Death Note: Desu nôto

After seeing the disastrous Death Note 2017 Netflix adaptation, it's clear that they completely butchered it. However, Death Note 2015 (the 11-episode drama) is a whole different story. This series is as close to the original as it gets, and honestly, I think it even improves on it in some areas.

The drama made some smart adjustments, tweaking Light and L's attitudes while keeping the other characters faithful to the original. The plot got some key changes, but ultimately, it leads to the same outcome. It's brilliant, making subtle fixes that really work. The tension is palpable, and the music is spot on. The cast also did an amazing job, with every character looking just right.

I was hooked from the first episode, which pulled me in and had me binge-watching it in no time.

I won't say more to avoid spoilers, but if you're a Death Note fan, this is absolutely a must-watch.

9.5/10.
