I’m sure I’ve mentioned this before, but Dexter is a wonderful show! I finished season 1 in a matter of days, as I do with most shows I get hooked on - and happen to have on DVD.

Season two just ended, I believe, and I made the mistake to watch a behind-the-scenes interview with some of the characters and writers. They clearly warned me: Don’t watch unless you’ve seen the [season 2] finale.” I hadn’t. But I was curious. I didn’t realize that season two’s finale had aired already and that they were going to completely dissect the second season. Now I know what happens!

The show is losing a character and that’s sad. Sure he drove me nuts, but he was a key player. Of course, if you’ve seen the pilot episode, there’s a dead give away that these two are going to bump heads, which they’ve done many times already, and eventually and almost inevitably, one would have to leave the show. Obviously, they can’t lose Dexter or the show wouldn’t be Dexter anymore.

Some people might think knowing this information might stop me from watching the second season, which I just finished downloading. It sure won’t! The experience is not ruined! What’s nice about the show is that the storyline is continuous and they spend 11 or 12 episodes trying to figure out only a handful, if that, of cases. You don’t tangled in a web of stories like you would in Lost. I’m not saying Lost is a bad show…but you can’t really start watching season 3 without having seen the first two. I started watching season 2 of Dexter before 1 and was okay.

Plus, it helps that the stories revolve around serial killers, forensics, mystery, etc. Just my cup of tea!

If you’re tired of all the reruns due to the writer’s strike, it might not hurt to check out Dexter.
