Is Dexter worth watching?
 
Just noticed Netflix has it streaming, is it worth it?

Eulogy 03-10-2011 10:54 PM

season 1 definitely. season 2 yeah probably. the lithgow season definitely. the smits one... meh.

hnibos 03-10-2011 11:03 PM

Eulogy 03-10-2011 11:06 PM

slunken 03-10-2011 11:08 PM

hnibos 03-10-2011 11:14 PM

if he's so great then why does he have cancer

sppunk 03-10-2011 11:22 PM

I'll give it a shot, thanks guys. Though the storyline doesn't really strike me so I might find it unsettling for myself. We'll see.

I wish Boardwalk Empire and Mad Men started sooner than they do. :(

i've heard really good things about that show but have never watched it. is it the same guy, i assume?

hnibos 03-10-2011 11:26 PM

yea hes in it. his character is pretty annoying though, especially the later seasons.

he's one of the guys. an ensemble cast, really. his character does have moments of just being totally insufferable though like hnibos said. but i really loved it. all five seasons. really, really good stuff.

No. Overrated. Rehashed concept.

Banana 03-11-2011 01:03 AM

It's alright but I think people overrate it big time.


The acting is laughably bad. Dexter's sister on the show is probably the worst actress I've ever seen. She has to be near breaking down or tearing up with every line she speaks.

The whole formula of the show is predictable.

wHATcOLOR 03-11-2011 02:13 AM

i like it all except season 3. i also don't like laguerta or batista. like most of everything else.

ella 03-11-2011 02:14 AM

I watched a few episodes on netflix, never got into it...right now i'm on season 2 of Nip/Tuck.
My new addiction :)

killtrocity 03-11-2011 02:23 AM

idk... many people have recommended it
saw an episode from the most recent season and was pretty uninterested

Mo 03-11-2011 06:15 AM

Yes. Yes it is.

Rocket Launcher 03-11-2011 06:37 AM

Yeah watch it! I found the first two seasons to be exceptionally great, but even after that it keeps being exciting.

sickbadthing 03-11-2011 07:38 AM

Seasons 1 and 4 are the best.

Most of the supporting characters are fucking horrible and stupid. Michael C. Hall is the reason to watch it. The writing is really weak and you have to suspend your understanding of reality almost to the point where you're watching a superhero show. It's Showtime so it's HBO inferior no matter what they try to do.

poll!
