In THE SLEEPY TOWN OF BROKENWOOD, New Zealand, the affable residents may seem harmless, but killers, blackmailers, and thieves lurk in every picturesque corner. To quell the community's alarming murder rate, Detective Mike Shepherd (Neill Rea) uses an unconventional style that contrasts with the methodical approach of his partner, Detective Kristin Sims (Fern Sutherland), and the eager assistance of DC Sam Breen (Nic Sampson). In Series 6, Shepherd and his team face a deadly explosion at a steampunk festival; a bestselling crime author killed in the same manner as a murder in his book; the shooting of an animal rights activist protesting a duck hunt; and a suspicious suicide inside the local women's prison, that pits them against convicts they've put away in the past. Full of dry wit and twisty plotlines, these mysteries are as compelling as they are quirky.

平日里游手好閑看似極不靠譜的私立不動高中二年級生金田一（堂本剛 飾）卻是個智商很高的推理天才，他和青梅竹馬的美女七瀨美雪（友坂理惠 飾）、警部劍持勇（古尾谷雅人 飾）等伙伴和朋友，攜手解決了不少棘手事件。且金田一解決事件的方法比較特別，他依賴于貨真價實的證據(jù)，再依照證據(jù)來思索和推理，由此及彼，再由彼及此，這樣循環(huán)往復(fù)，最終推理出犯罪兇手。而對于兇手，金田一并不是要把兇手逼向絕境，而是給予其舍生處地的想法，最后加以規(guī)勸，使兇手最后以自首結(jié)束。借由金田一我們一起進入不思議的案件當(dāng)中。本劇改編自同名漫畫，是系列作的第二部。
