Dexter: Season 2
I finished season 2 in less than a week. I am hooked - I have season 3 but I think I'll take a break from it since it's eating up a lot of my time.
To elaborate on why I find this show so fascinating:
Dexter is a serial killer, but there's so much more to it than that. The show explores themes of acceptance, self-understanding, masking one's true self, right and wrong. Usually when I watch this much TV I feel brain dead, but with Dexter I find myself thinking of how this twisted, yet somehow logical, thought process of a serial killer and his search for a 'normal' life relates to my own. The well-woven integration of such universal themes into something as heinous as mass murder is unnerving and captivating.
