Dexter

Dexter is a new Showtime series about a serial killer that preys exclusively on other serial killers. The premise is that he was adopted by a cop who caught him at the killing-small-animals stage and molded him into a "good" serial killer. Now he works for the police as a blood splatter expert and moonlights as a serial killer that preys on his own kind. The first two episodes can be seen for free on the Showtime website.

I love it!

I have a certain weakness for serial killer fiction and movies, I'll confess, and Dexter, in his struggles to imitate humanity and to follow the code his adopted father taught him, is an extremely likeable serial killer.

I don't know if Showtime will continue to put up episodes on their website, but I rather doubt it.... So I'm asking, does anybody get Showtime who would be willing to allow me to use it to watch Dexter in some fashion???

No, I haven't seen the show, but let's be honest--

Anything that tries to humanize these kinds of animals or put them in a sympathetic light is WRONG. I don't care if this sick concept called Dexter is out there hunting other killers and donating their organs to orphans, it's still a human killing other humans without judge or jury.

It's wrong. Anything to glorify it is wrong.

So, in my ever-continuing quest to do things more interesting than write about ceramics, I checked out this whole Dexter thing. I've got to say right on. That's a great show!

I have had problems much like yours in the recent past, being in Guate and all, where we don't get shows at the same time. The only 2 options you have (outside of getting Showtime, which I'm under the impression won't happen) are getting it off the internet (Morpheus will probably have it) or waiting for it to come out on DVD which will probably happen in about 10 months if it's like everything else these days.
