This is my first post in English and it is dedicated
to the beginning of the new Dexter’s Season, the eighth. You would understand
that I won’t translate all my French posts in Shakespeare’s language because
some of them would be simply pointless for you English…
This English post is about to deal with a TV Show I
consider almost perfect. Never I have been marked by such an intense TV Show!
Dexter has just begun his eighth and last season on American Showtime channel.
Before talking about this season 8, I would like to
come back on the TV Show strictly speaking. Who could have thought that we could
appreciate a serial killer? A few. It is exactly the strength of this TV Show.
Dexter does kill people (I cannot hide this from you…) but he follows and obeys
to a “code” that his own father taught him. To sum-up, Dexter only kills “bad”
people. In his way, he is kind of a super-hero. I am not telling anything else:
I let you discover it and enjoy it. I am sure you will like it!
Moreover, actors are perfect and the screenplay does
not show any weaknesses. Indeed, so many episodes with such suspense, intensity
and twists in the situation. Seasons 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 and 7 are amazing. In my
opinion, the bad one is the third, surely due to my taste… The size of 13
episodes of 54 min is essential in the success of the TV Show. We are never
bored and the intensity is constant. We have barely begun to enter the theme
of the season that the intensity cannot stop rising until the fireworks of the season’s
finale. No need to tell that the suspense which cannot be more oppressing
around the ninth episode of each season prevails to the end. I am trying to
find a TV Show which is as good as Dexter but I just cannot. Any other TV Show
has at least two episodes boring, especially those with the 24x42min size.
I hope that my view will give you the necessity to
discover or rediscover Dexter… For those who have not seen Dexter (yet) and the
last season, this post will stop here. The next part will deal with spoilers!
Do not hesitate to leave a comment when you watch Dexter!
!!! SPOILERS BE CAREFUL!!!
The second purpose of this post is about the beginning
of the season 8 (two first episodes). This season seems to be explosive… The
first episode sets the scene: Dexter and Debra do not talk to each other
anymore. She is self-destroying whereas he is losing his nerves which will not
make him a common killer, not the “perfect” serial killer he has been. It is exactly
the words used by the eccentric Dr Vogel. She knows anything about Dexter and
she introduced herself as his “creator”. She is a specialist in psychopaths and
was an adviser with Dexter’s father, in order to save Dexter from psychiatric
institution. Dexter seems to be lost and she wants him to help her to find THE
killer of this season 8. The latter could even be a former patient of the
physician. What do we have to think about it? It is hard to tell. Nevertheless, the
relationship between Dexter and the Doctor is very ambiguous, and I think we
are right to worry about him.
In my opinion, this Doctor is not trustworthy and
could be the killer we are looking for this season. Her disturbing adoration for
these people, “necessary” and “perfect” –talking about serial killers…-, cannot
be a coincidence. Moreover, in the second episode, Dr Vogel is right about the
killer whereas Dexter is not. We can notice it because it is very unusual. That
is the reason I think she is the killer and she recorded the video.
Another theory could be that she is trying to create
THE perfect serial killer. To do so, she has tried various methods and she
wants now to confront them to know which one is the best. Dexter is just a
guinea pig who will fight for his life.
We will see what the scriptwriters have thought up! Many
stories are still possible and that was what we expected! Do not hesitate to
comment on this season 8 but please warn people before posting. Thank you for
your reading and see you soon! Have a killer day!
