I recently got hornswaggled into watching Dexter (wife would watch Monk, I'd have to watch Dexter). and I like it. We're finishing up season 2 and I really like Keith Carradine's character, just wish he was staying. (Although I hear he is back in season 4.)
I like the way the show builds an entire season. Doakes was a necessary evil and I'm going to miss him. I think it was cool to have Dexter have someone on the force be suspicious and watching him... it made a great cat and mouse game.
Hearing about Rita's death, it really had to happen. This opens a lot of doors for Dexter. Especially, when you consider his son was found in a pool of her blood and had watched it. As his son grows he'll have a special bond there.
Is it possible they will bring back JoBeth Williams next season to fight Dexter for custody...
Since they are married in real life, is there ever the possibility that Dexter and Debra get together (may seem sick but there is no biological bond there.)
The show has me totally hooked. It's not Monk but it is in my top 10 favorite shows.

Lithgow was also excellent as the psycho in Ricochet, was wonderful in Terms of Endearment... even 3rd Rock he was excellent in. Most actors will tell you it is easier to portray dark evil characters than to do comedy, because we all have pretty much the sense of wrong and right... whereas with Comedy you have to rely solely on timing and hope it hits the mark. Lithgow is excellent at both.
