The first ten or so episodes, basically until the character Misa Misa appears, the show was one of the most tightly written, engaging and great shows I have ever watched, and then not only does it become boring with only a few great episodes sprinkled in there, after the episode "Wager" the show never comes back to being an ok let alone amazing show. After that episode almost every episode afterwards is either offensively boring or offensively bad.
