Dexter

[woodsman]

Anyone else fond of Miami's most effective serial killer?

I absolutely love this series. It's just about the only fiction (politics aside) I watch on TV now.

So refreshing, great acting, plot and although I don't think it's always meant to be, funny.

Any other fans? Any thoughts?

Fond of Dexter isn't really enough for me, I love him, I mean, it!

The first season wasn't as good I think as it is now, but that's normal. I imagine it takes the writers awhile to really find thier groove, and the doakes character was not a good actor. Evryone else though, superb! I loved Jimmy Smits' addition to season 3.

I love the series too but as usual in Australia, the free to air stations are so conservative and it's broadcasting is erratic . I can't believe they decided to show season three, though I am grateful.

I'm starting to get a bit worried that it's turning formulaic, you know, he finds someone who understands him and then offs them.

[woodsman]

Yeah tis a bit. I actually really enjoyed the first season Doakes may not be the greatest acted part but he brought some variety and the twists were pretty well hidden.

Hopefully season four will break out of any plot circles and remain fresh.

Dexter has been a huge fav of mine since the first ep. Michael C Hall does so great job that i can never go near the books before the series end.

S1,S2 was better than S3 but having seen 6 eps of S4 i must say its fresh,exciting again.

Trust me its not as formulatic as season 3 which was weak at times with his new friend that was a twisted killer too.

I love the series. But it is best unedited. Of course they did air it here in the USA on national TV (during the summer I believe) but it was edited in which I didn't watch it. I prefer it on Showtime. It's not as good when it's cut up. LOLOL

I actually watched the edited version of season 1 on CBS when it broadcast a while ago. Based on that, I fell in love with the show. I just finished season 2 and am blown away by how good it was. Can't wait to start on season 3.

[Connavar]

You must watch the unedited versions of the first two seasons. They are the best series and there is no point to edited version since they remove everything that make Dexter shocking,original.

I have read what they have done.

Its not a teen drama its about a sick serial killer with a code his father gave him that keeps in control.

Just watched the first 5 episodes of season 4 and loving it hugely! This is going to be a great season I feel.

[Niolani]

I think I should get the DVD's then, I didn't even think about TV stations editing- duh! Finally finished season 3 here so I think the DVD's will be the way to go.

I love this show! Michael C Hall is outstanding as Dexter.

IMO the only significant weak point in the series is his wife. I can't remember her name, no matter how hard I try. Julie Benz (who did a good job playing vampire Darla in Buffy) gets more and more annoying with each episode. That syrupy-sweet, whiny voice! I wouldn't blame Dexter if he decided to introduce her to his Dark Passenger.

Season 4 is great though. John Lithgow is deliciously evil as Trinity. He's such a treat to watch. I loathe Trinity but at the same time I want him to stay because it's such a pleasure watching Lithgow. Trinity scares me witless and I love it.

[woodsman]

Yeah, Trinity is superbly written - so unpredictable. The twists and turns this season have me feeling a little travel sick.

I love Dexter. I've only seen Seasons 1 and 2 (on DVD), but I'm looking to see Season 3 soon (every time I check at the rental store, though, they only have disc 2 and not disc 1, so I'm waiting...wish I could buy it, as I did the first two seasons, but can't afford it at the moment).

The writing is great, and I love Dexter's inner monologue. It is an amazing accomplishment that the writers have taken a character that we should hate because of the things he does and makes the audience love him.

I don't like her either. In fact I didn't care for Darla much at all on Buffy. I think it's her voice. It's too girlie. Boy do I sound conceited or what?

[Connavar]

Anyone see the ending ?

Heh i have always liked Rita. She is very nice and made Dexter get feelings like a human when he saw he loved her,the kids.

She is a huge part of the series.
