Show: Dexter
Network: Showtime
Still on Air: Yes
Seasons: Three (Fourth premiers in September)
Episodes I got through: All of them
Rating: 5/5
What I Loved: It would seem incredibly lazy to just put "everything", but that would accurately sum it up. I've already made my feelings for this show pretty clear on this blog since my Emmy picks nominated not only the show but Michael C. Hall as well. I don't know how I missed it for its first three seasons. Oh wait, no Showtime On Demand. Well, I've corrected that mistake now and I suggest you do the same. This show is delightfully humorous, witty, creepy, and most importantly downright entertaining. Rooting for a serial killer is oddly cathartic in a way which makes me kind of worried for my friends and family. But just like Dexter, if I ever snap and go on a killing spree, it will only be for great justice. Probably. Oh, and if you spotted the nerdy reference in the last sentence, you are officially invited to my next Lord of the Rings marathon. BYOL (longbottom leaf).
What I Hated: Not much. Well, I guess I have to find something, so I'll say that some of the other cast beyond Hall are kind of weak. I'm not especially fond of the actress who plays his sister (otherwise known as his wife in real life). Although I may be alone in that since she just won a Saturn Award. For what that's worth. Really, there's not much to complain about here, the show is awesome. I gave it five out of five, see. Watch it.
The Verdict: It's nice to finally do a Summer of Couch write-up on a show I was actually able to stomach. A welcome relief after sitting through the last two. Dexter has been officially added to my regular docket of shows for the Fall (and consequently will receive preferential coverage here, of course). Look forward to my next review, which will probably be back to me hating things. Because that's what I do.

I thought I was the negative one who hated everything.
