Dexter O Dexter


Shivers ran down my spine, my body tensed and I was probably blushing, the cacophonous bar was suddenly silenced, its music faded to muddled, muffled tones, patrons laid their glasses to rest, the lights seemed to dim as the mounted televisions in their brightly glowing glory bathed the faces of the masses in swathes of red as Dexter triumphantly filled the screen, fantastically naughty, fearsome Dexter Morgan has finally arrived in New Zealand.
For months I have been enduring wretched and extremely outdated American shows, now I can confidently say that my suffering is not in vain. Seriously, they just aired Rock of Love 2 and I Love New York 2, they regularly show The Big Bang Theory and the long since cancelled game show, Identity...please someone shoot me. New Zealand's underwhelming four channels are usually showing endless games of Cricket or some such and such Rugby tournament but during the brief intervals between sporting sessions they love to put on the worst of the worst in American television and it makes me want to cry. But alas there is hope down that long cathode ray tube of darkness and its name is Dexter

And it's absolutely true what they say, he DOES put the laughter in slaughter AND the fun in funeral.
Power saw to the people!
