I'm laying the sarcasm on thick, if you haven't caught that yet.

Truth is, the original source material isn't that great. It's a fantastic idea with the first dozen or more episodes being truly outstanding. After that, the series crashes and burns, then pisses on its own ashes.

We should remake bad movies with good ideas. That is honestly the only type of film that is worthy of a remake. There was a Japanese live action adaptation, but I skipped it -- so, I apologize in advance for not being able to compare the two films.

The Netflix adaptation crams 37 episodes of Death Note into a one hour and fourty-five minute film. In doing this, you're going to have to trim a lot of the fat off. But in my opinion, they should have trimmed a lot of meat off too (with the bone still on it).
