Dexter
A show were you are rooting for a serial killer. Does it get any better than that? The lead is a guy who kills his own brother, the best man in his wedding, a friend of the family and many many other people.

Re: Dexter
one of my favorites.(we need folk like Dexter) I'm not a big TV watcher but I will watch this show & HBO's True Blood. SixFeet Under was another I used to watch so sad it ended.CryDon't Start Nothin' Won't Be Nothin'

Re: Dexter

It really is one of the best shows currently on tv. Dexter is one of those characters like The Shield's Vic Mackey in the sense that no matter what they do, you still like and root for them. Michael C. Hall does an excellent job portraying Dexter.

Re: Dexter
I've watched all of Season 1 & 2, nothing of Season 3 - SO NO FAWKIN SPOILERS! One of the best shows ever.

Re: Dexter

in Oz so far. On popular shows we might get them in the same week that they air in the US, but most we get after the end of the run in N.A. Looking forward to Season 2. It's a great show. I just finished listening to "Diary of a MadMan" and think that is what Dexter would be if they didn't have to deal with censors.

Re: Dexter

Ooops, Sorry about the spoilers for those of you that do not have Showtime. Dexter has finished the 3rd season and it is a much more violent foulmouthed experience than the non-cable version. It doesn't hold a candle to Perry D, but then he doesn't have his own show yet.

To keep watching good tv like Dexter. It's worth the time investment.

Re: Dexter

is that when they are done with the source material (the TV series is based on book for those of you who were unaware), you can still make up all kinds of viable situations for which murder and dismemberment to insue.

I have seasons 1 and 2, but am waiting for Season 3 to come out since I don't have Showtime any more :-( .  I love Michael C Hall, he was great in Six Feet Under too.

Did you have to give up Showtime because of the price? It is on the highest tier of my cable. Not sure how long I can keep it.

Re: Dexter

  Does it measure up to Dexter and Six Feet Under? How about Blood Ties? I'd written it off as just another Vampire show until I saw Alan Ball was involved/created it. Then my brother told me Anna Panquin plays the lead, so I'll probably be Netflixing at least the first disc of Season 1.

  I'm still highly annoyed that HBO doesn't offer their content anywhere online for legal purchase. You'd think they'd want the additional revenue, but I guess they *like* forcing people to go torrent their material. That's just not my thing.

Re: Dexter

 I didn't even know they made a non-Showtime version. Where do they air that? Or are you referring to the DVD sets? I would think those would be the same content as the Showtime editions, but maybe not.

  I've watched the first two seasons and didn't notice you spoiling anything from season three. If you're going to put spoilers in your post, I'd recommend putting "spoiler alert" in ALL CAPS or bold just prior to where you're about to do so. That will give readers a heads up so they don't accidentally stumble across a spoiler reading along the plain text. If there had been a spoiler in your post I would have been highly annoyed with you.

Re: Dexter

 Not sure if the house is yours or belongs to someone else, but people making you change the channel is unacceptable. I suppose you *could* get a Tivo or Netflix the DVDs, but finding more compatible roommates is the way I'd go. People who can't appreciate Dexter leave something to be desired. Or is this family you're talking about?

Re: Dexter

 Too many things in my life to do; I don't have the time to waste with commercials. I only watch Hulu or Joost when I'm really desperate. Generally it's Netflix all the way. I was so psyched when they finally got instant viewing up and running for the Mac. Just watched the first episode of Season 2 of Heroes. Kind of curious to see if it's as bad as I've heard from everyone.

Re: Dexter

   They both have been given a chance to show their versatility as actors in this series. The only major part I'd seen them in previously was Six Feet Under and Buffy/Angel, respectively. Julie was the reason I initially found Dexter and gave it a chance. I've been hooked ever since.

  Dexter has incredible writing, quality acting in both the lead and supporting roles, and a brilliant production team. I was skeptical that they'd be able to pull off a high quality Season 2, but the creators managed to supercede what they'd done in Season 1. I'm stoked to see if they can continue the magic in Season 3.

Re: Dexter
I am trying to stop watching as much TV. I have cut out a lot the past few months. Watching series on DVD makes sense. You can avoid all the commercials and choose when you want to watch it.

Dexter is one of those great shows with an odd twist and makes you kinda question What's good? What's evil? the good old everything isn't just black and white but has all kinds of shades of grey!!!

Re: Dexter

I've read the first two books, but I haven't seen any episodes yet. If you've done both, how does the first book compare to the first season? I know that the first season was based on the first book, but the other seasons have been new material.

Re: Dexter

I've read all three books in the series. The first season is a stretched version of the first book. The ending to the book and to the first season are different. And the books are only from Dexter's point of view, they obviously had to add stuff to get a full season.
