More Pictures Based on Jeff Lindsay's novel "Darkly Dreaming Dexter," this new crime thriller tells the story of a strange man named Dexter Morgan. Once an abused and abandoned child, Dexter is now a successful forensics pathologist...but lurking just beneath his charismatic personality is a terrible truth. Dexter has corralled his innate homicidal urges into a closely guarded second career: He hunts down and brutally murders those vicious criminals who have managed to avoid the clutches of the law.

My second brilliant discovery of the week... the other one was the new version of Robin Hood currently being produced by the BBC

What makes Dexter so good?  Everything! ... including *taking a deep breath* ... his girlfriend is played by Julie Benz

Hopefully one of the channels will pick it up so those that do not download programs can see this brilliant piece of television



oh the synopsis was sourced from

Sounds very interesting and hope it does get picked up here.

Has a bit of 'The Equalizer' about it which I like.

I guess there is the sort of vigilante justice that was in the equalizer, except Edward Woodward didn't exactly to what Dexter does to his victims

I've seen promos (on the internet) of this series and it looks like it could be good.

Maybe The Equalizer meets The Punisher?!...lol

I love dexter!!

Its quite dark, and a good mystery laced throughout too.

I've finally caught on to this show and it's brilliant!

A forensic scientist by day and a serial killer by night. He does like his Glad wrap.

I loved the twist with the 'Ice Truck Killer'.

Can't wait for the second season

speaking of Dexter... there is a neat article about it here:

http://thetvaddict.com/2007/03/08/2007-paley-festival-recap-dexter/

its a recap of some festival thing, but they talk to the cast and there are some nice S2 spoilers in there.



and they asked they question:

How much of the second season is going to be drawn from the second book?



Which I thought was fitting, considering how the first book ended, but interesting too.

and.... "the second season of DEXTER premieres at the end of September."

Quoted from Morgan_Pym

I told you it was good!

Plus an original story line

True. You haven't steered me wrong.... yet

True. You haven't steered me wrong.... yet

Stick with me kid & I'll make you a ... nevermind, I'll just steer you over a dangerous precipice into uncertain viewing habits

I really don't like the character of the sister & I'm not sure if it's the actor or the character.  I think it's the actor.  

Just finished watching season 1 of this unique and fantastic show.  Absolutely love it.  Can't wait for season 2.  Would be great if they would show it here, but don't think any of the networks will pick it up.

Your not alone about the sister.  She is so annoying.

This comes out on dvd in the US on August 21st...i've pre-ordered my copy ....not everyone has fast internet and the inkling to pinch shows
