I love Dexter. Not just the show, but the character. Now, I am not saying that this is right. And I don’t glorify serial killers. But if you had to choose one, Dexter is my man. Sometimes while watching the show I wonder if I should be laughing so hard, or relating so much.

In season 4 you see him trying to fit into ‘normal’ life. Becoming part of a community. Even having to be on neighbourhood watch after a vandal starts making trouble. The lone wolf trying to fit in…and having no clue how to. Even on a rudimentary level.

Dexter’s awareness that he does not know how to be normal makes him a psychopath, not a sociopath. Which cannot be said for his nemesis, the Trinity Killer (John Lithgow), Dexter must navigate his many lives as serial killer,  analyst, father of three, husband, and brother, yet still come out of the finale alive, with his secret intact. Will he manage?

John Lithgow is excellent as the Trinity Killer and Keith Carradine returns as the FBI agent trying to track him down.

Based on novel of Jeff Lindsay. This show is brilliant, original and dazzling.

Dexter is on, Friday 10pm on FX.
