So lately I've not been getting my money's worth out of my Netflix subscription. I had two movies each for a month a piece and haven't really taken advantage of the Instant Queue feature, even though there is a Wii and an XBOX 360 with live in the house. I was thinking about just giving up and cancelling the subscription, until two people told me to watch the same show.
We added Dexter to our instant queue...and are now taking full advantage of that $9.99 subscription.
Oh and...MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS!!!
Dexter is a blood spatter analyst in the forensics department for the Miami PD by day...and a serial killer by night. But as Dexter states, "Everyone needs a hobby."
Dexter is a very interesting character. In season one, he's almost completely void of all feelings and goes through life playing the "game." He fakes various forms of human emotion as he encounters them. Certain individuals fall for his charade, namely, his girlfriend Rita, and others just don't, like Sargent Doakes. Sargent Doakes is certainly aware that something is a bit off about Dexter, and he is determined to discover all of his dark secrets.
Dexter by day plays his facade by occasionally taking donuts to his girlfriend Rita's home in the morning for her, and her two children, helping her ready the kids for school, and then he himself goes to work. He will often take donuts to work and deliver them to people throughout his office making small talk on the way, thus acting completely normal. He does his job, and he does his job very well. At each crime scene you can always expect Sargent Doakes to walk by Dexter with some snide remark, some of the best include, "Lab geek, my ass" and "You give me the creeps you (insert Doakes's colorful choice of words here) psycho." Also, to keep his sense of normality and his facade in place, Dexter also holds a weekly spot in a bowling league (which he is quite good at, actually) with a few of his co workers. Dexter always then spends time with Rita and her children before (or occasionally) his" night shift" comes into play.
At night, as Dexter states, "the monster appears." Dexter will tranquilize his victims (which are all people who have murdered someone else) with a needle to the neck. Once sedated, he hoists the victem up on a table and holds them to the table with lots of cling wrap, which he also has covering every single solitary thing in the room. He makes a cut down the victim's cheek, uses the blood and puts it on slides to keep as a trophy of sorts and then proceeds to kill the victim, after of course telling them the truth- who he is, why he's killing them, and he will even keep various things (pictures, bodies...) from the victim's earlier killings to remind them of what they have done. Once he's done, he dismembers the body, and puts the various pieces in a trash bag. He ties the trash bag up, and weighs them down with rocks. To dispose of said bodies, he takes his boat out into the middle of the water, and tosses them over board, never to be seen again (or so he thinks).
That is all I have for now. I don't want to go too in depth and give away too much. Perhaps once I finish season 3, I will go into detail on season 2 as this post primarily was in regards to season 1.
Stay tuned! :)
