Perhaps.
I found Dexter disturbing in the same way I find Serge Storms disturbing. Not the violence or the vengeance, but the need to make the killer aware they are being killed in a gruesome manner for their past misdeeds.
Obviously I am a prude in that I don't like mental or physical torture even if the torturee is deserving of it in the protaganoists viewpoint.
I only watched two episodes of Dexter but I don't see it as any worse than your average thriller cut and slash movie. Probably no worse than the evil doll Chucky although I would have a hard time taking Chucky seriously..

Ps I am also a prude because I don't like Saws or Halloween type movies, but I don't actually see them or Dexter as harmful to a half way normal person or even to society as a whole.
