Default Dexter

Anybody watch this show? If you're not familiar with it, here is the premise:

Quote:
Based on novels by author Jeff Lindsay, Dexter follows the life of Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall), a charismatic blood spatter analyst who works in the forensics at the Miami Metro Police Department. On the outside, Dexter seems like the perfect guy -- he has a sister, Debra (Jennifer Carpenter), that adores him and a steady girlfriend, Rita (Julie Benz), with two kids that look up to him. However, what they don't know is that Dexter moonlights as a serial killer, only he isn't your typical killer. Basing his life on the teachings of his foster father, Dexter only kills people who truly deserve it: he ensures that those who got away with horrible crimes will never kill again.
If you haven't watched it, I highly recommend giving it a shot. It's one of my favorite shows on television and is very well written. The intricacies of the main character are very well done and it seems to be written with a lot of care. I honestly didn't think I'd like it when I first heard the premise, but I was absolutely hooked from the first episode on. The only real gripe I have with the show is Jennifer Carpenter's acting. She's okay, but can really grate on your nerves at some points. Other than that I can't say enough about the show. So...any other Dexter fans out there besides me?

I don't get HBO but my sister buys them. Jennifer is pretty funny, potty mouth mostly. xD

I thought the First Season was epic man!

yeah, I love Dexter. I own the first and second seasons on dvd and I read/have the first book, Darkly Dreaming Dexter, and I love it too, its a really good book, in my opinion, almost better than the show. 'course it helps how Michael C. Hall is totally gorgeous.


and I agree that Jennifer Carpenter is hot. XD

Ooh, did you guys know that Michael and Jennifer are actually married outside the show? thats a fun fact!

Dexter's a pretty good show but I haven't liked season 2 and 3 as much as I did the first. To me it seems like each season it gets a little more out there in terms of the shit he gets away with. I'm on board with a serial killer who works as forensics, but then he starts hanging out with that DA guy or whoever it was....I dunno. It just seems like every season goes down a notch, for me at least. I keep watching though, in hopes it returns to how the first was.

Yeah, I wasn't as big of a fan of the past couple of seasons as the first one, but even so it's better than most things you find on television these days. I hope it returns to first season form, but I'll watch regardless lol.
