Dexter - Why You NEED To Watch It
Instructed (several times) by G-Chan (whose awesome blog you may access through my Blogs You Wanna Read link list), I finally got over my House M.D fanaticism and started downloading Dexter.
I was HOOKED.
I just finished the first season today and I have 3 episodes from the second season downloaded; this is like House M.D-meets-Red Dragon-meets-CSI-meets-(Insert name of your favorite pyscho serial killer movie here). Michael C. Hall's performance as the moonlighting serial killer is a chillingly honest one...And it's one of the few performances where one truly feels for a character even though the character cannot feel anything. In a sense, the fact that Dexter cannot even handle emotion is of much bigger magnitude than the fact that he cannot feel it.
How in the world can someone portray something that complex and bring it to life is beyond me but it obviously takes a lot of talent (something that Hall is not really short of). Jennifer Carpenter (who I remember only from The Exorcism of Emily Rose) is stunning on Dexter. As Deborah Morgan, she performs every scene with grace, emotion and power.
This is a great, great series and I recommend it to anyone. Currently watching the first episode of the second season so I gotta run!
Cheers,

Haha! Welcome to the club =P
Season 2 was just alright with me. I actually ended up hating Dexter's character. But it made since later on =P
Season 4 is gonna slap you on the face (my fav) and Debora is just AWESOME!! She was in Quarantine btw.
Enjoy and update us about it =D
Yeah, a friend of mine told me the same thing about Season 4; makes me want to rush my way through 2 and 3 =D
I never watched Quarantine; sounds like a pretty good movie!
I watched up to season 3 and stopped... It wasn't as interesting anymore...
@Stimulus: Well that's a shame, it looks so interesting on the second one...*sigh* I guess I'll just keep watching and see how it turns out with me =D
