I have been burning through the season of Dexter. I am almost caught up enough to watch along on cable I don’t have. Anyways, I think the main things about the show that caught my imagination, is the way the show make you relate to a sociopath. I in no way agree with eye for an eye justice. I don’t think people show kill other people, I guess the show make it a little bit better by making it an individual as opposed to the government acting in my name. It is also a deeply disturbed whom we are told would kill people anyways, so I guess he is trying the best he can to make a negative a positive. Whatever, I don’t care, nobody should kill anybody. I don’t know what we should do with criminals but the idea of punishment just seems petty.
I digress. What I like about it, particularly about the first season is how they make an anti-social monster very relatable. Again not the killing thing, the way he interacts with people and feels like he doesn’t have the right emotions for situation. The way he sort of just uses his relations to feel/seem normal, and the way that grows into him realizing he might be capable of real affection. I mean that is my life, that is every pop song I ever liked, and I can only assume is other people’s lives too. There is a better way of saying that, but basically it is a pretty good show.
