I thought, after finishing the Monster, that Johann is not just too good but too implausible. As was, largely, the show itself. Taking into account that no supernatural ablities were ever suggested (unless the last talk of Johan with Tenma was inexplicably telepathic), some of Johan's feats (like the insanely improbable "candy kiilings" early on) looked as unlikely as winning the Lotto 30 times in a row.

The story was largely good (particularly the psychological elements and all that stuff about the "inner monster"), the art and the (Japanese) voice actors were great, but damn, the script was often very sloppily written and was way too plot-hole ridden. Which was a big shame really.

Inspector's Lunge's "dog with a bone like" obsession with Tenma, despite all evidence and eye witness testimonies to the contrary, is largely a walking plothole in the first half part of his story, for instance. I liked him a lot in the second half though (after he chose to hunt down the real bone to blame).
