"If I had a heart , it would be breaking right now"



I've watched 3 or 4 episodes of "Dexter" and can already proclaim it the best show on Television right now. Or at least my favourite.

It is about Dexter, who works for the Miami police department as a forensic blood spatter specialist.

He's also a serial killer who lives by a code to only kill people who "deserve it"

So it's part CSI (only not fucking stupid and annoyingly flashy), part drama and part comedy (dark, dark comedy)

The character is often so like able, so NICE and smart and charming that it really makes for an interesting show as in one scene he's playing with his girlfriends kids and the next he's cutting up some guy tied to a table.

That is a great dynamic. I love it.

I also love seeing him transition from ruthless, taunting killer to "faking every human interaction ever" as a member of normal society.

Seriously, what a show. Of course it could start sucking balls, as I've not watched it all, but I highly doubt it.

And to think I walked past it so many times in Best Buy, always thinking it was some kind of stupid show about a doctor or something.

It's far better than that.

I'm betting either the producer will hack it, or it'll be cancelled for being too good.

Such is the only way TV seems to go these days.

"It's not cunty enough."
"Axe it."
