People who know me, know that I love watching television and when I cannot watch a certain show (due to timings or because it comes on pay tv), I go out and try and buy the seasons on DVD. Recently I came across a new American show called Dexter. The show is based on the novel Darkly Dreaming Dexter, and revolves around the life of Dexter Morgan (played by Michael C. Hall), a forensic blood spatter pattern analyst for the Miami Police Department, who is actually a serial killer who tracks down and kills people “who deserve it” (mainly killers who have avoided justice).
While the show does have more than its fair share of blood, its actually quite a fascinating watch and its intriguing to see how the cast make a serial killer ‘likable’.
While the show has finished its second season in the states and has been scheduled for a third later this year, we in Australia have only received the first season on DVD, and even though I am only halfway through it, I have already put it on my ‘must keep an eye out for future seasons’ list (still working on a better name for the list though).
Check out the showtime fan wiki as well for more info.
