dexter: everyone's favorite serial killer!

I have recently started watching the show Dexter, which has a fantastic opening sequence that I thought I would share...



For those who don't know, Dexter is a dark drama/comedy about a guy (Dexter) who works for the Miami PD as a blood spatter analyst...but off the clock, he is actually a serial killer. A traumatic event from his childhood has robbed him of emotions and bred in him the desire to kill. However, guided by his foster father's "code," he only kills the bad guys.

So yes, dark and gruesome...but compelling nonetheless. This intro is great because it shows an everyday routine in a very menacing manner...and it feels very frame by frame, like a storyboard.
