Amazing. Mind blowing. Genious.

On rewatch: the first 10 or so episodes are fairly gripping, especially the detective work of L as he rapidly narrows the investigation, and Light as he thinks through his plans. But the final 2/3rds of the series begins to lose its steam as the pacing dies down, and deus ex machina kicks in to compensate for increasingly puzzling strategies which (at best) have no real reason to work. While spoiler

does indeed have the effect of making the middle episode the most gripping and dramatic of the series it also ultimately spoiler

making the entire second-half something of a slog.

I have no idea if this manga/anime, with its central anti-hero and cat-and-mouse tension influenced shows like Dexter and Breaking Bad, or if they all came out at a similar time simply because that's how creative trends often manifest. But either way you have to massively credit this story for being ahead of the curve and for doing it pretty well.
