Dexter earns Golden Globe nomination

Posted by dexterfan

It’s long deserved it — since its excellent first season, in fact — but Dexter has finally received a Golden Globe nomination.

Dexter has been nominated in the Best Television Show — Drama category. To this I ask, “What took so long?” Dexter should have been nominated for its excellent first season, too.

The competition in this category is, well, rather odd. There is the excellent Mad Men, which will probably win, and the strong but underrated In Treatment. But then there’s the vastly overrated House and the rather bland vampire drama True Blood. I’m surprised that these two shows earned nominations. I’ve never been overly fond of House, especially. I know Hugh Laurie does an amazing job as the title character. But the character of House never really changes. Nothing ever really advances in this show. It’s a disease-of-the-week show, and that’s pretty old-fashioned, actually.

Dexter fans should also be happy that Michael C. Hall, Dexter himself, has been nominated for Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series — Drama. He might actually win, though his competition is tough.
