Have you watched Dexter ?
What are your favourite episodes?
Orphaned at age three, when he witnessed his mother's brutal murder with a chainsaw, Dexter (Michael C. Hall) was adopted by Miami police officer Harry Morgan (James Remar). Recognizing the boy's trauma and the subsequent development of his sociopathic tendencies, Harry manipulated Dexter to channel his gruesome bloodlust into vigilantism, killing only heinous criminals who slip through the criminal justice system. To cover his prolific trail of homicides, Dexter gains employment as a forensic analyst, specializing in blood spatter pattern analysis, with the Miami Metro Police Department. Dexter is extremely cautious and circumspect; he wears gloves and uses plastic-wrapped "kill rooms", carves up the corpses, and disposes of them in the Atlantic Ocean's Gulf Stream to reduce his chances of detection. Dexter juggles his two personas, recognizing each as a distinct part of himself that must cohesively work as one. He depends on their interaction, as a means of survival and normality. Although his homicidal tendencies are deeply unflinching, as he originally claims (via narration), throughout the series he strives to feel (and in some cases does feel) normal emotions and maintains his appearance as a socially responsible human being.

I saw a couple early episodes but never really got into it.
And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

I watched the original run, but I never got around to giving the newer season they came out with a little while ago. I was pretty into it.
The first season is my favorite. It's the most surreal and interesting.
Season 2 is great too, but the end kinda chickens out from making Dexter make an interesting choice.
Love Jimmy Smits in season 3.
I don't like Season 4 as much as most fans, no disrespect to John Lithgow's work that season. But it is good.
The last 4 seasons had a different show runner, and it has a different vibe that I don't really dig. Dexter kinda becomes less a guy with a compulsion to kill and more a guy who solves all his problems with murder.
