Sheryl's view on " Dexter"

Dexter is a bloodstain pattern analyst/serial killer that kills serial killers. ”Dexter” casts a deep sense of irony because he kills serial killers and because he uses his profession of catching serial killers to get away with killing serial killers. For every kill that Dexter commits, he will cut his victim with a scalpel and keeps a blood slide with a drop of his victim’s blood on it as a souvenir in a box and then puts it into his air conditioner. Dexter will then cut up his victim into several pieces, put the body parts into a black garbage bag, carry them onto his boat (A Slice of Life), and drop them in the middle of the ocean. He was a family man with two step children and a baby until his wife was murdered. His step children left to go live with their grandparents. Dexter was left to take care of his baby boy “Harrison”. The murder of his wife gave him a much stronger conviction to kill serial killers. As of right now, there are six wonderful seasons of Dexter with more to come.

People like Dexter because they are attracted to the methodical way he lives his life and handles complicated situations. People’s primal instincts attract them to Dexter and shows like it due to its violent nature, and their ability to limit it to a safe environment. With Dexter’s “Dark Passenger” (a coin fraise that is mentioned in almost every episode), how could someone not want to watch this exciting Showtime series. Who doesn’t want to get rid of all the people out there in the world that do nothing but violate us in some way or another! I enjoy watching Dexter because he has no remorse for killing someone that does harm, and as of right now, gets away with it. Of course everyone that either works with Dexter or is around him has no idea what or who he truly is, including his adoptive sister Debra Morgan.

 

There are people that do think that Dexter is a horrible show for anyone to watch because it suggests that murder could be accepted in society as long as society favors it. Whether the killings be committed by the government or a vigilante. Critics want "Dexter" to stay previewed on channels that you have to pay to watch and also not be shown on You Tube.They also think that it is wrong that they put children in the mix of all this with putting them into danger and putting them into adult situations. Some people also believe that no child under any circumstance should ever watch this Showtime series in fear that our children will go out and do what Dexter does.

                                                                     MY OPINION

I absolutely love to watch Dexter. He is my hero. I have every season sitting on my shelf at home awaiting for me to watch over and over again. In the real world there is no way of getting away with the things (murders) that Dexter does, so I like to visualize or fantasise myself in the scenes of the show, as bad as that sounds. Is it not what movies and shows are all about?  I do agree that shows like this should not be aired on regular TV, but it is also the job of the parents to know what it is that their children are watching and filter them out if need be. It is also our job as parents to let our children know that this does not happen in real life and if it does then they will be caught.
