Movie Reviews of Dexter: Seasons 1 - 3
Movie Review: The one obvious annoying thing
Summary: 5 Stars
After watching almost two seasons of the show so far, I've been very impressed by how well this series has conducted itself. It is a fantastic show, and very very well done.
Although there are some slight problems with it; the humanization of the title character seems a bit off, and the show seems to be becoming ever more "standardized". The start of a season has been so far very cryptic, but seems to rush towards the ending quickly during last few shows at an accelerated pace. Some of the situations don't make a lot of sense, and things don't always fit. For example, creating confusion in a group oflaw enforcement people might make your intuition say "law enforcement background", but it's just as likely a schemer, psychiatrist, spy, or the like. Law enforcement? How about military intelligence, KGB, or CIA.
So there is the occasional obvious plot device here and there. Such as expecting that rather than killing a hostage, or ruining their life through a frame up, that they'd get killed accidentally though no fault of the anti-hero. Regardless if that's true or not, there are many instances where something like that is true. Knocked somebody out and shot them up with drugs? Why would someone else not be concerned about the action itself, but rather ignore that and believe the only reason somebody knows how to do that is because they use those drugs themselves, even though there's no physical evidence at all that they do.
The series contains random sporadic semi-nudity. Buttocks here and there. Jumping between glimpses of, to long obvious shots flaunting, breasts; there seems to be no middle ground. Aside from fairly clear efforts to not show full frontal nudity, which is typical and rather expected, there is what appears a rather glaring exception to this sporadic semi-nudity (full back, top front, bottom front hidden by items or legs). The foul-mouthed woman that was originally working undercover vice (with all that entails conceptually) is annoyingly and obviously hidden from our view. It's plain what they're doing. The first example even has what appears to be the actress wearing some sort of covering on her chest, even though elaborate pains are taken to not show anything in the first place anyway. It can't be explained simply by the actress being TUT, as one of the first examples of a topless female (in a hospital bed a few shows in to the series) is of a similar nature.
The point of all this is not trying to complain about this actress not wanting to do any shots with herself topless. As far as we know, she's had twin mastectomy operations, or has strongly held religious convictions that don't extend to her dialog. The point being that the sheer blatant "actively not showing anything" detracts from the flow of the show; like they're purposely drawing your suspension of disbelief away to focus on this.
Otherwise, this show is just about as perfect as can be expected of anything. Highly recommended. I can't wait to watch the 3rd season!
Summary of Dexter: Seasons 1 - 3
Dexter is back and more killer than ever. The Emmy-nominated Showtime Original Series (Best Drama Series, Lead Actor in a Drama Series) returns for an all-new season ? and this time Dexter?s got a new take on taking life. Having faced some of his darkest demons, Dexter?s ready to put the past behind him. Now, with family life, a day job catching killers and an uncontrollable urge to do away with the ones that get away, Dexter?s got his work cut out for him. And when a high-profile case sides him with powerful Assistant DA Miguel Prado (special guest star Jimmy Smits), the pressure might be too great for even our beloved Dexter to hack.Similar DVD Movies
