1 and 3 are kind of like the first and third Star Wars movies. A little more upbeat and entertaining. The second is much darker and introspective in an Empire Strikes Back kind of way.

I will say that the writers have done a phenomenal job with Dexter's character arc. It's been a dialectical process, vacillating from Harry's code to Lila's proselytizing from S1 to S2 and then finding his way back home after S3, all the while mirroring the evolution of his own identity.
I just love how he's constantly right on the edge, one bad move away from getting caught.

I don't know his name, and haven't looked him up on imdb yet, but the guy plays Dexter is phenominal. He's got that perfect blend of creepy and conartist needed for the role.

I loved the 2nd season with him and the cop going back and forth and setting him up. The british chick was a great charector also.

Has anyone heard when season 3 comes out on dvd?

chiefsfan987 05-09-2009 02:58 PM
I don't have showtime but I love this show. Does anyone know if CBS will be re-airing this season in summer like they did last season?

If I can give you one piece of advice - do not watch it on CBS - it changes the whole show when you take away the cussing/graphic killing, etc. It's not even the same show on CBS in my opinion

Just get the DVDs if you want to watch it

Valiant 07-09-2009 02:23 AM
Just watched the last episode of dexter season 3.. When is dexter going to kill his **** of a sister.. Was cheering during Quarantine when she died.. Horrible actor..

KCChiefsMan 07-09-2009 02:28 AM
I just started season 2. I love the show, I know they need a story and everything. But I think I liked it better in early season 1 where Dexter just didn't care about anything and was going after the bad guys. But I still like the show a lot.

Precisely why I gave him that advice. I didn't see any of the CBS episodes so I don't know how they managed to try to get around all that stuff

dexter is probably the best written/acted show I have ever seen. Michael C. Hall really puts himself into his character, it's great!

okcchief 07-31-2009 07:01 AM
I'm ready for season 4!

The preview looks awesome.

Lzen 10-16-2009 01:28 PM
So I had a 3 month free preview of HBO and Showtime. Saw the previews for Dexter and decided to check it out. John Lithgow as the Trinity Killer was intriguing. Watched only 2 or 3 episodes and canceled HBO an Showtime. But I'm happy to discover that Netflix has the full seasons. Good thing, too, because I was a little baffled at how Dexter became domesticated like he is now. A domesticated serial killer. That is some weird shit. Yet, very cool and interesting.

Dexter is by far my favorite show, it's brilliant and Michael C Hall is a fantastic actor

yeah they spend much time building up the story but boy does it pay off at the end.

Great show - Started watching it on netflix via roku and have been hooked since.

Showtime has Season 4 Episode 1 to play on demand online. Check it out

Pasta Little Brioni 10-18-2009 08:00 AM
Don't watch many TV shows, but love this one. It would suck for Lundy if he spent all this time tracking Trinity....only to become his next victim.

I was caught so off guard, I had to rewind it to make sure I heard her right. I hated that girl anyway. She's almost as annoying as Rita.

Sully 11-23-2009 11:31 AM
Ever since I found out that the guy who plays Dexter is married to the girl who plays his sister, it adds a whole 'nother layer of creepy to the show.

Agreed. Damn good show last night. Totally unexpected at the ending of it.
This show and Sons of Anarchy are both tremendous this year.

Now I hadn't really heard about this myself, however I did a google search to find out for sure. That kinda does bring a new element of creepy to the show.

Michael C. Hall marries his "Dexter" sister
Fri Jan 9, 2009 7:27pm EST

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - "Dexter" star Michael C. Hall has married co-star Jennifer Carpenter, who plays his sister on the television show, the actor's representative said on Friday.

They wed on New Year's Eve in picturesque Big Sur, California, and she had a wedding ring linked to a bouquet, Hall's representative Craig Bankey said in a statement.

The ring was passed down from Carpenter's grandfather.

In "Dexter," Hall plays Dexter Morgan, a Miami police analyst who moonlights as a serial killer targeting sociopaths. Carpenter plays Debra Morgan, Dexter's adoptive sister, a tomboyish cop. "Dexter" is on U.S. cable channel Showtime.

Hall, 37, and Carpenter, 29, dated for a year and-a-half before being married, Bankey said.

I agree about the trinity killer. Is it me or does it seem to me like the actor they choose (not going to reveal for spoiler reasons and those that haven't got that far yet) is perfectly cast? I think it's an awesome season so far. One of my favorite shows on tv.

Lithgow is great (not a Spoiler) as Trinity

And the Episode last night - WOW the best of season 4 so far!

okcchief 11-23-2009 11:50 PM

we were talking about this at work-

We watched seasons 1-3 so fast that we could blow by the slow ones and didnt have to wait for the intense ones to air.

Now we are watching it as it airs and we can't get to the next one fast enough.

They have to have the slow ones in the begining to make it so good at the end!

The show definitely has it's own pace. Seems slow then, WHAM, not so slow. And not always in the places or ways you'd think.

L.A. Chieffan 11-25-2009 09:49 AM
I guess I'm the only one a little disappointed with this season. Way too many sub-plots and buildup. I get it Trinity is a bad guy. When Dexter was talking to the daughter by the roses I just wanted him to go in the house and waste the entire family, put them out of their misery.

Pink Paradise 2010 11-25-2009 12:03 PM
yes, its a really good show. it was nothing that i actually thought that it would be. but its pretty awesome :) i think that everyone has the thoughts that he has...LMAO

Why would you want that? The family is messed up because trinity made them that way. They don't need to be put out of their misery, they just need trinity dead so they can be free finally. They're victims. Dexter is finding that out now himself.

KCChiefsMan 11-25-2009 12:38 PM

Because the show has become boring. Dexter has become predictable. A predictable serial killer. Yawn.

That's probably why I didn't notice it as much. I watched season 1 and 2 in about two or three weeks and watched the first part of season 3 in about a few days before I was caught up.

It didn't even cross my mind until I read your post but I'm absolutely positive we're on the same page.

EDIT: And then I see the reveal at the end moments after I post and it's incredibly obvious.

I don't know the one where him and black detective were playing cat and mouse and the insane english girl was pretty good. But, yes, this is turning out to be a damn good season after its usual slow start.

No kidding.

Best villain I've seen in a while. Though, I wish it was a little more ambiguous as to who the villain really is. As it is, Dexter is the "hero".

yeah but he is evolving. He has a family now so he felt bad for the innocent kid and saved him instead of killing off trinity.

Lithgow meeting him in the middle of the police station and coming face to face and saying "Hello Dexter" with that smile. Very good acting.

MMXcalibur 12-10-2009 10:04 AM
Lithgow alone has made this season of Dexter the best yet. It was odd seeing him as a a the villanous type because I always remember him as the eccentric alien from "3rd Rock from the Sun". However, it wasn't until the other day that I remembered he was in 'Cliffhanger' with Sylvester Stallone as the villain....so I guess it's not entirely out of the norm for him.

You missed one hell of a season. Tonight was the season finale.

I didn't think this show could shock me any more. But the last 10 minutes were absolutely shocking. I had to keep telling myself that this is just a show, and that these are only fictional characters.
