Dexter -The Complete First Season

Pros: Well-written, original series.
Cons: Some graphic scenes are going to be needed in a story about a serial killer.

For me, the writer's strike of '07-'08 was actually a good thing. Missing my favorite TV shows wasn't a big deal; in fact, it enabled me to do two things: 1) finally watch the 20 hours of saved TV shows and movies on my TiVo, leaving more than 15 ...

Pros: Very entertaining, unique show with good cast.
Cons: Could be too gory for some people.  Few characters can be annoying at times.

Over the last several years, some of the premium movie channels have started airing original shows in addition to movies.  Showtime began to air Dexter in 2006 and the show has been very popular.  I've read and heard good things about ...

Pros: great acting, superb cast, original storytelling, doesn't pull punches, intriguing plotlines
Cons: none

Dexter is unlike anything else on television, and when the show got its start on Showtime with the first season several years ago, they immediately have a hit on their hands.  Though the ratings weren't as good as some of the other ...

Pros: Title character is perfectly cast. Flawless mix of humor and suspense.
Cons: How many real-life Dexters exist? Only 12 episodes per season.

Dexter. When I was growing-up, boys with names like Dexter, Clarence, Blair and Maurice were teased to no end by their classmates. For this reason, I vowed never to use the nickname Dick; though, until convinced otherwise, some teachers insisted upon ...

Pros: Everything- Casting, Acting, Writing, Look, Feel, Everything
Cons: The amount of time it took me to come up with the above title.

“Have you seen Dexter?” I raise my head from my computer at work. It’s Vanessa, a good friend and the television savant that got me hooked on LOST. Due to this, I respect her decision when it comes to new shows and my attention ...

Pros: Intriguing story, good acting, subtle twists and turns.
Cons: Occasionally graphic, not for younger viewers.

My daughter started telling me about Dexter during the first season. We were all fans of Michael C. Hall because of Six Feet Under. I was a little startled that my daughter told me that he was a serial killer that I'd LIKE. I appreciate acting. I ...

Pros: Amazingly well written, acted, produced, shot, etc.  A masterpiece.
Cons: The Serial Killer is the HERO!  I will never look at Hefty bags the same.

Pros: Thoroughly entertaining. Great cast, well written.
Cons: Seasons One and Two are over, waiting for Three

Dexter is a thoroughly entertaining, witty, macabre series from Showtime starring Michael C Hall. Michael C Hall has previously portrayed David Fisher, a gay, repressed mortician, in HBO’s series Six Feet Under. I was a fan of the series and ...

Pros: Very well written, and extremely compelling.
Cons: Morally troublesome.

The Showtime series "Dexter" is based on a novel (Darkly Dreaming Dexter), which I haven’t read, by an author with whom I am not familiar (Jeff Lindsay). The serial killer in this DVD of the first season, like the pop comic superhero, ...

Cons: none

THE PREMISE During the day, Dexter Morgan is a mild-mannered blood spatter analyst with the Miami Police Department.  But come the night, he takes a walk on the sinister side, as he tracks down evil-doers who have somehow eluded the ...

Pros: New angle on murder mysteries
Cons: Some actors are weaker than others

I work in the motion picture industry, yet I had never heard of "Dexter" until after the first season aired on Showtime. Hmmm, maybe because I didn't subscribe to Showtime - just a guess. My wife and I were in our local video shop one rainy weekend. ...

Pros: Fantastic dark comedy/drama about a serial killer.
Cons: Not for the weak of stomach or children.

Television has been called a vast wasteland. I've heard people rant and rave for years about having so many channels and nothing to watch on TV. And then I started looking at two things. The first was my television watching schedule which has actually ...

Pros: Good ensemble, unique concept
Cons: Quite dark for some, not for the squeamish, uninspired DVD set

Initially, I didn't think much of Dexter because it only contributes to the ongoing cliche of "cops, doctors & lawyers" television concept. That is, every year with dime a dozen pilots about the aforementioned professions gets old. Seriously, who wants ...

Pros: An edgy fun crime show which has you rooting for the bad guy
Cons: That I don't have SHOtime at home

”Dexter” (premiered in 2006) is a SHOtime original show based on the books by, Jeff Lindsay. Although I have never read the books that the show is based on I think that I may have to look into reading them because I like this show so much! I’ll try ...

Pros: Excellent lead performance, and the thrill of "siding" with a psycho
Cons: Sometimes safer and "cuter" than it should be.

I guess my biggest complaint about DEXTER is that it isn't nasty ENOUGH. The premise if phenomenal...Dexter is a blood-spatter expert investigating murders by day and a murdered of killers by night. By channeling his impulses to kill in a "helpful" ...
