Dexter (Season 3)

Two posts in one night. I've never been this productive before. Although when this level of production can be produced from the comfort of my bed I guess it's not that much of an achievement. What is an achievement though is the many faces Micheal C Hall has for looking deep in malevolent thought. I swear he puts a new spin on it every episode. He is though the best part of Dexter. The overall story arcs have been good on the whole, season one he meets his match, season two he almost gets found out, season three he makes a friend (or does he?). This is pretty much where the good stuff ends. Luckily Sgt. James Dokes didn't make it into season three. Which is good. Because he was terrible. He looked like someone who got killed around about half-way through a film like Predator. Not in relation to a certain actor, I mean he looks a b-movie actor. Someone who just says "sheeeeiiiiiit" a lot. Like Clay Davis. If you get that reference you get 10 points. Anyway, another terrible part is his sister. I like the writing in the show, not necessarily the dialogue but the stories are good. Apart from the fact there seems to be some kind of necessity to get Dexter's sister (and real life wife, a strange choice) laid and fall in love. Every time. Why? Just have an extra 10 minutes an episode of murders? Or maybe have some Tarantino style dialogue about nothing. About burgers. I don't know. I study animals. To boil down my points here, it's a good show. Although if you're like me you may end up hating all the other characters as they are just plain sterotypes. As opposed to the complex character of Dexter who is fantastic. Although are we just seeing the characters the way Dexter wants us to? As simple charactures that are mere pawns in his life of murder? No probably not. But still, great fun and well worth picking up the first three seasons if you think there's more to Miami than CSI. Or Miami Vice. Jesus, let's hope there's more to anything than Miami Vice.
