Don't really mind how similar Near is to L, in fact I like seeing how he pushes L's personality to an extreme

L is relatively normal. His hygeine is basically normal, he's able to speak to strangers, etc.

Note: I also like Mycroft more than Sherlock, for the same reason.

Near and Mycroft both have those traits, cranked to the point where they impose actual dysfunction.

Near and Mycroft are more interesting because they show the curse side of those traits.

When you see a character like Sherlock or L, they are usually set in a trinity: them, arch-nemesis, dysfunctional version of themselves

Their cranked-to-11 version of themselves is usually more interesting, due to this realistic cognitive tradeoff

Near is more intelligent than L, but he'd probably die of thirst without a butler.

Mycroft is more intelligent than Sherlock, but he probably couldn't buy tobacco by himself

Near and Mycroft are more interesting *because* they're shown dealing with their cognitive architectures.

This was explicitly the idea with the Mycroft analogue on Monk
