Today I finished watching the first season of "Dexter". I loved it the first
time I watched it, nine years ago, but I'm getting more out of it the second
time round. I remember parts of the series in vivid detail, but I forgot many
other parts, and I'm discovering them anew.
One of the strengths of "Dexter" is the powerful supporting cast. Lieutenant
Maria LaGuerta and Sergeant James Doakes are just two of them. LaGuerta is
dedicated to her work, but she's shown to have many failings for her position.
Doakes is the only one in the Miami Metro Police Department who suspects that
something is wrong with Dexter.
I have a feeling that season one's story was rushed. What I mean is, Dexter
meets his brother Brian Moser, who wants to reconnect with him after being
separated years ago. This sort of back-to-the-beginning story is something
that would have been better in the third season of a typical series. I'm not
saying that I didn't enjoy the first season, but it's a story that could have
been delayed until later.
Benjamin and I have watched the first season over a period of five days. He'll
only be with me another two days, so I don't think it's a good idea to start
the second season. It would be a shame for him to have a long delay half way
through. I'll ask him what he thinks.
