Apparently, Matthew Gilbert has a thing or two to say about Dexter. And he just doesn't know what he's talking about. Matthew Gilbert is a TV reviewer who watches TV with a blindfold on. He's stupid and doesn't know a damn thing about Dexter.
I don't know a damn thing about Dexter either. I am also not a television reviewer. At least, I'm not paid to be a television reviewer. There are only about three people who listen to what I have to say about television, and they think I'm wrong a lot. Or slightly misguided. But really, I know what I'm talking about. I usually watch the shows I'm reviewing. I make informed assessments of what is before me. Matthew Gilbert seemingly does not.
If I were to review Dexter, I think it would go like this: Dexter centers around the titular character who happens to be a serial killer, but he tends to be pretty clean about it. He wears Henley-style shirts when he does his killing, so if he comes to visit and he's wearing that, you're probably done for. But he kills for the greater good, so you also probably deserve it. And it's probably the heart of the character than keeps the series going.
That's really just a first attempt, having only seen one episode. When Matthew Gilbert reviews Dexter, it goes like this: blurp blorp bloop blop bloopity bloop bloop blah. Because Matthew Gilbert is stupid and knows nothing about Dexter.
