I have to admit, the only reason I’m probably going to watch this is for Dafoe as Ryuk.

I don’t know. In the Anime he was always a narcissist and even spelled out for himself early on about how he was going to bring about a new world order. He even used that overly expositionary tone that the series loved for his inner monologues, like every problem in the world was a logic puzzle that had to be solved…

Since when don’t you hear the tire screech when a jet lands? There is always that squehumph sound when they first touch down.

What the fuck is this shit? AVClub looks like some kind of Gawker clone now?
