I'm finding this series very average. While it's keeping me watching, it's just so not that original. The start was so uninspiring that I gave up after episode 5 but just yesterday have gotten back into it and am hoeing through the rest. I have to say the 2nd half of season 1 is much better, it's good to see the actors breaking into their characters better. Especially Rita. God love her. Except I hate that black cop and his "fuck you!!" rationale. I'm hoping he kills someone innocent so Dexter can off him.
I also don't like Dexter's dad and those stupid flashbacks. I know it's not real but I hate how they use a teen actor who looks NOTHING like Michael C. Hall. They may as well have hired a Bollywood dancer for this part. The young Dexter has a dozen large moles on his face, and a huge nose like he's in Roxeanne or something. Anyway the father annoys the frack out of me, must just be beef with the actor who plays him.
Anyway, was uber obvious who the ice truck killer was. I mean oh my God, come on. Give us credit. You don't just pop a character in and make him suddenly important and then in the "previously on..." segment have him say a reall unimportant line. That just gave it away for me. Before that I thought it might be the female chief who has a thing for Dexter.
Anyway I'm enjoying it, have ep 1 & 2 of Season 2 taped from last week... Shall be finished soon.
Yay.
