- bopbop 8y agoDeath note is almost a reverse bird box. Bird box has an excellent premise, which turns out to just be a hook on which to hang some character development (I did quite enjoy it though). Death note has a really derivative premise, and then goes nuts drilling down in to the exact mechanics of how such a thing would work - there's no deus ex machina (apart from the literal god of the plot), instead it plays within it's own rules very exactly and never cheats the audience, instead introducing very clever "hacks" to its own system.
