Dexter Keeps Serving Up Killer TV

Guest post from: Jeromy Haney

Dexter may very well be the most consistent show on television. While others have suffered from lackluster seasons here and there, America's favorite serial killer continues to turn in year after year of killer (pun intended) direct TV satellite packages. Whether its watching Michael C. Hall help Julia Style's tortured character Lumin come to terms with her agonies or gleefully chuckling while John Lithgow chews the scenery, switching the satellite tv over to Showtime and indulging in Dexter's activities is now my favorite pastime.

The Miami-set show is brimming with characters who were interesting during the first season but now feel like family. Jennifer Carpenter plays Dexter's sister Debra, and steals every scene she shows up in. Her love life is one of the show's most entertaining facets, as she frequently ends up in relationships that are destined to reach a bad end.

Season four ended with one of the most shocking finales in television history, and I doubted that the writers could ever top it. I was happily proved wrong as soon as season five got into full swing. It proved as entertaining as every other season since the show's beginning.

With Dexter confirmed for a sixth season, I'm already looking forward to seeing what the future holds for Dex and the rest of the stellar cast.
