Dexter Reviews

This show is like a breath of fresh air - there's nothing else like it on television. The rpemise, of course, is over the top: a forensics expert who specializes in blood spatter, is also a serial killer who targets bad guys. Basically, we're asked to believe that the title character, Dexter, has been trained by an understanding adoptive father, to channel his urge to kill in a somewhat productive way: by tracking down violent criminals who have managed to evade capture, and brandishing his own brand of justice.
