Darkly Dreaming of Dexter

dexter

My New Favourite Show (MNFS) is the horrific, yet strangely amusing and intriguing, Dexter. Is it wrong to like a serial killer? You’re supposed to like the guy, but have this uneasiness constantly lurking while you watch the show over the fact that this is a “bad guy” pitched as a “good guy”. Or perhaps a “good guy” doing both good and bad things. It’s also an example of why American TV series should be 12 episodes, not 24, because there’s no padding.

This is a DVD buy, unless you have Pay TV – this is not a show that will ever get shown on Australian free-to-air TV unless it gets… well, cut to pieces. It has a killer title sequence as well. Ha! See what I did there?

    My aim is to convert as many people as I can to Dexter :) But it will never replace Lost…

    I have a killer pitch for you.

    Seriously.

    Think of the last thing you’d imagine I’d be developing and you’d be just about there. The line of thought started at:

    Is there anything a prospective victim of premeditated murder can say to save their own life?

    … and it’s ended up in some weird ass 6 episode series of strange disturbingness.

    Apparently it’s quite Dexter (though I need to do some serious sofa research)
