I don’t have Showtime. Which blows. You know why? Dexter, Dexter, Dexter! I absolutely *love* this show. And I’ve been waiting MONTHS for the 2nd season to come out on DVD.

Thank you, Netflix, for delivering my precious Dexter yesterday. I swear I only watched ONE episode… because, see, I’m in the middle of this edit, and I’m only 20 pages from the end of it… and I’m not allowed to waste my time watching really awesome shows. Bugger!

For those who don’t know, Dexter is this twisted show about a serial killer who works as a blood spatter analyst for the Miami Police Department. And you like the guy. Really, really like him. That is some seriously good writing, if you end up rooting for the serial killer.

I remember watching the very first episode, knowing who this guy was and what the show was about and thinking: how are they going to pull this off? And blammo, inside 5 minutes of the show, you are on Dexter’s side.

The bad thing about watching tv shows on DVD is that you can blow through all 4 episodes on a DVD in one damn day. Especially a serialized show. You don’t have to wait until next week to find out what happens. You can select the next episode and find out. It’s very, very bad for someone who has work to get done, gosh darn it.

I must dole out the Dexter slowly. Savoring each episode. Of course, with new fall TV on the way, I don’t have much time to savor. But I’m gonna try.

I know, it’s sort of weird, but an erotic romance author likes creepy, scary, disturbing stuff. I really do.

Anybody else loving the Dexter?
