Here’s What’s Wrong With Everyone’s Understanding Of Dexter
“He’s insane!” Run the test: is he unable to understand that what he is doing is wrong? No. Is he unable to control himself? No– he covers his tracks and waits for opportunities. Is he suffering from a mental disorder that impairs his reason? No. This is a sane man who was allowed and then allowed himself to pursue and indulge in desires which, admittedly, are whacked, under the premise that they are innate and going to come out eventually. I love the show and therefore I’m happy to root for the morally ambiguous protagonist, but TV is wrong, this isn’t how a serial killer would act if he wanted to be normal, this is exactly how you think you would act if you decided to kill people.
