Dexter paints a believable and highly detailed portrait of a troubled sociopath
One of the parts of the show I love the most is the emotions that normal people show, forcing Dexter to imitate them. Good laughs when Dexter’s fake emotions become real and he gets scared like his “girlfriend” Rita, a mother of two and the victim of his abusive ex-boyfriend. I also liked Jennifer Carpenter’s performance as Dexter’s sister, Debra, which adds a nice touch of color to the show without getting bogged down in clichés.
