Last night I turned on the tv for the first time in about 2 weeks. I only get one channel since I rarely watch it. The show was Dexter. Has anyone seen it? I'm not sure what to think about it, but I certainly kept thinking about it today. I'd never even heard of it. Oh, I've watched all of the Halloweens and Nightmares on Elm Street back in the day, but something about this show is disturbing and different. Like we are suppose to like this guy? I'm not sure how I feel about this show, but I know it shouldn't have been aired at 8:00 on a Sunday night on a network channel.
Thoughts? Like this show? Don't like it?

I like it. I like that it makes us wonder what we're supposed to do with all that information. I like that we can realize that the way the show is done is manipulative, because it doesn't hide the fact. It's intelligent, twisted, thought provoking and still smooth enough for network TV. All that said, it's pretty graphic to be on at 8pm. I think here it airs at 10. I only know a few other people who have watched it.....but then I only knew a few people who watched Arrested Development, too.

I love Dexter. It's easily one of my favorite television shows. I was given the first season on DVD as a present a little while back, and couldn't stop watching them.

I've never seen the show but I've read all the books and I really like them.

Arrested Development was a hoot. I'll have to check out Dexter.
