Dexter Review by theheadwitch

Not having cable or satelite TV' I found this show on CBS during the summer when the networks try out new shows.What a guilty pleasure! Despite the shows conotations of being gore laden and foul mouthed' CBS did a great job of cleaning up the language while leaving the story intact.

Dexter is a rather unique crime drama shown on Showtime. Instead of the typical cop versus criminal fair' Dexter follows the story of an emotionally troubled forensic technician who turns into a serial killer. His victims? Those who have committed murder. The character claims to feel no emotion and chooses to fake normal human emotions and reactions to get by. As the series progresses' however' Dexter himself shows himself to be a emotionally crippled man who strives to suppress his emotions. He is almost a complete success. Almost.

I love this show! I simply cannot get enough of it. I have been a follower of every season and when the season ends I literally am on pins and needles until the next season comes out. A lot of people don't know this series is based on a book. Usually' TV shows/movies based on books don't stand up to the book' in my opinion this show far surpasses the book. The actor in this show plays Dexter Morgan perfectly. Not many actors could have made a serial killer actually likable' but somehow he manages to do it flawlessly!

This show is so disturbingly perfect and enticing! I love it so much. After all who couldn't love a serial killer who only kills murderers! the cast is fresh and good! I loved 6 feet under but in Dexter it was great to see him in a dark role but a new role. The cases are similar to CSI and other cop shows' but this takes it five million steps further :) I love that it is a showtime show because it isn't censored as much as basic cable. it's allowed to be darker and sexier. Such a great show! Most of my friends love it to pieces...we all love dexter!

I LOVE this series! It's so hard to find an interesting concept for a drama' and this one totally is. Dexter is great as a tortured man doing the right thing for the right reasons even if it is wrong. He has more than one side' and is not just a killer. It's fascinating to watch him grow and develop. I got hooked on this show when they showed it on regular TV during the writes strike and I loved it so much that I had to go and buy as many seasons as I could.

The first season of Dexter is virtually flawless. The characters are compelling and multi-dimensional' the plot twists and turns beautifully; my only complaints are some of the cheesy flashback sequences to Dexter's youth' especially when he hits his early 20s and they start using Michael C. Hall with a mop wig to play young Dexter.
