This is the best show on Television for the following reasons:
- Dexter is hiding out in a small town that just happens to have a serial killer
- Several girls have done disappeared over the span of ~30 years
- There is a never ending supply of young, female victims, they just keep showing up on the killer’s doorstep
None of the above is national news. There is no manhunt or search for the missing girls. The police chief (I don’t think we’re allowed to call them that any more) reports she doesn’t have a budget for resources to take on cases like this. She does have budget for fancy tactical spelunking equipment though, which is good. In any case, she makes no headway in her cases. Fortunately Dexter moves to town.
He uses good old fashioned homicide to get to the bottom of things. As usual, our hero dispenses the king’s justice swiftly and brutally, taking out 2 of 3 bad guys like a laymen would the trash. The final one, the last boss, was a bit more of a challenge. You see, Dexter’s son has a thing with this older gentleman, so Dexter has to be careful of the backlash of teenage angst should he kill his son’s older man-friend.
In fact, this show is written by teenagers for teenagers. If you’re into that sort of thing, have at it. But it’s not all bad. The father son duo find a ventilation pipe protruding from what appears to be an innocuous snow-covered landscape. The killer’s underground lair might have been up to code as far as HVAC was concerned, but it spelled his doom.
That’s enough for now. Still watching. Still holding my breath.
Final Score: 0.025 / 10
