    Dexter

    Anyone else watch this PHENOMENAL show? Just thought I'd give the heads up for those of you non-showtime subscribers. CBS is going to start airing season one Feb 17!

    This show is excellent! Keeps you guessing constantly its one of the hardest shows to predict although there are a couple moments that were predictable but over all it keeps you on your toes. I very much enjoy it and can't wait for it to start back up. I won't watch them on CBS though they take too much out.

      Excellent program...on Showtime. Not sure how it will play out on CBS.

        It'll all depend on the editing. Any bets on whether we get good editors? :

          There is a lot that they will edit out and I wouldn't watch on CBS simply because they would be editing out to much and changing the show to much for me.

            They show this on FX over here. I like it when I get to see it - infrequently in fairness. I should watch it more - at lease set up a series link for record.

              This article is pretty informative and goes into detail about how the editing process is going to be done. I guess not that much is going to be taken out, only six minutes of the show in total, which really is nothing. I'm really excited for this to start. This show is my all time fav!

                I couldn't wrap myself around this concept. So, I chose not to get involved when I had a trial showtime, now on CBS, probably won't either. (Still probably going to get showtime back soon)

                  Did anyone ever end up watching the CBS version of Dexter? I've been so pleasantly surprised at how fantastic of a job they did editing the show. Nothing gets lost in the edits, Michael C. Halls character is still executed flawlessly and beautifully, and the storyline is just as twisted and engrossing as it is on Showtime.

                  Lex the concept is a pretty bizarre one but that is what is so cool about this show. The writing and acting allows the viewer to get so caught up in it that people end up rooting for a guy that is killing people. It's sickeningly awesome, and I have never seen anything like it! You should def give it a chance before writing it off...

                    I'm with you on this one. Since when does a homicidal sociopath get to be the hero? :cry:

                      Whoever said he's a hero? The show is a bit open ended and you sort of draw your own conclusion. They never portray him as a hero and most of the time its the other way around. It's just showing his life and whats happening in it.

                              Looks like it will be a good season. I'm a little sick of hearing about the "code" so it's nice to see Dexter break away from Dad's hold. The news at the end is a nice juxtaposition as long as it doesn't become a comedic gimmick.

                                  Excited for season 6. Started watching Season 1 a few weeks ago and could not pull myself away in my free time.

                                      Season 4 was one of the best, and most depressing.

                                            Season 4 was awesome. John Lithgow played an amazing adversary for Dexter. I believe he won an Emmy for his portrayal. And I'll never look at Thanksgiving dinner the same....yikes!

                                            A friend of mine encouraged me to watch Dexter and I too was reluctant due to the main theme. I even watched the first couple of episodes of season one and just wasn't impressed initially. A quirk of fate left me in a position to start watching Season 2 and SMACK! I was hooked like the proverbial large mouth bass.

                                            Keith Carradine played a FBI serial killer profiler and what an incredible cat and mouse game ensued between him and Dexter, with a few other surprises tossed in for good measure. I bought the dvd set and I ended up staying up later than I wanted several times because I had to start the next episode to see how Dexter would get out of the impossible situations he found himself in. This show is the absolute King of the Kliffhangers! Ha!
