Death Note (Season 1)

Death Note (2015) is a Japanese live-action crime drama you can watch online on iFILM, adapted from the manga by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata. High school student Light Yagami finds a notebook that kills anyone whose name is written in it — property of a death god named Ryuk. Light starts using it to execute criminals, operating under the alias Kira.

Within months, Kira is international news. The only person standing against him is a private detective known only as L, whose face and real name no one has seen. L has never lost a case. Catching Kira means out-thinking someone who can kill with a name. The series builds its tension around that chess match: two exceptional minds, opposing definitions of justice, and no margin for error.

The drama sharpens the manga's central question rather than softening it — whether eliminating confirmed criminals constitutes justice or simply a cleaner kind of murder. Stream Death Note (2015) online on iFILM.
