Showtime has to humanize him in order to make him relatable to the audience, which they underestimate. The result is an inconsistent sociopath.
With Dex in the Dark, the whole thing suddenly goes from reality to fantasy. The thrill of reading about serial killers is that they could actually be doing this. As soon as the mysterious supernatural force is introduced, the entire story changes. While I appreciate that Lindsay was taking chances, it wasn't in a direction I was comfortable with.
