Dexter - icky and sticky

DexterFinally watched the first three eps of Dexter OnDemand tonight. There was quite a bit of gore that received the fast-forward treatment. Not for kids but not too high on the slasher-movie scale of gore, either.

I found myself wondering what would happen next and enjoyed the cast but the show is... icky. Dexter is likable (an unfortunate real-life trait of serial killers) and his "work" has been perfected to focus soley on vigilantism. Does that make it okay? Maybe. At least in his Miami.

Two issues for me: His father's odd tutelage - talk about supporting your kids' interests at all costs. And hearing Dexter's thoughts is annoying as hell. I hate voice overs. I would rather get the story straight on the screen or read the book (there apparently is one).

So, I'm not a huge fan of Dexter. Then again, I want to see what happens.
