Dexter

When you have a young kid, renting TV series on DVD instead of movies makes a lot of sense. It's much easier to squeeze in an episode or two here and there than set aside time for a full length movie. Of course, this whole rationale is completely blown when you watch four 45-minute episodes of a show all in one day.

But we just couldn't help ourselves. Dexter is fantastic. Originally a Showtime series, it's about a vigilante serial killer who only targets people who have committed heinous crimes themselves. it doesn't sound that great when I try to explain it, but it's incredibly well written and the actor playing Dexter is just perfect. I highly recommend it.

I anxiously await Disc 2...

I can't remember if you have Netflix, but if you do, the entire 1st season of Dexter is on there for "instant watching." (Yes, I watched the entire season on my laptop. It was awesome.)

Yes we have Netflix and we did discover the "instant watching" feature. Each night after Tai goes to bed we watch and episode of Dexter on the computer. (Now I know why Minh needed to buy that wide-screen monitor...)
