Dexter: Born Free (2006)
Season 1, Episode 12
Quite possibly my favorite episode of Dexter, ever. It's a tough one, but man was this awesome!

In terms of seasons, the first season of Dexter is my joint-favorite along with season 4. I'd say it goes: 1/4, 7, 2, 8, 3, 6, and then 5. 5 is still good, but it's just my least favorite of the series. Now, with the first season, one of the reasons as to why it was so damn good was because of its villain - Rudy, the Ice Truck Killer. Possibly my all time favorite villain of any TV show ever. He was absolutely fantastic. At first, very mysterious, dark, cryptic, and of course evil. And also very intricate and hard to follow. I loved the first season a lot and the finale was everything I had hoped for, first time I saw it. It was damn awesome. I loved everything about the last episode and its massive climax was extremely well-written. Revealing Rudy to be Brian Moser, Dexter's biological brother, was such a shock. I was stunned to learn that he was related to Dexter. After watching 12 full episodes and finding out who he was, it was damn awesome. It was a terrific way to end the first season, which to me is unbeatable apart from season four. Four had Lithgow as the villain, who was as good as the Ice Truck Killer. But yeah, Dexter season one is awesome and this is one of the single best episodes of any show in all of TV history.
