Dexter
The New York Daily Post is reporting today that CBS will fill up some airtime with Dexter. This show features a sociopathic serial killing blood analysis tech who kills other serial killers. I love it!! He’s a good serial killer. The show is actually really interesting if you like that kind of thing. He’s not completely sociopathic - though I don’t know if there are degrees to that sort of thing. I’m surprised CBS is going to play it…it’s like having The Sopranos on a network.
Dexter is played by Michael C. Hall, and CBS will air the entire first season starting on February 17. One episode per Sunday. CBS hopes this will help retain viewers during the WGA strike. Dexter will have to be edited down for language and time. It usually runs a full hour on Showtime but will be cut to about 48 minutes, which is still five minutes longer than the average network crime drama.
Here’s a YouTube from Dexter, in which he explains his attitude towards his “work.”
Here’s another. I don’t like the tone or music of this video, but it does give a little rundown of Dexter’s jobs. Skip if you want to be surprised by season one.
