So much so I had to have my brother tape the first year because I didn't have Showtime. I won't make that mistake again. I am becoming a bit disillusioned as the main plot-line has been turned into a soap opera and gotten away from the 'pure' Dexter and his Dark Passenger. This soap opera twist has happened to several of the most recent 'edgy' dramas on TV. OZ, Sopranos, etc . . . all got away from the original premise and with more and more outlandish plots and characters they eventually turn into adult soap operas. Can anyone say 'jump the shark?' I'm still watchin' just for the glimpses of the Dark Passenger. I have been a Dexter fan since year one. So much so I had to have my brother tape the first year because I didn’t have Showtime.
