In the realm of cinematography and screenwriting, it is advisable to limit the narrative of the characters, allowing the actions, conversations and scenes to speak for themselves. However, if there is an exception, and it is called Dexter! From the very beginning, I found myself captivated by the character of Dexter – a dark, introverted individual.
Seasons 1 and 2 stood out exceptionally, earning a commendable rating of 9/10
The strength of the character development was obvious, supported by impeccable casting and a fascinating, crime-filled story. However, the quality of the show began to decline after that. The introduction of new characters and excessive drama weighed down what was once a classic series. Despite my love for the character, I felt a gradual diminution of his charm, including that of Debra.
However, I must emphasize that the first two seasons are mandatory and should not be missed
The writing and direction were solid, but Dexter himself stood as a towering center, as his image of black humor remained a standout aspect. His narration in the episodes was a unique perspective from which we learned how he perceives things, people, and crimes; it was extremely fascinating. I recommend this series, but I urge viewers to approach it at their own pace and choose the number of seasons they want to indulge in.
