I have fallen head over heels for the show “Dexter“!

Every week I wait to see Michael C. Hall, the nerdy-looking nice guy who’s the serial killer I hate to love!  His twisted perspective of seeing that justice is carried out when the judicial system fails is curious!  Who hasn’t wished for a little vigilantism at one time or another, right?

The only problem that I have with the show is Dexter’s women!
<Dexter…what a name>

Take his wife Rita, for instance.  Julie Benz is a gorgeous woman!  Beautiful!! But, after having gone through one abusive husband, living on the edge and then settling down with Dexter, you would think that she would eventually raise her voice!  Instead, Rita could be yelling at the kids for backing up the toilet with the same voice that she’d tell Dex to move a little to the right!
It’s sexy and all…it’s just not real!

And what is with all of this clinging crap?!  I know that it’s to make it a little hotter for Dexter to do what he needs to do but seriously?!  I was about to reach into the television and shake her myself after she had the baby!  I have a low tolerance for that !

Then take his sister, Debbie Morgan, played by Jennifer Carpenter who is also a beautiful woman.  I cannot stand her mouth!
Who wrote this stuff!?  I honestly believe that the writer gets $5 every time she says the “F” word!  And it’s constant!  It’s not just when she’s angry!  It’s when she’s angry, when she’s kidding around, when she’s having sex or eating a hot dog on a city street!  Sheesh!  I actually find myself repulsed and I’m married to a construction worker and am no frilly willy when it comes to that stuff!  I just can’t get over her mouth!!

And then, there is her hair and wardrobe.  Seriously…they’re in Florida and she dresses more like she belongs somewhere much less dreamy in her blue/brown combination of the lowest-rising, shape-stealing pants they could find for her, which is so unattractive!!  I know she’s a cop!  Do the women of the Force justice!!  Put Rita in a little less showy wardrobe and spread the wealth, huh?

And then comes the camera angel!  Could they point out an awkward profile more often?  In case I am the only one…I think her face looks shark-like at the angel they shoot her at sometimes!  I am not saying that to hurt her feelings…I wouldn’t let anyone do my full-on profile either!  I just don’t think they like the woman!!

Next comes hot and sexy Lieutenant Maria Laguerta, (Lauren Vélez) who almost came through unscathed until recently when she began a hot and sexy union with her co-worker, Angel Batiste (David Zayas).  I like the guy…I really do!  I just thought she had more brains than that!  That never ends well!

But, it also seems to me as though the hair, make-up and wardrobe department is really skimping when it comes to Maria as well.  Regardless of how awkward those scenes are in the bedroom, it doesn’t take much to cover up and still be sexy!  She’s a hot Latina woman!  Make her so Number 1!

And, I think she looks like us real women do after having sex all of the time!  Hair jostled, makeup off…<if you participate> It’s just bad television policy to make a woman look like she just had sex, especially when she just had sex!  Even real women freshen up before going on with our day!!

Unless…they are waiting for the other co-workers to notice and uncover their hot and sexy affair?!

Yeah…right!

EDITED 11/19/09  Apparently, the show is reading my blog.  Rita is now cheating on Dexter, Deb isn’t cursing as much and the Lt. looks awesome!  GOOD JOB!
