Now, you might say that it’s simply a matter of the Dexter discs being extremely popular. They get a lot of wear and tear, and are more likely to suffer the scratches that stop a DVD in its tracks. But … a small part of me wonders, is there a Netflix curse when it comes to Dexter?
Ever feel any guilt for liking Dexter? Here’s a show where the hero kills, and quite often. Why do we root for Dexter Morgan?
It makes sense, then, that the show’s official Showtime Web site would be a bit dark, too. For instance, the site has a series of Dexter-inspired games. Among them is the body bag toss.
But last night’s episode, “About Last Night,” changed all that. This was one powerful episode, easily the most intriguing of this season. I won’t spoil too much. But if you haven’t yet watched, the odds are high you’ll come away with a whole new appreciation of Jimmy Smits’ character.
Yes, we all love Showtime’s Dexter. But the character of Dexter Morgan had his fans long before Showtime decided to air a television series about him.
But if I wasn’t watching Dexter, what would I tune in to? Glad you asked. Here are the very few shows that I think are actually better than the adventures of America’s favorite serial killer.
Sometimes I wonder if Showtime’s Dexter wouldn’t benefit from this same kind of planning. Sometimes, while watching Season 3, I wonder if the show hasn’t already lost some of its spark.
So, it shouldn’t be any surprise that so many of us like Dexter the character, not just Dexter the TV show.
Yet, when the season had come to a close, very little in Dexter’s life had really changed. He had Rita back. He no longer had to worry about being tagged as Miami’s busiest serial killer. He even got his apartment back to himself once his sister moved out. All those episodes. All that drama. All that intrigue. But what was it for? |
