Only doing this now because I'm up from watching my league's first All-Star victory of the century:

Day 14 - Favorite male character

That’s a burden.  It can’t be someone in an ensemble cast, or someone played by multiple actors, or, really, someone who has been killed off or whose story has been silenced by network nimrods.

With that as the algorithm, the answer becomes rather easy: Dexter Morgan.

MCH as David Fisher was my favorite male on Six Feet Under. (My long-impending bigamous marriage to Lauren Ambrose prevents him from claiming  the overall top spot for that show, but that gets us ahead to tomorrow, and that answer won’t be Claire, see Rule of Ensemble Casts above).  David had the skills, the sensitivity, and of course the gay.

You made me love you, Mr. Fisher. And then you came back, with blood slides and knives and an apartment that you would REALLY make me feel better about if you just gave up. We can rebuild him. We can make him better than he was. Better, stronger, straighter.

Four times now, Dex has taken us to the deepest corner of the abyss. Each season has brought us a worthy adversary, and each has ended with a mixture of pain and relief.  Yet every moment has kept us mindful of code- the capital-C one impressed on him by his non-DNA dad, and the less official one binding him to his non-genetic family, now in its third generation, that governs so much of what he does and, now, what has been done to him.

Weeks go by with Showtime sitting, unattended, on our living room set. The only importance of the 221 is 926- the day it all begins again. September 26th is also our wedding anniversary. Do not even try to attach a shred of significance to that.

Never seen it. Based on your recommendation, I'm going to add it to the Netflix queue.
