Dexter. Disturbing television feed for the Junkie need

Dexter. It's a show about your favourite serial killer, Dexter. He works as a blood spatter expert for the Miami Police Department and kills bad guys in his spare time. Yup, he only kills bad guys. The main character is dark, the story is a bit on the spooky side. If you enjoy the indeterminate nature of Siggie's stories, you'll like Dexter.

Basically if you enjoy rooting for the morally ambiguous than Dexter is right down your alley. This is about one of the only shows (minus Heroes) that I can stand to watch now-a-days with the whole endless sea of one tree hill type I think I'm going to puke shows on TV. And When you're in college without a TV you have to choose your series wisely or pray your family has recorded it for you so you can marathon on Thanksgiving (while still getting in as much football as possible).

I think this is one of the few times where I actually like the show/movie more than the books.

I was just watching Dexter last night, and the character Little Chino made me think of Magnus from Ancestor... Man that is a big guy! I saw some stats that listed him as 6' 8" and 315+ pounds.

With the way the show's going, they've really diverged. The book, IMHO, shows a darker, amoral character. TV Dexter seems to have more redeeming qualities. Which kind of makes sense, TV generally makes you want to like the lead in a show. ------- Whole Lot of Nonsense PodCast - http://www.wholelotofnonsense.org UUCSH Sunday Services - http://uucsh.libsyn.com Follow Me - http://www.twitter.com/bpende Pownce on Me - http://www.pownce.com/bpende

I'm not sure if they're both cool, but Dexter's almost as scary as Siggie. ------- Whole Lot of Nonsense PodCast - http://www.wholelotofnonsense.org UUCSH Sunday Services - http://uucsh.libsyn.com Follow Me - http://www.twitter.com/bpende Pownce on Me - http://www.pownce.com/bpende

Dude! I love this story! I wait every week to find out who he offs next. Not nearly as disturbing as it sounds. I just wish it were REALLY that easy to clean up th planet a bit... And Dexter is so fucking hot this season. Hooking up with his sponsor who it seems is even more fucked up than Dex? Um - hot! Kind of makes me want t go to meetings.. =) ---------------------------------------------- Live every week like it's Shark Week!

Agreed. I don't have showtime, and after seeing these two episodes on CBS, I'm going out to rent Season 1. I can't wait for next Sunday.

I think Sigler must be a writer for the show, how else can the show be that fucking demented, in a good way.

Arguably the best written show on television at the moment. That or MST3k re-runs.

As with most of the stuff I watch, this was recommended by a friend. And when he showed me the Intro I was sold. I mean, who would have guessed that so many regular, menial tasks can be made to look so disturbing. This series is a work of art, no boubt adout it!
