Dexter

Finally, I have started watching Dexter. It's a show that's always interested me- I loved Michael C Hall as David in the sublime Six Feet Under, and Dexter's high-concept premise is intriguing. A secret serial killer works with the police, killing killers along the way.
A bout of illness has provided me with ample time to sit in front of the tv, catching up on all the shows I watch, as well as starting on others I've been hoping to watch. With four seasons to catch up on, I finally took the plunge on Dexter. And wow, was it worth it.
I watched all of season one within 24 hours. A great mix of characters and dynamics, a well thought-out back story and a compelling, unpredictable main plot with plenty of twists and turns- some you may guess, some you won't.
The plot line of the Ice Truck Killer's connections to Dexter was one that played out plausibly, the end result proving hugely satisfying, particularly Dexter's final dilemma.
Obviously I had no idea which characters would make it into future seasons, and it was a good sign when I found myself worrying about the likes of Debra and Angel.
After a short break to catch up on some other shows, I'm back into the show and onto season two, loving that the story arc is the hunt for The Bay Harbor Butcher- Dexter himself.
I'm now halfway through, about to start episode 7 (of 12) and there is one theory I'm interested to put out there- is Harry Dexter's actual father?
