Rant du jour…

Last night was the series premier
of the 3 year old tv series
“Dexter”
on CTV

we got to see the fist episode of season one

I’ve been hearing some of my US friends
speaking positively about this show
and how much they were looking forward to it
so I watched it
to see what’s what

here’s the premise:
a young boy is so badly abused that by the time he
reaches foster care he kills animals
on a regular basis

as he grows older he continues
only now his foster father the cop
knows what he’s doing and suggests
that the next time
he gets the “urge”
he speak to him

but Dexter doesn’t
instead
as an adult he becomes a forensic specialist
for the local police force
specializing in blood spatter….

well that…
and he’s a serial killer

he finds out about the “bad guys”
that for reasons usually technical
are not being punished for their crimes
and he brutally murders them
and disposes of their bodies

uhhhhhm?
is this the kinda shit we should be touting
as good tv?

it’s well done
it’s glib
it’s smart
it’s flashy
and in my opinion
it’s wrong.

with the rating for now
