I don't understand why anyone over the age of 17 cares about Death Note, let alone an American adaptation of it.

I never watched it, but the concept is pretty cool. Dunno about that stupid-looking demon always hanging around the main character though.

I don't know why you would even animate a show like that. It's just people talking.

I don't even mind Black L but Jesus Christ that Light is fucking terrible.

Will still watch because I liked the animated series and Willem Dafoe is always fun it the clips I'm seeing do not instill any confidence.

And I mean, hey, a white guy is playing Micheal Jackson, so it balances out.

You try to find a black actor who turned "white", they pretty much HAD to cast white or use makeup.

L isn't just black, he's a black ninja. I swear, this is going to piss off the "cultural appropriation" people AND the "diversity" people.

And I don't care. Read the comic or watch the anime. You'll have a lot more fun.

TBF, both the black and white guy should be Japanese, if you want to call out forced diversity. I'm just being honest, here. Acting was kind of ass tho; it's like they're trying to emote the way an anime character does but that doesn't translate too well when you're dealing with actual people, unless it's a comedy.

This series is damn late though; probably should've been like 2012-2014 or something like that. I'd actually much rather a live-action series of Zeiram or BLAME!, or Dorohedoro.

This looks so bad. They force a black guy down our throats as L, one of the sharpest minds on Earth. If they wanted actual diversity they could've gone with an east asian (Japanese, Chinese, Korean). It would've been a way to honor the source material, even though I believe L is 75% white in the manga. In that scene L is just fucking terrible, so is Light.

Vast majority of Netflix originals are pure shite
