Movies and TV Dexter (Showtime)

ChiefsFan4Life · 10-20-2006, 10:38 PM

Anyone watch this show?

I was bored and watched all three episodes that have been aired so far on OnDemand. I actually think the show is pretty damn good so far, I like the character a lot.

I caught it while I was making masters for one of my shows last week, really think it's good, although Weeds is still my showtime show.

Yeah... Dexter kicks ass... as does Weeds. Showtime has some really good programing now.

I've got a thing for the lead in Weeds... just somthin' about her.

I had Showtime for $5 a month for the past year and it just expired and I kept it for the regular price just so I could watch Dexter. HBO's "Six Feet Under" was the only regular episodic show that I followed every week since Seinfeld went off the air. I've seen all 63 shows at least twice so every actor from that series, in this case it's Michael C. Hall, I try and see what they'll do next. My wife and I have caught all three Dexter's on Tuesdays at 9:00 in hi-def.

I was curious to see how Michael C. Hall would pull of this role since his character on SFU was so different as the gay brother. I noticed his hair is darker and he doesn't shave and has a more rugged look. I like the actress that plays his girlfriend and the hispanic actor that plays the cop with the hat, I'm not as happy with some of the other casting. The actress that plays his dipsy sister or the black police woman are not what I would of chosen but I think maybe their characters will grow on me.

The next SFU actor I'm waiting to see is Peter Krause who played the main character of Nate finished a movie last year called "Civic Duty". It's about a average guy that suspects his middle-eastern neighbor as being a terrorist. At some of the film festivals in New York back in the spring it received excellent reviews but I heard it's not coming out until January 2007.

...and Weeds is a definite must-watch.
Any show that can get Kevin Nealon just being Kevin Nealon, and also have a scene like this below(BRILLIANT!!!) has my attention.
My favorite Showtime show, Huff, has apparently been cancelled (according to Baby lee, I haven't bothered to look it up). But Showtime is definitely putting out some quality shows.

I love this show, and it is getting really hot now. You know they are gonna leave us hanging (excuse the pun) in a couple of weeks when the season finale airs. I don't really watch TV, but I wait for this show to come on.

I've loved her since Fried Green Tomatoes, which also sported Mary Stuart Masterson, who I had a crush on since Some Kind of Wonderful.

On a related note, Annabeth Gish has held up well over the years as well

Oh, and off more prurient interests, I can't wait for Dexter to come to DVD.

I cant wait either. I have so many friends who don have Showtime. I want to get the DVD, so they can get into this show, so I have someone else to talk to about it.

I've been downloading it with bit torrents. I'm typically an episode behind but what the heck.

Where are you downloading it? Limewire?

ck_IN · 12-08-2006, 09:44 AM

I've done one with limewire. The rest with bittorrents. Do a google on 'dexter bittorrent'. You should find lots of hits.
