Dexter Morgan, “The only real question I have is why in a building full of cops, all supposedly with a keen insight to the human soul, is Doakes the only one who gets the creep from me.“

I almost forgot about Dexter. How could I almost forget about Dexter? This show is bloody, bloody awesome!

Dexter (the other Dexter) is a forensic blood spatter analyst for the Miami Dade Police. He is a supportive brother and a loving boyfriend by day and a serial killer by night. His late foster father, a cop too, found out about his thirst for murder when he was a teenager. He trained Dexter how to cover his tracks and to kill only criminals who had escaped justice.

When Dexter was a toddler, he and his brother witnessed a gruesome crime against their mother and some other people. They were trapped inside a storage container for two days in a pool of blood. Both Dexter and Brian (his older brother) suffered irreparable psychological damage.

This show is based on Jeff Lindsay’s series of novels Darkly Dreaming Dexter, Dearly Devoted Dexter and Dexter in the Dark.

At first I thought it was boring, but when I really get to watch it…damn it’s gruesome and creepy! What caught my attention was Dexter being a blood spatter expert and a serial killer, talk about original.

Can’t wait for season 2. It premiers September 30, 2007.
