Dexter Notes
I’ve been a longtime fan of the Dexter series on Showtime, and a new season (#7) is going to begin in about a month. I unfortunately don’t subscribe to Showtime, having caught it through Netflix and Amazon Video on Demand in the past. But last month I picked up the entire run of the whole series (when I spotted it as a blu ray deal of the week on Amazon) and have begun watching it all over again, deliberately, studying this serial killer series for whatever new observations I can make the second time around and to uncover any lessons I can glean.
I’ve begun sharing some snippets of these thoughts on twitter in a series with the hashtag #DexterNotes. If you don’t follow me on twitter, not to worry: these are all handily available in the permanent archive I keep here on gorelets.com, called The Nest; here’s a link to the archived #DexterNotes. I’m also posting links to related Dexterophilia on Delicious. I’m ashamed to admit I’ve only read one of the Dexter books by Jeff Lindsay that inspired the series so far, but I plan to make amends. I’m not just a fan; I think this study may lead to something very interesting and unique in the future.

Drat… the subpages on The Nest are temporarily unavailable (I’m still trying to figure out why)…so #DexterNotes archive is in limbo right now while I do repairs. You can still find many of them by searching Twitter or visiting the Trending Tweets pages at http://tweets.gorelets.com/ — Mike Arnzen
Okay, I think we’re back up and running with The Nest search and subpages. Check it out. http://gorelets.com/nest/
I fell out of touch with cable series after Entourage ended on HBO. I still follow Californication because — on just SOME LEVELS — I can relate to Hank Moody, being a writer myself. I don’t subscribe to Showtime either any more so I’m with you on the Netflix trail.
Dexter sounds exactly like the kind of series I can really go for. I wonder why I did pick up on this one before.
