I haven't seen Dexter but from what I've read here it sounds like tongue in cheek glorification of serial killing.
One more good reason to:
Boycott Showtime !

You do know that the whole thing sprang from the fertile (futile? furtive?) mind of Steven Speilberg? He thought it up all by himself and called up Diablo Cody, Oscar winning screewriter of Juno, and asked her to write it based on his idea.
Fertility Rate in US on Upswing
The fertility rate among Americans has climbed to its highest level since 1971, setting the country apart from most industrialized nations that are struggling with low birthrates and aging populations.
The fertility rate hit 2.1 in 2006, according to preliminary estimates released by the National Center for Health Statistics. It's a milestone: the first time since shortly after the baby boom ended that the nation has reached the rate of births needed for a generation to replace itself, an average 2.1 per woman.
"Many policymakers and decision-makers in Europe, whether they talk about it or not, are envious of the U.S. fertility rate … because our social security issues will not come as fast as theirs," Butz says.
The stakes are clear, Ortega says: "If you're below replacement, you will eventually have a declining population and a faster aging process."
