I don't know how anyone can think this show is bad. I have seen the whole show now and I think it's amazing. So when i discovered there were even bad reviews i couldn't believe what i saw. Did they even watched the same show I did? And I read something about Dexter being a sociopath, that's also just completely rubbish. For people who only watched the first season or just a couple of episodes of that season might think that but if you watch the whole show then you would know that isn't true at all or otherwise you don't know what the word sociopath means. He's a psychopath but if anyone saw his/her mother get murdered in front of him/her then i think that some other people would completely snap too. And for people who complain every time there is some violence in a show, just don't watch crime series. And it's just a show, it's not reality, so don't even start by saying that it says something about a person if they like this show.
Anyway, back to "Dexter". I think this is a show that has a great concept that has never been used before. That's probably one of the reasons that this show made it to be so big. An other reason is that Michael C. Hall is a one of the best actors in the world, and he's also the perfect man to play Dexter Morgan. It's also a lot different from a lot of other crime series and that's a very good thing. Things like CSI or NCIS are complete garbage if you ask me. But Dexter is the opposite. It's inventive, has a great story, has also some funny moments and it's just not always the same thing like the most other crime series.
I have to say i liked season 1,2 and 7 the most. Season 1 was just the best with Dexter's brother as the Ice-Truck Killer and season 2 with sergeant Doakes constantly on his ass. Season 7 i just liked because there are so much aspects in this season that make it good. First you have the Ukrainian mob, then you have the poisoner Hannah McKay who falls in love with Dexter and then you have also LaGuerta who still investigates the Bay Harbor Butcher case. It has enough ingredients to make it one of the best seasons of Dexter.
So if you want to see a show that is interesting, innovative, funny and smart, you have to see this show!
And if you don't like any violence in a show or just crime series , then just don't see them and don't review them. If it would be a bad show, then it deserves to have bad reviews, but this show deserves none.
