I liked him because he's a *supposedly* smart manipulative bastard who lets nobody get in his way to what he wants.
Is he evil? Yes, I don't agree at all with his methods and frankly I think he was an arrogant immature prick far too self-centered to succeed in the first place. He only got so far because his enemies (with the exception of L and Near) were all idiots and he got the people to love him (obviously, they were idiots too). So it's not really his fault now. Is it?
I like it when ''smart'' (the writers want us to think he's smart) people play the others and win. I don't care if they're good or bad, it's just a show. I'm tired of seeing how the good guys always win, it's far too unrealistic and it just gets boooring. That's why it's nice having villains win every now and then.
And that's why the last episode completely ruined the show for me. Actually, I liked it better when he killed L and won and ruled over he world with a bloody iron fist. And that's what I accept as the true ending of the series.
