Great TV Shows: Dexter

DEXTER



Dexter is really fucking brilliant. He's a serial killer yeah but he only kills bad guys like murderers, paedophiles or gingers, especially gingers actually. Oh and really ugly babies. Don't act shocked. We've all seen one before. It has the potential to be really bobbins and all "oh this is morally ambiguous, you're rooting for a murderer" but it isn't bobbins at all. Far from it. Probably because Michael C Hall in the title roll is wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. Something else. Should there ever be an award for best on screen transformation from a repressed gay funeral director to a serial killer, he would win it easily. If they had cast David Caruso or Steve Guttenburg as Dexter it would be awful. In CSI: Miami Caruso touches his sunglasses approximately 746 times an episode. That's all well and good for solving murders but it leaves you no time to commit them. Anyway I'm rambling. I can't stress enough how good this show is. Start watching it now..... Although seeing as I'm the only person that's ever going to read this blog, I watch it already. Hooray for me.
