Dexter


Dexter


Based loosely on novels by author Jeff Lindsay, Dexter follows the life of Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall), a charismatic blood spatter analyst who works in the forensics at the Miami Metro Police Department. On the outside, Dexter seems like the perfect guy -- he has a sister, Debra (Jennifer Carpenter), that adores him and a steady girlfriend, Rita (Julie Benz), with two kids that look up to him. However, what they don't know is that Dexter moonlights as a serial killer, only he isn't your typical killer. Basing his life on the teachings of his foster father, Dexter only kills people who truly deserve it: he ensures that those who got away with horrible crimes will never kill again.

A wordy explanation of this show does not do it justice, you just have to see it to understand. This show is one of the best on television. I dumped cinemax to get showtime just so I can watch this show. I dont know how, but they actually get better every episode you watch. They started out really strong, and I was expecting it to go downhill over time, but it just keeps getting better. This last episode, #10, was simply incredible. The very best one yet. If you only have time for one show per week, it should be Dexter. It will blow your mind. Read more

I just dont have words to describe the show, it was so good that it made me find the book and read it. It turned out that the show is ten times better than the book. The book was boring, slow and nothing like the show, the show has more characters, which are more sophisticated and it really grabs you. Read more
