We <3 Dexter
Mar. 11th, 2008 05:31 pmMy plan to watch Dexter in between BSG episodes, er, didn't work out so well. Having hit the doldrums of BSG Season Three, I seem to have spent all last Monday mainlining the last third of Dexter's first season. Whoops. It's just taken me this long to finish writing it up. (Damn work and classes ...)
For anyone who has somehow not heard the buzz, the show is about Dexter Morgan, a guy who works forensics for the Miami PD. He has a wonderful, foul-mouthed foster sister who's a cop. He has a lovely girlfriend who is recovering from domestic violence, and the girlfriend has two children who adore him. He tries his best to be a good brother and boyfriend, while dealing with his own intimacy issues. And at night, Dexter goes out killing people and cutting them up. But it's OK! Because they're bad people!
... except things are not that simple, at least not in this gloriously complex show.
Below is some spoilery reflection on Season One. If you spoil me for Season Two in any way, the code of Harry may save you from Dexter, but it will not save you from me.
