Have any of you guys heard of that show Dexter that airs on Showtime? My buddy who is obsessed with it has been trying to get me to watch it just told me that CBS is going to start airing the first season starting February 17. I've seen a couple of episodes and it looks like a super incredible show. I love CSI and shows like that so I know this is going to become a favorite of mine. I like the whole idea of rooting for the bad guy, because I guess the main character is a serial killer, who kills bad people.. sounds interesting right?

Great show, hopefully they don't decide to start censoring it.

Yeah, I'm a big fan of the show. I've been watching it since it first premiered on showtime and I've seen both seasons. It's a great show. Michael C. Hall is incredible.

I'll check it out on CBS to see how they do it. Of course theres swearing but there's a lot of violence obviously and in the second season there's a lot of sex and nudity. I think it's nice they're getting it out there so more people can see it's greatness, but I don't want it to do so well that they move it to CBS and water it down and turn it into another CSI type show or something. I want it to stay on Showtime in all it's half season bloody glory.

Yea I think it's cool that CBS is going to be airing it because its giving non-Showtime subscribers an opportunity to watch! I really loved Michael C. Hall was amazing in six feet under as well... I'm really eager to see how he plays out this role. From what I have seen he does a superb job of making the viewer forget that he in fact is a murderer!

I've been watching Dexter ever since its debut on Showtime for 2 yrs and now the switch to Primetime on CBS.

I've been waiting to see the edited version of the 1st episode on Sunday and it showed the news?

What the heck happened?

Did anybody see Dexter last night?
creidesca
Dexter aired last night here in So. California on CBS. What region are you from?

I caught Dexter on CBS this Sunday, I was so happy with the editing. I am a huge fan of the show already, and wanted to revisit season one! It is so amazing, and Michael C Hall is such a brilliant actor. I loved that episode.. What did you guys think?
HeffyEnd
mini cooper I MISSED IT.

What was the editing like? Did they just mute the curse words like the cable networks that show Six Feet Under and The Sopranos do?
ponkie
^ I think they changed the F word to freaking because we all know Doakes likes to say that around Dexter. ^^v There were also some silencing of other cuss words. My favorite, motherlover. lol
obezag8
HeffyEnd the editing was fantastic. Seriously, the only thing that was changed was the language and other than that you could barley notice any changes! I am so happy with how CBS handled the editing. All of my friends are obsessed with Dex now.. I love it
suki_*

This is probably my favorite show on tv now. Technically the 1st episode of Season 3 premiers tomorrow on Showtime, but I think most of us know that it has been leaked on the internet for a while. I wonder where they're going to head this season. I'm a little worried. I get worried whenever shows diverge from the original plotline of whatever they're based on, but I did like season 2 so I'm hoping season 3 is more of the same quality and attention to detail they need with a series like this.

gisbiz
yup, this is also one of my favorite t.v. shows.

"Her husband’s a crack head and her boyfriend's a serial killer, it's kind of hard not to take that personally."

LOL

i love the dark humor in this show so much.. XD
P a p e r_C l i p
One of my favourite shows
they'll prolly censor a lot of it though, lots of nudity, sex & blood o.o its pretty gory
M0NSTER*
One of my favorite shows <3 And the dark humor is so good and on point.

Is it bad that I hate that he has a friend? sad.gif
suki_*
^^^

yeah it's kinda dangerous in this situation... having a friend for business like that isn't the greatest thing, especially how his friend is in the position and power to backfire at him any moment if he wanted to.

Like a thousand hiding voices whispering: "This is who you are". And you fight the pressure, the growing need rising like a wave, prickling and teasing and prodding to be fed. But the whispering gets louder, until it's screaming: "Now!". And it's the only voice you hear... the only voice you want to hear. And you belong to it... to this... shadow self. To this...

I LOVE THE QUOTES!!

This show is amazing, this thread needs a bump. I watched Seasons 1 and 2 with my friend on DVD. I don't think I could bring myself to watch it on regular TV (don't have showtime), I don't think I could stand them censoring it. Some stuff you just need uncensored to make the show as great as it is.

Anyway, it's almost frustrating, it's one of those shows you try to explain to people to get them to watch it, but no matter what you say it doesn't do that ACTUAL show any justice. Dexter is just amazing. Love the dark humour, the cleverness, the gore, the mystery, the relationships, everything.

This show does an amazing job at making you hate people too. Everyone you're supposed to hate, I despise with a passion as planned. Like Doakes, LaGuerta, freaking LILA, I can't stand them all. I was really surprised at the end of Season 2, too! But then there's Angel and Masuka and I love them to death. biggrin.gif

-secret bump- ph34r.gif
^ I agree. And at times you kinda hate Dexter too for being such a douche to Rita by cheating on her lol. I even got frustrated with Rita too for not letting Paul visit his own kids. I could tell that he really loved them too.

Dude I looooove this show. I watched 2 seasons in literally 2 days. LOL I have no life. I freaking love Dexter.
jedi_baby
I love Dexter too! I'm upset that I don't have the channel that shows Dexter so I have to wait for it to come out on DVD or watch it online T.T Hahaha.

Yeah, it's sometimes frustrating to watch Dexter because he's trying so hard to be the perfect guy but he really isn't and he doesn't know how to be one other than through lies. And you can't blame him for lying either cuz if the people knew he was a serial killer, their lives would be devastated (and he'd be found out). BUT IT IS SO GOODDD.

I wonder if there are audio books where it's Michael C. Hall reading it. LOL. It'd make for a good bedtime story.

i also adore this show!! it's amazing and i love the dark hero that is Dexter! i'm really far behind though. i just started this recently and i'm almost done with season 1!
