You Should Get to Know: Dexter



Lion


You Should Get to Know is an ongoing segment which suggests something you should really freaking get to know.

Disclosure: If you watch Dexter, please be aware you WILL be rooting for a serial killer. You will be smiling as he cuts up screaming people into tiny pieces. Don't consider me liable for sinister thoughts that may arise from this television program.

Within the past two months, I have become obsessively hooked to the Showtime series Dexter. As late as I may be, I have made up for my tardiness by feverishly watching two seasons worth of episodes in a matter of 2 weeks (about 24 episodes, 1 hour each). (Wow. One day's worth. I didn't realize how pathetic that is until it was typed.)

As I prepare to start season 3, I strongly recommend renting the DVDs or watching it online. Michael C. Hall plays his character perfectly. Dexter is a blood splatter analyst for Miami homicide. Haunted by a traumatic past and his urges to kill, Dexter secretly kills "bad guys" only. This can lead to Dexter having to deal with his own crime scenes on the job (which leads to some awesome manipulations on his part) and Dexter having to lie to those "loved" ones around him. Even though Dexter is self-proclaimed to have no feeling, he puts on an amazing facade to those around him.

Although Michael C. Hall was recently diagnosed with cancer, the disease is in remission and he is looking to make a full recovery. Thank God, because how am I supposed to spend my pathetic life if I can't watch Dexter?

P.S. Conan may have some sinister thoughts of his own after Jay Leno took his life away:
