I'm getting more into Dexter! I don't really love any of the characters yet, but I'm enjoying the show as a whole. I'm now up to the seventh episode, 'Circle of Friends'.
NB: as this show has been around for a while, I'm not being that strict on spoiler cuts (although I'll still cut major plot developments, e.g. significant character deaths or big twists). If you're planning to watch it, though, let me know if you'd like me to be more cautious.
Episode six, 'Return to Sender', is INCREDIBLE. It's when I started rewinding to rewatch moments I particularly enjoyed, which is always a sign I'm really getting into a show. I love Dexter being confronted with the fact that he's probably going to get caught and flipping out about it. I love Doakes bringing Debra to a meal with his family and discovering, to his horror, that she gets on really well with them.
I really enjoy how heavily Dexter's relationship with the Ice Truck Killer is depicted as a romance. And, when the police find a suspect, Dexter's reaction is very much 'what, no, it can't be this guy, I can't love this guy.'
I think Masuka should also turn out to be a serial killer. His vibes are twice as weird as Dexter's, and, more importantly, I think Dexter's reaction to realising he's not the only serial killer in the department would be very funny.
Maybe everyone in the police department is a serial killer, with the exception of Debra, the one person who actually is as straightforward as she appears.
I like that Dexter literally says 'there, there' when he's trying to comfort Rita. It's so exactly what you'd say if you have no idea how comforting works.
Oh, the doctor is one hundred percent the Ice Truck Killer. I am basing this entirely on 'he makes really realistic-looking prosthetics, suggesting, in the world of television, that he is super into body parts.'
Given this hypothesis, I conclude that the doctor kissing Debra is really an attempt to kiss Dexter by proxy, and I'm delighted by this.
I really like the way Dexter kind of finds himself taking another Murder Child under his wing. He wasn't planning on this, but someone's got to help guide this kid through the wonderful world of murder!
WAIT NO THAT IS NOT HOW I WANTED THIS STORYLINE TO RESOLVE
I enjoy Dexter's obvious 'oh, God, my first date with the Ice Truck Killer' nervousness when he's about to speak to the arrested suspect. Will Murder Senpai think I'm cool??
