The first time I watched the title sequence for Showtime’s “Dexter” I liked it, after I started watching the show, I fell in love with it.
The titles capture the essence of the show by depicting the violence behind a mundane morning routine. The only thing that tops the beautiful visuals, is the concept behind it; reason why I loved it after I started watching the show.
The only critique I have regarding this design, is the fact that there’s a second version of the it, featuring a sleeker font and a more elaborated animation. I personally find it overworked; I love the look and feel of the original.
Here’s the link to the official release by Digital Kitchen:

And here’s the original version. In fact this has been used all throughout season II, I don’t know why DK changed the version they showcase in their portfolio.

I’m on episode nine of season two, three more episodes and I’ll see what happens to my favorite serial killer.
