01.07.10 | Never seen it. What's it about? |
feav233
01.07.10 | its one show i keep meaning to get into |
Inveigh
01.07.10 | it's the greatest show in the history of shows. It's about a blood spatter analyst for the Miami-Dade homicide department who witnessed his mother murdered by chainsaw at a young age and was adopted by a cop. His disturbing childhood effectively created an unquenchable thirst to kill that his adopted father recognized early on. So, he taught him how to kill without getting caught and also taught him only to kill those who deserve it -- other killers.
Awesomeness ensues. |
Foxhound
01.07.10 | Sounds like CSI or other cop shows, I doubt I'll watch it. |
Inveigh
01.07.10 | It's nothing like CSI or any other cop show. It's about the mind of a serial killer who desperately just wants to be a normal husband, father and brother. |
Foxhound
01.07.10 | I reread the description twice and it sounds better because he's a cop who kills people. Now I might watch. |
Inveigh
01.07.10 | you should man, it's a brilliant character study of a serial killer who kills other killers. But it's so much more than that, it's hard to explain. There's also 4 books which were the inspiration for the show. |
Taxt
01.07.10 | I watched the whole series over the last few months. A few things: 1- Michael C. Hall is so good in this show. 2- Jon Lithgow is creepy as hell. 3- Season 4 ending gets ;__;/10. |
Inveigh
01.07.10 | yeah, let's not spoil that ending for any unfortunate people who see this list before the show. But yeah, what a finale. I was simultaneously shocked, pissed and depressed all at once.
And John Lithgow should get an emmy for his performance in season 4. Michael C. Hall might just be the best male lead in a TV drama that I've ever seen. |
Foxhound
01.07.10 | Wait books? Now thats more my style, you know if they were any good? |
PanasonicYouth
01.07.10 | i'm reading Darkly Dreaming Dexter right now. shit is tight.
tv show is the tits |
Phantom
01.07.10 | Books are better than the show |
Inveigh
01.07.10 | Darkly Dreaming Dexter is the first one -- I own all 4, they're awesome. They go downhill after the first two, but still good. The TV show actually gets better from seasons 2-4 (season 1 is probably still my favorite though) |
myhigherpie
01.08.10 | I've been wanting to read the books for a while now.
the show is seriously one of the coolest shows around right now.
Season 4 left me shocked. I just didn't see anything like it coming, which is pretty rare. |
TheGreatD17
01.08.10 | The books get batshit crazy, the show is pretty much always awesome. |
Foxhound
01.08.10 | everyone has convinced me to watch Dexter tonight. |
shinfojoe
01.08.10 | oh yes. watch it |
Inveigh
01.08.10 | do it, but you gotta start with season 1 episode 1. it's the only way. |
BallsToTheWall
01.08.10 | Dexters dad is fucking Ajax from The Warrirors. How sweet is that?
As for the show, I have season 1 which i loved, and watched half of season 2 before I reached a hiatus. |
Inveigh
01.08.10 | season 2 was definitely my least favorite (although I still really liked it) because I thought Lyla was super annoying.
and yeah Balls, James Remar is the man. |
BallsToTheWall
01.08.10 | Miami seriously needs a guy like Dexter. |
Inveigh
01.08.10 | I think every major city needs a guy like Dexter, I could personally have used him last year when I got mugged for $80 and a pack of cigarettes on the el |
Inveigh
01.08.10 | and the first two books are pretty excellent in my opinion chan, albeit a little too wordy at times (Lindsay also attempts to blatantly use too many literary devices -- alliteration sounds dumb most of the time in the first two pages of a chapter, especially when it borders on peter piper pickled prunes type shit).
I will say the show's more entertaining though. |
SteelErectedb4you8er
01.08.10 | Yeah, this show is fucking great. I still have yet to see season 4 and it is eating me up. I hear John Lithgow is creepy ass bad guy, which I haven't really seen since cliffhanger. |
Inveigh
01.08.10 | oh man, John Lithgow OWNS as the Trinity Killer. It's probably his best performance ever, needs to win an emmy badly for it. |
YouAreMySilence
01.08.10 | Acually sounds really really good. If I ever see it on, I'll watch it. |
TRMshadow
01.08.10 | DEE DEE, GET OUT OF MY LABORATORY!!! |
