Dexter Review

This has to be my favorite show on television right now (June 14, 2011).  The next season will be the sixth of Showtime's adaption of the books by Jeff Lindsay.  Michael C. Hall (bad guy from Gamer) has the star role as Dexter.  Dexter is a blood spatter analyst in the police department of Miami, Florida.  He had an unusual childhood where he would kill things such as animals.  He later hungers for more as an adult.  With the help of his step dad he learns to control his cravings by killing humans that deserve it.  He is only training Dexter with tips and advice which are known as The Code.  Dexter develops his own techniques on his own by following The Code.  His victims are usually people that have killed other innocent people.  This helps him deal with what he calls is his Dark Passenger.  Dexter also seems to have no feelings (it is found out why later in the show)  Thanks to his job in the Miami Police Department; he can gather data on criminals and be sure of his that his future victims are true criminals.  Dexter can also cover his mistakes, if he has any, by tampering with blood evidence to go in his favor.  Their is a lot more to this show; like how he manages his relationship with Rita (mom from No Ordinary Family), visions of his past, and much more (I don't want to spoil the show).  I would highly recommend this show to anyone who would like to see a darker version of CSI.  Because after all, Dexter is a good guy that kills the bad guys.  From the season's that have been released so far, I would say that the order from best to worst is: season 4, season 1, season 2, season 5, season 3.  Once you read this and decide to witness this show for yourself be sure you watch it from the beginning.  I did say this is my favorite show so; 100%
