Dexter v. American Psycho

American Psycho seems to be a kind of farcical critique on society and what it turns us into whereas Dexter is about some dude that’s got this terrible attribute (he’s a serial killer) because of some random event when he was a kid and how he copes with it, and the consequences that flow from it.  The serial killer thing can be extreme, but you could see it as a metaphor for any number of defects that a human being might have that would make someone feel “different” and that has negative practical consequences for those close to you.
