Test4VitalSigns Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Anybody ever watch this new show? I believe it's on Showtime in the States. Have to add it to my list of fav TV shows Dexter is a forensics CSI investigator (who specializes in blood spatter). While he work for the Miami police by day, at night he is a serial killer. But with a twist. Dexter only kills people who are killers (and other bad people) who he believes have escaped justice. A vigilante I guess you would say. The show also deals with him trying to act "normal" in life because he has all the characteristics of a serial killer (for ex. a lack of emotional feelings) yet only reserves to kill those who deserve to die according to him. Sometimes there is a dark comedic feel to the show as he goes thru this. (He narrates the show as well) Good writing and acting and plotlines ( including an ongoing investigation with a serial killer who seems to know about Dexter and engages in mind games with him). Dexter is played by Michael C. Hall who Six Feet Under fans know as David Fisher(the gay funeral home director). An excellent actor who handles this role very well. Only seen the first 5 shows but I really like this show! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can't wait for the Tuesday night updates of TMN OnDemand so we can see the next episode.

goose Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 They were running the episodes the other night. I saw the one where they thought they had caught the ice truck killer, and Dexter was seeing a psychiatrist. This is a brilliant show. My wife saw the intro and expressed her disgust, asking me how I could watch it. She stayed to watch the whole episode. Dexter & Weeds are my favorite shows on tv, but I don't have Showtime. Only see them on the freeviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
