It’s a worrying thing when you find yourself rooting for the main character in a television show…and the character in question is a psychopathic serial killer. Let’s just say it gives one pause, but such moral quandaries are par for the course when watching TV3 crime show with a difference, Dexter. Monday nights on TV3 are very much a smorgasbord of blood splatter and forensics with first Bones and then the aforementioned Dexter.
If, like me you’ve been enjoying a regular Monday night dose of crime and punishment then you might like to consider digging a little deeper and checking out some of the crime fiction that’s inspired the shows.
Dexter is based on the novels by crime novelist Jeff Lindsay while Bones is based on the well known series of books by Kathy Reichs.

Love Bones! Monday nights just won’t be the same when the season ends.

Dexter is good, but my favourite crime related viewing at the moment is late on Tuesday night … Underbelly.
I’m stunned that it hasn’t attracted the audience it did in Australia – it’s gritty, funny, and surprisingly moving. And what a cast of characters!
The library is getting the book and am looking forward to learning more about Carl Williams and the Carlton crew.
