The basic premise is the protagonist found the note of a Reaper. If someone's name is written in it, they will die (there are a lot of extremely detailed rules so if you like heady stuff, it's interesting). The protagonist happens to be very intelligent and intends to use the note to rid the world of all the bad people, as he judges them.
Of course there's more to it than that. The reaper that dropped the note did it on purpose because he was bored. Basically all the death gods sit around playing games and he wonders why they even exist. Also, just because he's using a magical notebook to kill doesn't mean a good detective won't find out about him. Enter, L, the most famous detective in this world who manages to use a lot of analysis to do a very good job of attempting to identify the killer, even though he has no idea how the killer is doing it. It's become a cat and mouse game with L and the main character (Light) trying to outwit each other. Yes, I have seen the series and I like it.
And yes, this is a hilarious video isn't it?

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
