So this is probably the best television show I've seen in a couple of decades and was wondering if anyone out there has enjoyed it as much as me.
When I first read the premise I was not excited in the least. Basically, a serial killer is working as a blood spatter expert for the Miami PD. He helps solves crimes but has been trained by his father to control the "monster within" by killing killers who fall through the cracks - thus satisfying his monster but doing the world a favor by killing those who will kill again.
Sounds like Silence of the Lambs meets C.S.I. And I'm not a huge fan of either one - don't hate them but don't love them like some.
Yet Dexter surprised me by going well beyond the Cartoonish Lambs and not being so insufferably repetitive like C.S.I.
