I have been watching FAR too much Dexter recently. (Almost finished with season 3.)

Well my son is called Dexter so i guess I'm a fan of his :azn:
Not watched the TV show properly yet though.

Dexter is awesome, one of the best shows on tv.

I think the first season was the best, but this season wasn't bad at all.

There were actually times during the first season that i thought he might get killed, that was what made it interesting.

I'll have to disagree with you rgirty..I think the second season was the best of the three! I was pretty sure Dexter was going to be uncovered.

It's a great show...I love the dark humour in it...I just hope the show doesn't go soft now that he'll have a kid! I love ebil Dexter!!

It had me, and then it lost me.

There's only so long before the interest of equating social outcast to vigilante serial killer gets a little old.

In any case, I really enjoyed the first season, back when it was a character analysis. The whole attempt to make him more human lost me - as the more human he becomes, the more reprehensible his character is.

Well, surodat if you would have stayed with it i think you would have seen him do some crazy things that lead to him being what he is.

The show to me is about his constant struggle to be normal, while fighting the beast inside him that forces him to kill.

rgirty is right.

The first season was glam, horror, and awe. It made YOU battle with the ethics behind Dexter, and trying to know if he was good or bad. The second season was Dexter fighting with this, and understanding where he came from.

The third season well...Miguel!!! Come on! Their relationship was sick and twisted.

In the second and third season the show expanded from the gore, guts, and shock, to understanding the indepth persona of Dexter, and his battle with knowing what's right and wrong, and controling who he is.

I did watch the first and second seasons.

The end of the second season astounded me.

In the first season we get introduced to Dexter as living by his code passed down from Harry - using his disconnectedness to forge a connectedness. I found that interesting. By the end of the second season he's just killing for self-interest and tangled projections of imagined responsibility. I find that simply contemptible.

That's why I stopped watching.

I really empathized with him at the beginning of the series, by the end of the second there was nothing left for me to empathize with.

Surodat, Watch the third season.

Get it from blockbuster/netflix usenet, torrent or whatever.

I like you did not enjoy the 2nd season, however my wife did. The third season was much much better than the second IMO.

His sister is fairly interesting as well, their off screen relationship makes the show even more interesting.

I'm not sure when she was afflicted with bell's palsy but it gives her quite a quirky appearance.

I am fairly sure she didn't have it when she starred in the exorcism of emily rose. A lot of people don't realize that most of the "effects" in that movie were not actually cgi effects and were just performed by her.

[quote= from the wiki}Carpenter first attracted critical attention for her performance in The Exorcism of Emily Rose; she earned the role partially due to her ability to contort her body and face in frightening ways (as Scott Derrickson explains on the DVD commentary, pointing out that most of her "demonic" contortions were achieved without the use of visual effects). She took home the 2006 MTV Movie Award for "Best Frightened Performance", and also received a Hollywood Life Breakthrough Award.[/quote]

George clooney has also been afflicted, but it is barely noticeable.

For those of you who are criminal minds fan, you may have noticed joe montagne has also been afflicted.

I'm not sure of when he was afflicted, however I don't recall it during joan of arcadia or some of his work like thinner.

Anyhow, get season 3, it is good and there aren't many episodes.

I may like the show more than most as I was a fan of dexter (the actor portraying dexter) from six feet under.

Which I thought was a very good show, that kind of went off course but had one of the best "wrap ups" of any show ever... very wild in a montage form.
