Man, Dexter is getting good. I'm on like episode 12 of the first season. It took several episodes for me to really appreciate the show, and then a couple more before the writers finally included some irony. (Recalling, of course, that one definition of "irony" is when the audience knows something the characters don't know.) That irony is really what finally hooked me. It was neat just being strung along for a little while, but to hook me on a show of this sort, I needed that irony.
