re: Dexter - this show is becoming unwatchable

I started watching this show and homeland this season. I have never picked up on a show with as little background info as I have when I started dexter. But I watch it while going to bed and I definitely want to pick up the first 6? seasons when I get a chance.

I know it sounds completely retarded but it has gone pretty nicely. I was quite shocked when I found out Dexter and the lieutenant were siblings and the guy he was talking to was his dead father who actually helped him hone his lust for killing.
