Dexter

We'll start with Dexter because it comes on on Sunday and today is Sunday. Logic. I didn't start watching Dexter when it first aired, but I think I watched the first three seasons in less than three days. Dexter is, of course, about a serial killer that murders murderers. But what I like about it, particularly in comparison to the other tv dramas I've seen, is that it surprises me. I'm not saying that I've never seen anything coming in this show, but there are times when you think you know where things are going and they go somewhere else entirely. I love that.

Dexter has a fun pattern of the even-numbered seasons being much more exciting than the odd-numbered seasons, which is why it's a bit eh this year (Season 5). It feels like something's brewing for sure, but with the midpoint of the season airing today, it seems like there should be more up-front conflict. Season two was my favorite, though. The whole thing was very edge-of-your-seat.

Fun fact: even though there isn't anyone I really hate in the characters, there isn't anyone that I would really miss if they died (excluding the baby, but I doubt they'd go there).
