The fall tv season is now almost over. There have been remarkable new shows, some disappointments (Heroes) and some continuation of standard quality (House MD). But the one show that does its thing only in the fall season, is the clear winner. Dexter killed them all dead.
For those unfamiliar with the show, Dexter Morgan (played by Michael C. Hall) is a blood spatter specialist working for the Miami police department. Not a job for the squeamish, and Dexter is anything but! He is also quite likable, even if slightly weird. What nobody suspects is that he's a methodical serial killer!
The show just delivered its second season finale, and I must say that I enjoyed it thoroughly. No episode, from first season premiere on, was below greatness but second season kept raising the bar and us at the edge of our seats. "Dexter"'s cast consists of talented actors but the strongest aspect of the show is the writing. Every plot point falls into place, the characters are consistent and the memorable lines are plenty. Maybe the fact that the show is based on a novel is the reason behind this. Whatever the case, the show has been a big success and a third season is ensured. Until then, you are advised to check on the first two for some bloody fun!
