became very popular afterwards.
I like travelling round the world.
I have been writing lots of comments on hotels in TripAdvisor (before 2015). A portion of my audience are from "TopTable" and "TripAdvisor".
Other than fine dining & travelling, I also like high performance sports cars. I like to drive fast, and I have taken the 'advance driving' course after I got my driving license when I was studying in the university.
Recent years, I have been very busy with setting up business in USA, so I have stopped writing comments in TripAdvisor, only share photos in my Facebook.

Remarks (August 22, 2020):
Very happy to see you (Mitchy) in this program. Your lovely smile does brighten my day with happiness .
Would have been even better if the program is longer... 30 minutes is too short for 3 main topics.
Other than food, nice surprise that Mitchy talks about various other topics.
Best of all is... Mitchy does 100% of the talking in this program.

Remarks (September 5, 2020):
I enjoy this program very much (Mitchy). I watched it again today. Same as Mitchy, I do not eat spicy hot (辣) food .
