Dexter, latepass

[Trembling Eagle]

Just now catching this show
wow it is TERRIBLE. Which just goes to show how important writing and directing are because the main actor was awesome in 6 Feet Under. Just God awful dialogue, it could work as a parody maybe that's what they are going for.

I like the black guy though.

That show is all about the characters, and even then, that can get pretty thin. I trudged through both seasons in a week a couple months back, and S2 was really rough to finish I remember.

Also, I could never get over the idea that I was supposed to be rooting for Dexter, as they loved to paint him as some Batman/Punisher anti-hero type most of the time, stock with his own origin story played out over S1.

From what I heard, the third book in the series really takes a dump on everything and went all supernatural, Dexter's killer obsession had something to do with some demon who fed off his whatever. Shit you not.

Yeah, I really don't like that show. Showtime seems to constantly miss the mark with its original series'----great ideas, bad scripts. Also, every show is lit like a soft porn movie.

I like the black guy though.

If he's the only reason you would continue to watch, you won't make it to season three! I've enjoyed following Dexter, but it's never over-the-top compellavision, like I wish it was.

what?!  i thought he was messed up because he was locked in a shipping container with his brother swimming in the blood of his two dead parents. 

i guess sometimes its never that simple.

Man, that sounds soooo bad. Yikes.

[Sarah]

Bad, cheap, and lazy.

[Jouster]

Total trash.

I've downloaded the first episode of the third season, have yet to watch it. No high hopes though. Liked/loved the first season, tolerated/half-hated the second. I fear things can only get worse.

We've had this discussion before, but I liked the first season, but on good counsel will not bother with any of the others.

I found the show kind of enjoyably dumb, like American Psycho.

Dexter's AA sponsor really ruined Season 2 for me. Both the character and the actress who played her were infuriating.

Also, I don't think the series is going to follow the book's supernatural plot line. It's already veered off from the source material considerably.

she's the sultry, smoky, hot chic that gets real close and intimate and personal, but thinks she's being totally platonic about it while the girlfriend (who i also dont like) freaks out on the inside.  


note: ive only seen disc one of season two for this entire show and i feel like i could trash talk this whole show.

I am sticking with Monxter.
