Again, another serial killer themed work. When done properly, it can be a very engrossing topic.
Dexter, although not terribly realistic in many cases, is still very entertaining. It's nice to think someone could channel such a horrible drive into something so...productive. As long as you can suspend disbelief on the whole anti-hero thing (as if someone that fracked up wouldn't self-destruct in a cloud of blood and bullets one day), it's well worth the time. Keep in mind it's a series, so it may take a while to see it all.
4 out of 5 stars
Plot Summary:
Playing a sympathetic serial killer might sound like a stretch, but former "Six Feet Under" star Michael C. Hall pulls it off in this macabre drama about a likable forensics expert who channels his violent tendencies into knocking off miscreants. Dexter Morgan (Hall) seems so harmless, in fact, that neither his girlfriend (Julie Benz) nor his cop sister (Jennifer Carpenter) suspect the true nature of his extracurricular activities.
