I read about this show in Entertainment Weekly, and I have to say it's one of the most interesting premises I've heard in a long time. A serial killer who only kills people who "deserve" it, like other murderers and rapists. It's on Showtime, and unfortunently I don't get that channel. Does anybody watch it and if you do does it live up to it's premise?

I thought it looked pretty interesting, whether entirely original or not... unfortunately I've had a lot of shows to catch up on so I didnt start it yet, and no my computer is in rough shape for probably a few days./
I'd be curious what anyone around here thought as well, but it definitely looks like it could be great to me.
Also it sounds pretty rad.
naw I knew what you were doing, you just tend to do it like an untrained animal.
no hard feelings or anything, 'twas in jest.

They are indeed.
Dexter himself is the gay brother from Six Feet Under, and I just can't get that out of my mind. GO figure. I mean I watched that series for what, 5, 6 years?
The supporting cast I think is pretty horrid.
I think I'll stick to Brotherhood for now.
It is rad.
I am dissapointed.
Boondock Saints I believe?
Awesome movie.
The show is all right, I always thought the source material would work better as a visual medium.
I can never think the sister is bad.
She was in this really bad horror movie playing a cazy chick that pretended to have a twin sister and killed people.
Compared to that, she deserves an fricken Emmy for this show.

a) Dexter's dad. He's not dead...ooooooooooooooooooooh!
or
b) Dexter's split personality. [/spoiler:4b46a1b915]
Also, the guy who plays Angel is awful.
[spoiler:4b46a1b915]Lara Croft BJ for Dex, FTW, though. [/spoiler:4b46a1b915] :winky:
Dexter as a character is really, really interesting. Not entirely unsympathetic, definitely not normal and yet in so many ways he really is a hero. He's fantastic with children, protects his girlfriend, rewards the good and delivers justice to the bad. He just does the latter in a deliciously creepy cold-blooded way.
I think the sister is great. She's goofy and her speech is nerve-ridden which I consider traits of the character rather than bad acting on the actress's part. I think all the performances are great. The cinematography's pretty awesome at times, too.
My girlfriend always complains about the opening sequence, since he shaves, but in later shots is shown to be unshaven. It bugs her a lot.
The actress who plays the sister reminds me of Rebecca Pidgeon. I never really did figure out whether she was deliberately giving a quirky offputting performance, or whether she just sucks as an actress. I think I'll settle on the latter, though.
The little character development parts for each character is where the show shines, getting a glimpse of the supporting character's lives, like [spoiler:06a40fc1d9]Angel worrying about an anniversary present, then finding out he's going through a rough time in his marriage, and he gives the gift to his daughter. Or the one cop being used as bait to catch a drug lord.[/spoiler:06a40fc1d9]
Also, Rita, Dexter's girlfriend, nailed the part of a damaged, vulnerable woman trying to put her life back together. The previews they showed for the later episodes have me excited for what isto come.
He's the latino cop who's friends with Dexter. He has his own little mini-storyline in episode 4 that was funny and sad at the same time.
The ending to episode 4 was awesome, definitely watch the episode if you get a chance. It even redeems the lady who plays bitchy head cop by a little bit.
It says "OX"?
I got my housemate and her boyfriend into Dexter, (as well as my ex) so I usually wait until they're free so we can all watch it together
"Its a clover"
Haha, those parts made me chuckle. I love how dense Dexter can be when it comes to human interaction sometimes.
t Janson - yeah, I force my roommate to watch it with me, though thank god we have tivo, or I would never catch it. Its great to watch it with someone else, the creepy parts don't seem so creepy.
Also, for US viewers, Showtime is running a marathon of all Dexter episodes saturday night, i think. So its a good time to catch up.
Just got rid of Showtime, but I've seen the first few episodes. I'll have to torrent the rest until the DVDs come out.
