So I am reading the series of books Dexter is based on and I just wanted to share a thought. I notice, when comparing the two, the show focuses a lot on Dexters growth/character development as a person. Usually attempting to lean away from his vigilante like serial killer self ("become a better person"). Whereas Jeff Lindsay focuses on the 'mental' development of the dark passenger, not in any direction but just more depth to understanding IT as its own entity. And I just gotta say I kinda love that direction of the novels more. Just one example of this deeper dive into the dark passenger: the entire introduction of Dexter in the Dark has such poetic and humanlike narrative from ITs( 😉) perspective.
