My best guess is he's good at handling shows with large casts and main characters with specific quirks. It seems like most of his shows, even the ones that aren't legal dramas, usually center around a character who has a trait that makes them more than just an average joe.

He's an interesting choice, for sure.

I'm usually hesitant when a person known for writing "mainstream" stuff tries his hand at niche genres. In this case, he's proven his nerd bonafides by spearheading the Lupin III revival... So color me intrigued, if nothing else.
