Dexter played by Michael C. Hall (Six Feet Under) is unlike anything else on TV right now.  While most murder solving shows can solve the crime in one full episode (45 minutes); Dexter follows one serial murderer for the whole season giving more to the viewer. With a different twist on the show, you can easily find yourself addicted to this show within the very first couple of episodes.

 

Dexter Morgan not only works for the Miami Metro but he also has some unique hobbies of his own.  While trying to balance his time between being a full time employee, he also juggles his peersonal life and the life he trys to live to look normal.  This season follows the killings of the Ice Truck Killer who leaves the victims neatly placed in unique spots.  The team at Miami Metro (including Dexter) is full of great characters that easy to like. Also placed at Miami Metro is Dexter's sister Deborah Morgan played by Jennifer Carpenter (Quarintine) who is an up an coming police officer trying to learn the ropes of the system.

 

Dexter is easily one of the best TV shows out there right now, however, it is seen on Showtime so (personally) I can only see season by season instead of episode of episode. This show at times can get pretty bloody and violent so it may not be for the weak stomached person.  My only problem with this show is how ridiculous some of the language can get. Swearing doesn't bother me at all but when its overdone like this show does (and it does often) it hurts the rest of the show. Other than that I find nothing wrong with this show and hope everyone enjoys it as much as I do.
