Did you like it? What did you think of the plot twists. This show blew me away in a major sense. When I saw the pilot it was months before the premiere, and the character sucked me in immediately. I couldn't get him out of my head for a week. While watching the season, I was consistently surprised and amazed by the plot twists, by the detailed character explorations, and impressed by the acting, the design, and the musical score. This show topped everything else that aired that year, including two of my other favorites, Veronica Mars and Battlestar Galactica.

I wondered how they would keep him going since Dexter seemed to evolve as a person in some dramatic ways in S1.

You have no idea. I've seen the first two episodes of the new season, and you have no idea what's to come. I think this season might even top the first, if that's possible. Look for the first two eps, they're floating around.
