My friend DB gets HBO and Showtime. For years now he’s been telling me that Showtime's Dexter is a great show.
I put Dexter on my Netflix list and the first discs have arrived.
This week the roomie and I started watching it.
It’s awesome. The writing is very crisp and dry – in a very weird funny way. Even the opening credits are funny – if you pay attention. By the way – that’s a blood orange that gets cut open.
The story lines, characters, music, camera work, creativity and writing are just simply excellent.
To have come up with such an offbeat show – the creators / writers obviously could use some psychiatric help.
This kind of sums it up - While watching the third episode - Here’s the verbatim exchange between Nuke and myself:
Nuke (grinning): “You really like this show don’t you?”
Me: “Oh yeah!”
Nuke (laughing): “I knew you were a sick fucker.”
LOL

Mami loves Dexter too. We watch it on Fox Crime (yes, that's a cable channel) in Japan.
Glad you like it. It's interesting to listen to his thoughts as he struggles to act normal by mimicking the emotions of others. DB
