Let’s hope Dexter doesn’t turn into Heroes

There was a time, during its fun first season, that Heroes ranked as one of my favorite shows on TV. That time, unfortunately, is long gone.

Today, the show is a confusing mess. Characters do stupid things. They don’t act like themselves. There’s nothing worse than watching a show and saying to yourself, “Hey, that doesn’t seem like something he’d do.”

Things have gotten so bad, that two writers from the show, Jesse Alexander and Jeph Loeb, were let go in early November. This is disappointing. After a humdrum second season, cut short because of the writer’s strike, I expected more from the third season. I didn’t get it.

I know this is a blog devoted to Dexter. But at the beginning of this third season, I began to have my own doubts about this show. I couldn’t quite figure out where Dexter was going this season. The show was becoming its own mess of normally smart characters doing some rather dumb things.

Last week, though, the show turned itself around in a big way. This gives me hope that we won’t be reading message boards clogged with former fans swearing off their favorite serial killer.
