View Full Version : "Dexter" is the best TV show.
I mean honestly people, why aren't we watching it? It's not like it's impossible to find, and it's not like episodes aren't progressively better than the last, meaning each episode is the best episode, because they are.
The show is about a serial killer raised by his adoptive dad to murder without being caught, he hunts criminals that escape the law in order to feed his murdering addiction, but as well as this he works as a a blood spatter analyst. The greatest part of the show, and it's biggest success, is showing how normal Dexter is even though he does all of this, you side with him the entire time, which is amazing given that the actor playing him does a fantastic job of making him as a wooden emotionless shell.
It's darkly funny, really shocking in some occasions, and each episode ends with you wanting more.
Srsly, go find it, it's on FX pretty regularly, and you can find it illegally.
Man I was watching it last year, dexter 4 leif.

i watched the first episode and thought it was awesome, but the second episode took too long to download so i got bored of the whole thing.

it's a great concept and michael c hall is sublime
shit is hitting the fan right now though holy shit. what will come of the bay harbor butcher???
Michael C Hall is just the best actor ever, they could not have chosen anyone better for the role, he plays a sociopathic killer attempting to act normal so well.

he really does. he is so good. but yeah i echo what mat has said, i considered making this thread myself a while ago.. but didn't
you guys should definitely watch it, it would be fun to get a discussion going on round here. like about you know and you know and their generations divided sex. is it supposed to be so gross. some of the stuff she says is fucking disgusting
I'm only at the bit where you know and you know are obviously leading up to the sex, but I think she's only really doing it because he's the most obvious "safe choice" for a boyfriend, after what happened last time.
But yeah, it's werid.

Dexter Morgan. This show is the best, I searched for a topic before, but never found one. I do love how he portrays Dexter as being so emotionless, so cold, yet almost learning to love. Really is an all around amazing show.
Although, can I request we use spoiler tags for season 2 related issues? I know of one from someone else blabbing to me, lucky it was the same mentioned here. But i'd just like to see spoiler tags since I'm not engaging in illegal activities and I don't know when season 2 will air in the UK. Hopefully when FX sets up FX HD, since season 2 is hi def, right?

I was put off by the trailers leading up to it on FX. It just seemed like the most desperate attempt to find a gimmick for a new police show.
Although, I've never watched it so it could be good but the trailers just made me think it was a joke.

I think it worked as its not only well made but the fact its an original idea makes it that so much better among all the current crime shows. E.G bones, cold case, Ncis(or whatever it is) The CSI lot, and so on. It really got the angle right.
The 2nd season is starting to get really deathnote.
Which is not a bad thing at all.
