HOW SHOWTIME PORTRAYS IT
HOW CBS PORTRAYS IT

Sgt. Doakes knows there's something off about Dexter. He gives Dexter a stern warning:
"I'm watching you mother-f***er".
"I'm watching you mother-lover"
Deb is known for her colorful languange, often interjecting obscenities in everyday speech. "You're f***ing her?"
(Deb suspicious of Dex's rapport with Lt. LaGuerta)		 "You're sleeping with her?"
(her back is to the camera, so the voiceover is not apparent)
Dexter keeps a single piece of memorabilia from each of his kills: a blood-stained glass slide. Dexter methodically draws a scalpel across his victim's cheek to obtain a blood sample for his slide collection. The camera cuts away as Dexter presses the scalpel to his victim's cheek. We do not see it slicing the flesh.
Oh...the language, pretty much when Deb opens her mouth a curse word is coming out of it...

Dexter is awesome. Working for the police and getting away with everything her does.
Very uncut, clear, and nasty all over the place, just think of it as an open body spraying blood alover.
Clean, cut out, boring. They made a killer boring.
Stg. Doakes is really tough cop, with a secret past. He is very rough around the edges, and mostly has a foul mouth whenever he is around Dexter.
He's too clean cut, he's not the bad-a** of the show.
when it comes to T.N.A showtimes bares it all thank god
Think of the children!
