You like death note, simple as that, and there's no problem with it. I went in with no prejudices, actually quite excited cause a friend pumped up my expectations, and by episode 3 or 4 I already dropped it cause the dialogue and the script are, to my taste, completely childish garbage.
I can't see a game of cat and mouse, but two extremely self-important, overstuffed characters portrayed (especially L) as extremely intelligent guys, but they're in fact just dumb.
Actually, not even as a kid I'd watch something like that.
And I like thrillers, Death Note is just not a good one imo.
But again, idk why you've been arguing to the contrary, that's a matter of taste and its subjective. Some people hate evangelion and noragami, for example, whereas they're two of my favorite animes. And I dont try convincing them otherwise
It's okay to dissent
Says the guy who clearly didn't even watch it
