After having watched last week's episode it was clear to me that it couldn't get much worse.
I WAS WRONG!
And I swear...if I hear one more droning, pretentious monologue projecting out of Dexter's mouth I'M going to become homicidal.
And with regard to the "relationships" in this show...do the writers just sit around the room and ask themselves which random person can sleep with some other random person? This wouldn't even make a halfway decent soap opera.
It is just 100% total TRASH!
And ya know...it's one thing to try to come up with the most gross, sensationalistic plots in order to appear to be "cutting edge". But the decision this season to introduce religion might have been the worst mistake since the Edsel. It started with the stupid Catholic preschool for Harrison, careened off of "Brother Sam", and has gone full tilt, downhill, with the Doomsday Killer.
But the biggest problems with this series are:
1. The mounting instances of Dexter playing God and deciding that HE'S the ONLY ONE who can set things straight. So instead of providing the police with the accurate information needed to apprehend dangerous criminals, he keeps that vital information private and as a result PEOPLE NEEDLESSLY DIE. That is not, or at least should not be the core of this show. Unfortunately, that's exactly what it's become.
And 2. The lazy writing. WAY too many times where a message on an answering machine is overheard or a pen found in a desk or a close encounter is missed or not missed...or...or...or. It's bad writing that's simply not believable and it has eroded away any real interest that this show once had. It's just too stupid for words.
