Hey, does anyone watch "Dexter" on Showtime?
Gawd, what a great show. I was a big fan of Huff, so I'm glad Showtime has given us something else. Who knows, maybe I'm by myself here.

8. My wife watches it
I'm thinking about checking it out, but I'm trying to get caught up on other shows first. I'll have to use the on demand feature for all of it.

2. Love it. I need to get the book that it's based on. Some things that I think that
are happening in the show that I need to know more about to see if I'm on the right track.

9. Next week is going to be horrible!
And I mean that in the best way. A murder scene that even Dexter can't handle! :bounce:

11. Oh yeah ...

Good stuff, there.

Of course I worry that it'll be just like every other good show Showtime has created (read ... _Dead Like Me_) and disappear once it really gets a following.

12. I miss dead like me...
Im catching it now on scifi and am sad that it didn't last.. It had great potential

Dexter? god i LOVE that show.. After the first time I saw it I didn't think I would be able to watch it. It really disturbed me and I am pretty squeamish. Im glad I stuck it out..

stalker...

15. I had the same odd response to this that I do to Monk...
In Monk, the title character is supposed to be so out there with obsessive compulsive that he needs a nurse with him at all times, but I know several members of my family that are worse than he is and yet live unsupervised.

With Dexter, some of his thoughts to himself, "why does this guy think I'm his friend?" "the perfect girl, so damaged she can't see through me..." seem within the range of normal alienation.

I'll have to wait for the DVDs because I don't get Showtime. :-(

OE: But I am going to check out those books.
