I just recently got Showtime, and a few months ago I got Netflix. And boy do I regret not getting these earlier because I was missing Dexter. Dexter is one awesome show. If you’re not familiar with it, here’s the deal.
Dexter is a well written, well acted and well produced series that follows the day to day events of Dexter Morgan’s (played by Michael C. Hall) life, a forensic blood spatter analyst for the Miami Metro Police Department who also happens to be a serial killer, and a dad in his free time.
The story focuses on Dexter’s struggle with humanity after as a small child he watched his mother brutally murdered and hacked up with a chainsaw in front of his face–then spent two days in a bunker sitting in two inches of her blood. You see, Dexter is a serial killer that kills “bad people”. He was taught by his adoptive father, a decorated Police officer named Harry, to kill only those “who deserve it”. Dexter mainly kills other killers who have escaped the legal system or were never suspected in the first place. The series is all about him balancing an everyday life with his secret identity all while keeping up a facade of normalcy.
However, Dexter is a good dad. Like the rest of us, he does whatever he can for his little 3 month old son, Harrison. He sings to him from work, rocks him to sleep, sacrifices his own sleep but unlike us, he murders people to keep his son safe.
So if you haven’t seen Dexter yet, check it out on Netflix or on Demand or DVD – Dexter: Seasons 1-3
