The only reason Dexter is more "human" in the series is that due to it's nature as a TV show (availability, visibility, popularity, "the watershed" etc) is so that he is more acceptable to the viewing public. For example look at the flack given to the game "Manhunt" - the point of the game was to kill (violently) and so pushed a lot of peoples moral and ethical buttons. If Dexter wasn't portrayed as a pseudo-ethical vigilante in the series it would probably not exist. Which is probably the same reason why so many characters disappeared/appeared in seasons 4 and 5 - the writers seem to have lost the proverbial plot - trying to set Dexter up with a son, give him feelings etc. Personally I prefer 100% pure Dark Passenger Dexter.
