Dear Producers of Dexter, this is how you make a show about serial killers. Okay, that’s a bit unfair given that clearly they’re different tones. So I’m late to the game on this show, part of the beauty of that is I’ve been able to binge watch it and really just enjoy immersing myself in this first season. It’s so damn impressive to see a network doing this kind of material and really going full tork with it. It’s a visual feast and the gruesomeness is pretty high for a show that airs on a main network. Kudos to everyone involved for having the balls to do this.
The 2nd part of this that makes me really gitty watching is seeing some Toronto actors that I know in supporting and guest starring parts (it’s shot in Toronto). I like that this is a re-invention of the Hannibal Lector story to some extent, and we aren’t just seeing someone trying to do an Anthony Hopkins impression. It’s a wise move and it works so well. I’m excited that I can dive into the second season right away. I really hope this show can keep up the quality. It’ll be interesting to see what happens we it moves into the years of the story in which movies already exist for them…
If you haven’t seen this yet and you like horror, suspense, or really just strong television than this one deserves your attention.
