I guess there's often a honeymoon period when a new manager takes his 1st job but BM's effectiveness has been pretty damned amazing and goes way beyond a normal honeymoon.
I know it's very subjective but can anyone think of other new managers who have been as / more effective than McDermott in the 1st few months after appointment?
I'm struggling to come up with anyone at the moment.

Wrong!
Mick & Jimmy's first half season would be up there, albeit probably not quite as good in terms of points per game.

Kenny won the double in his first season, but they were already one of the best teams in Europe.

He was only there for a bit.

In his 1st 2 appointments he won 23 of 42 games, only lost 6.

One wonders if SJM had decided to support the team during Jim&Mick's next 2/3 seasons in charge if they would have got us promoted....?

Alan Pardew?
Didn't he pretty much do exactly what BM has done? some dodgy results as caretaker but got the job made some shrewd signings and got us from just above the drop zone to looking up at the playoffs.

The main point is 'looking up at the play-offs'
BMcD has us looking AT the play-offs from a (slightly) worse starting position.
But it's still early days for BMcD. Hold fire on the statue outside the MadStad for a little while longer yet.
