Dexter


One of the great things about the new world of complete seasons and series on DVD/Blu Ray/Netflix on demand is that it allows you to discover shows you may have missed. "Dexter" is the perfect example of this. The first two seasons are on Netflix instant and so one evening I decided to check out season 1 episode 1. You see I am weird, I can never start watching any show in the middle. I must start with Season 1 episode 1 and work my way up from there.

"Dexter" got me hooked right from the start, it is the quintessential guilty pleasure show about a serial killer vigilante with a heart of gold. But here's what is really interesting: Tasha and I don't usually enjoy the same shows, she doesn't care about Mad Men, True Blood, and a few others that I love. But recently she checked out Dexter and now she is hooked!! She is halfway through season 2, and has stayed up late on a few occasions to watch "just one more episode" very unusual for her!

Season 5 just ended last night, and being as how it is the most popular show on Showtime, it has been renewed for at least one more season. And Tasha and I can't wait!

Big guy-
They have filmed Dexter multiple times on my street and on Knob Hill. I have no idea what episode that was but they shoot in Redondo and the South Bay often.

I knew there was something creepy about Tasha....

Just kidding. We love Dexter, and have watched it from the very beginning. Every season so far has been so, so good.

What a coincidence! I was sitting last Saturday night with Renee and Steven Jacobs at the boat parade at the "Wind and Sea" and they were telling me what a great show "Dexter" was! After explaining the show to me, I decided this is my kind of show...I love the murder mystery stuff! We are definitely going to start viewing with the first season.
