I know this isn't exactly the ideal place to write about a TV-series, but I don't have anywhere else to turn and I really need to get something off my chest. Dexter is a show that airs on Showtime (the channel), it currently has 4 seasons and the 5th season begins in September. It is an amazing show I think everyone who gives it a chance will absolutely fall in love with.

The plot centers around Dexter Morgan, a serial killer who works as a blood-spatter anayzer for the police (ironic I know). I will try not to spoil too much of the show because I hate spoilers and I reccomend everyone to try not to be tempted to chech wikipedia for what's gonna happen next. Anyway, the show is built up by great characters, most of which have their own storyline as well. The great thing about these characters is that you really connect with them. Even though Dexter kills people (only bad people, though), he is really likeable and you start rooting for him. Dexter is not only the good character, the whole cast is super well put together by great actors, and the writing is outstanding. Debra, Dexter's sister also works for the police in the same department as him (she works homicide though) and she along with Angel Batista, Maria LaGuerta, Vince Masuka solves murders. The fun thing is that (minor spoiler alert) in season two they find the bodies Dexter killed and now they're suddenly hunting him even though they have no idea who he is.

I wanna give a quick review of each individual season to kinda give my opinion of them separately.

Season one is important because if season one doesn't hold up, people won't watch the show anymore, but it does and it is fantastic. The first couple of episodes introduce you to the characters and the overall premise of the show. It is pretty much superb thoughout with almost every episode having you at the edge of your seat just waiting in anticipation for what's gonna happen next. There are also some really awesome revelations to be had in the later episodes.

Season two starts off with a bang, with dexter's bodies being found underwater (where he dumped them) and suddenly they're hunting a man that's right in front of their noses. There is a whole subplot with Rita (his girlfriend) dumping Dexter because he cheated on her, which honestly doesn't get very interesting until the final episodes. I would say this is pretty much on par with season one.

Season 3 was to me a little disappointing because Dexter meets this character Miguel who eventually becomes his friend, and it's not as intens or exciting as the previous two seasons by far. In this season there really isn't a main serial killer, well ok there is, but it has nothing to do with Dexter so I didn't really care for it much. It felt like something made sorely so the police would have something to do, which is a shame because the was a lot of potential. I was a little bit disappointed with season 3, not because it was bad or anything, but because it didn't pull me in the way season one and two did.

When season 4 came out, I didn't really know what to expect since the previous season was a slight disappointment, but season 4 is in my opinion the best season yet. Dexter now has a baby and he's married to Rita. He struggles to keep his urges to kill pleased while also keeping Rita and the baby happy. This is the season where e kills the least amount of people, which sounds bad, but he develops a bond with this other serial killed called the Trinity Killed who is an old man named Arthur Mitchell (played by John Lithgow). John Lithgow's performance is just amazing, and by the end of the season his true self is finally revealed.

Season 5 will resume in september and it will probably be very different from the others because of one HUGE plot twist at the end of season 4. It will blow your mind.
