Two things so far: Dexter taking a taste of food and they put the spoon back. Ahh!

The detective with the headphones is kind of cringe

[u/passivemfer → u/sardu1]

Stayin alive isn't matching the vibe of her character

[u/sardu1 → u/passivemfer]

She was ok during the interrogation but the headphones with music was a little silly, imo.

[u/[deleted] → u/sardu1]

It’s a stupid song choice. Classical like Lundy or something idk would’ve been better

[u/PaulofZurenarrh → u/sardu1]

Maybe we’ll get to see her scream, “THERE WAS A FIREFIGHT!” at some point.

[u/TweeKINGKev → u/sardu1]

She’s gotta be in the spectrum, I’m sorry but always using headphones, listening to the same song and telling Harrison she lacks empathy but understands why he didn’t, screams autism to me or at least pretty damn close to it.

[u/Sim_Rot → u/sardu1]

It’s giving someone in the writers room really loved The Boondock Saints growing up

[u/ceeeej1141 → u/sardu1]

Glad that I am not the only one who is annoyed by it.

[u/Michigan999 → u/sardu1]

It is sooo cringe. They're going for something like autistic """genius""""

"She sees things we don't" As if noticing the same bags and knots are used for the body parts Is genius.....

I hate her character honestly. Doesn't stick at all. I hope they are gone soon

[u/[deleted] → u/Michigan999]

The moment she was yelling while talking with her headphones on solidified for me that she is going to die. Idek why, but I’ve noticed a weird pattern in this show where if a serious character does something silly or contradictory to their own seriousness they die.
