Galileo is a crime drama show that explores the world of crime investigation through the perspective of Yukawa Manabu, a genius physicist who specializes in the field of solving complex crimes. The show is set in Tokyo, Japan, where the main protagonist Yukawa Manabu works as a professor at the university.

In season 1 episode 1, called "Episode 1", the show introduces us to the main character of the show, Yukawa Manabu. He is a brilliant Polymath who teaches quantum physics and also conducts research work in the field. The episode starts with Yukawa Manabu attending a murder scene in the middle of Tokyo city, where he meets with a former student named Ishigami.

Ishigami is the prime suspect in the murder investigation, and the police have arrested him for questioning. However, Ishigami insists that he is innocent and explains to Yukawa how he had no motive or intention to commit the crime. Yukawa, intrigued by the case, decides to help Ishigami by conducting his investigation parallel to the police investigation.

As the story progresses, Yukawa starts to observe the crime scene, looking for clues to solve the case. He finds scattered pieces of evidence that don't seem to add up, but with his intellect, he discovers that there's a hidden motive behind the killing of the victim. His investigation leads him to a possible cul-de-sac, where he has to contest with the police and prove their apparent suspect's innocence.

Apart from solving the case, the episode also sheds light on the characters' lives and their past experiences. Yukawa has a history with Ishigami, and their reunion raises some unresolved emotions. The character of Yukawa is also portrayed as socially distant and indifferent to the people around him—however, his intellect and IQ make up for his lack of social skills.

The episode concludes with Yukawa presenting his findings to the police, which leads to several plot twists. The show's unique quality is that it portrays the criminal cases realistically, and the audience gets to see the actual investigative process that professionals undertake before solving a crime.

Overall, season 1 episode 1 is an excellent introduction to Galileo, and it establishes the tone of the show perfectly. The episode is well written and intriguing, and it leaves the audience wanting more. Yukawa's character is brilliantly portrayed by Masaharu Fukuyama, who brings life to the screen with his performance. The show's theme of combining science with crime also makes it an interesting watch, and it stands out from other crime dramas in terms of its execution. If you're a fan of crime dramas or shows with a scientific touch, then Galileo is a must-watch.
