Main ThemeWritten by Rolfe KentPerformed by Rolfe Kent. In the realm of cinematography and scriptwriting, it is advised to limit character narration allowing actions, conversations, and scenes to speak for themselves. However, if there exists an exception, and it goes by the name, Dexter! From the start, I found myself captivated by Dexter’s character – a dark, introverted individual.
However, the show’s quality began to wane afterwards
The strength of character development was evident, bolstered by impeccable casting and an engaging, crime-filled storyline. Seasons 1 and 2 stood out exceptionally, earning a commendable rating of 9/10. The introduction of new characters and excessive drama weighed down what was once a classic series. Despite my love for the character, I sensed a gradual decline in its charm, including that of Debra.
However, I must stress that the first two seasons are a must-watch and should not be missed
The writing and direction were solid, yet Dexter himself stood as the towering centerpiece as his portrayal of dark humor remained a standout aspect. His narration throughout the episodes was a unique perspective where we learned how he perceived things, people, and crime; it was utterly captivating. I recommend this series, but I urge viewers to approach it at their own pace and choose the number of seasons to indulge in.
