So Good! My Favorite Show on TV (as of 2011)

I don't really give the perfect 10/10 rating to a lot of titles unless they really blow me away. This blew me away and still continues to do so.

I am new to Dexter (only watched a couple seasons so far) and I didn't know what to expect when I first watched the show. I was hoping for something I could watch weekly on TV without worries at all. I decided to buy the show on DVD so I bought the first two seasons and wow.

In case you don't know what Dexter is, Dexter is about a Miami blood splatter analyst named Dexter Morgan (who is played by Michael C. Hall from Six Feet Under and Gamer). By day, he is, like I said already, a charming, funny and quite popular blood splatter analyst with the Miami Metro Police Department. At night, he's a serial killer murdering the criminals that got away.

He also hangs out with his girlfriend, Rita (played by Julie Benz from Rambo (2008) and that No Ordinary Family show) and her two kids, Astor and Cody. His only family is his sister Deb (played by Jennifer Carpenter from Quarantine) who works at the Miami Police Department like Dexter as a cop.

This show is fantastic! The acting all around is great! Michael C. Hall is phenomenal as Dexter. The way he portrays Dexter is the way any serial killer should be portrayed anywhere. The supporting actors are amazing as well. Jennifer Carpenter is great as foul mouthed Deb. Julie Benz is great as Rita making her a real 3 dimensional character. David Zayas and CS Lee (Zayas plays Batista and Lee plays Masuka)are great as well. They are great comic reliefs, especially CS Lee.

The narration in the show is also great! I've never heard a narration that great in my life! The way Michael C Hall delivers his lines during the narration is, at times funny and terrifying.

Each episode is really well written and keeps me attached the entire time. The dialogue is really good and seems like these are normal people having a normal discussion and it's not unrealistic at all!

I think the only flaw I have with this is the beginning of season 2. It's really slow in the beginning but it picks up very quickly which I loved.

Overall, there is nothing I can say that I haven't said already. The show is really dark, funny and addictive! I hope the next seasons are just as good or even better!

score 10/10
