That nails it, pan. It's Dex's internal tension--which he's largely oblivious to or in denial about--that propels the show.

I mean, the guy's insane. He has basically no emotional life at all, or at least, he'd tell you that. You can't expect a whole lot of introspection. He is the kind of animal that he is, with the kind of itches he has to scratch, and that's that. He's wrapped it in a shell of justice, is all. His efforts to be "good"--even to understand what "good" means, beyond simply following the Code and not getting caught--is what makes him the fascinating character he is.
