Dexter
My sister was urging me to watch this new TV series she bought a DVD of – Dexter. It’s another one of those wonderfully weird shows from Showtime (well, that’s only judging from Californication being from Showtime, too, and it’s quite weird. Good show, but in a very controversial way). I didn’t think I’m up for gruesome, crime stories, wherein the main character is the one perpetuating the crimes, albeit only against hardened criminals. But the first episode proved to be intriguing and I think I might stick around to watch the entire first season. Plus, Michael Hall (Dexter), David from Six Feet Under, is a really great actor. Here he plays a forensics expert by day who analyzes blood-splatter patterns, and a heartless killer by night, preying on those criminals who got away from law and justice.
There’s a reason why I stay away from crime shows, CSI, for example. I used to watch documentaries about real crime stories and they give me nightmares. But the whodunit scenarios are always compelling and the use of modern technology in investigations is quite interesting to learn about. The use of PCR, for example, to determine the identity of possible suspects and, in more extreme cases, it’s even curious how they use dental fragments to identify the victims. It must really pay to watch your oral health, if only to have dental records, then. No, really, a charlotte cosmetic dentist is maybe what you need while you’re well and hoping to do some oral reconstructions, but the former is a technology I fear we don’t have here in our country yet (or do we?).
Anyway, we’ll see if I’ll be able to go through season 1 without being squeamish about all those blood.
