I have got it reeeeaaaallllly bad. I am crushin' again. I always seem to pick the wrong guys. Bad habit of mine, deadbeats, drunks and well this time I hit the motherload. My newest crush is a serial killer. Albeit a fictional one. No, I am not one of those crazies that writes to convicted killers in prison in the hopes of catching their eye, with the possibility of marriage. EWWWW. My crush is on my newest TV boyfriend Dexter. Smart, good looking, charming and yeah, just a little bit deadly. But I can over look that little fault. I mean no one is perfect and he only kills bad guys.

You can watch the entire first season. This is not for the faint of heart of weak stomached as some of the content is pretty out there. But if you are slightly twisted....in a good way...you might just like it. I truly believe it is the most daring show out there at this moment. Michael C. Hall, who previously starred in Six Feet Under stars in the leading role of Dexter and it is quite an outing for him. He perfectly portrays an emotionless deviant struggling to convince the rest of society that he is normal. All the while going about his bloody hobbies in his free time. He works for the Miami Police during the day as a blood spatter expert and well at night, well you know.

I would also recommend the books the show is based on. Darkly Dreaming Dexter and Dearly Devoted Dexter written by Jeff Lindsay. I did not read the books before beginning the show but have since picked them up and found them to be an easy and funny read. Yeah, I am in the category of slightly twisted cause I find myself giggling at the most inappropriate moments, but I really can't help myself and that is the genius behind it. You find yourself amused by what would generally be found offensive. For that I would call the books and the show brilliant. We have all seen the the serial killer theme done to death. I did not think it likely that someone could breathe life in the genre....I was wrong.

5 out of 5 bloody thumbs up for Dexter. My new TV boyfriend.
