Don't get me wrong I still like Dexter, but there is always this little bit in the back of my mind saying, "don't like him too much, he is a serial killer!" Maybe it is just that he is a serial killer or maybe it's the way he cleans them up and wraps them up in cellophane before doing them in that makes it more difficult to continue to want good things for him.
Season one of this Showtime drama was very good. What made it especially good is what makes me think that the next few seasons won't be able to compare. Not only was there a fantastic mystery throughout the 12 episodes, but this first season also played as a origins story for our man Dexter. While he continued to help his sister Deb and the rest of the Miami Police Department find the Ice Truck Killer, he was also figuring out who his real family was and where he actually came from (helping both Dexter and the audience figure out why he turned out the way he is). Unless they figure out a story as interesting as Dexter's origin to coincide with season two's mystery, I expect it to not live up to the first season's glory.
Other Thoughts
-Dexter sounds a lot like Danny McCoy (Josh Duhamel) so that is definitely a positive.
-LOST's Jacob shows up midway through the season and totally ruined his mystical value on The Island drama.
-Dexter's ridiculously weird character makes the show interesting by itself. All of his different little quirks keep you guessing as to what he is all about.
-I'm not sure what characters on this show I really like. Maybe that's why I don't rate it as one of my favorites after 12 eps. I don't like Deb, Rita, Doakes or Laguerta so that's never a good sign.
-Biney definitely creeped me out from the beginning. What was Deb thinking?
