Dexter

[Tom]

Has anyone seen this show? It's on Showtime I believe.

In short: It's about a serial killer who doubles as a forensic scientist, specializing in blood spatter (he loves blood, disembowelment is his MO). The setting is Miami and the first season so far has been about Dexter coming across another serial killer who may be better than he is, and this subsequentally begins a cat and mouse killing game between the two.

The catch here is that Dexter's dad, a respected police officer, realized his sociopathic and psychotic tendencies at a young age and taught him a code of ethics for him to follow. Following that code Dexter kills exclusively other serial killers to subdue his urges to murder. And because he's a serial killer himself and has no real emotions he can see past their false emotions and spot them, catching the ones that are above the law or that fall through the cracks of the justice system.

I've only just seen the first episode, but I have the rest of the first season on my HDD. All indications point to fucking fantastic show. Michael C. Hall is absolutely amazing as Dexter.

I wish I was a serial killer too.
