For the last five years people have been telling me about how Dexter seems like the sort of show I would really enjoy,* but having a lot of fandoms on my plate combined with the lack of access to it, I haven't really had the time or opportunity. Lucky for me, I'm at a bit of a fandom lull at the moment and takuansoho and belindabird happened to have the first season, ( Read more... )

It's not perfect, don't expect it to be and you'll enjoy it just fine. It has that cheap-ass feel to it - sometimes a new location is just an old location shot from a different angle. Of course, that's a point in favor of it. Story is always more important than budget.

The first two seasons are probably the best, and I don't think that I ever disliked it.

Noted! I'll keep that in mind, thanks.

Welcome to Dexter! I really liked the first two seasons, but felt it went off the rails in the third. But those first two I think are really well put together. Interested to hear what you think as it goes.

For whatever reason, there are more than a couple people interested in what I think about this show, so I will make every effort to post more reaction as I go along. :)

I'm always surprised at what other people say about the show, because everyone has a really different option about the seasons. I thought the first was good, the second was terrible, the third was getting back on track, the fourth was FRIGGIN' FANTASTIC, and the fifth was alright. I'd be interested what you think about the seasons if you watch more than one.

I look forward to future posts! Been a long time since I've heard an opinion on the show from a newcomer.

I've only seen the first three seasons, but of those the first is arguably the best because it followed the plot of the novel so closely. Season two was good, but not as good as it could have been, and the third season was alright as well. I've heard that season four is holyshitamazing, and I've seen enough of it to know that's true. I really need to get caught up...
