Showtime's DEXTER
 

Anyone waiting for this upcoming Showtime series? It premieres in October and is based on the novel Darkly Dreaming Dexter. The premise seems very interesting, and being handled by Showtime is a definite plus. The actor they chose to star is also top-notice. I'm thinking this might be a break-out hit, as far as HBO/Showtime series go.

i've not heard of it.

Showtime at Sunday 10:00 PM (60 min.)
Status: New Series
Premiere: October 1, 2006
Show Categories: Drama, Action/Adventure

Based on Jeff Lindsay's novel "Darkly Dreaming Dexter," this new crime thriller tells the story of a strange man named Dexter Morgan. Once an abused and abandoned child, Dexter is now a successful forensics pathologist...but lurking just beneath his charismatic personality is a terrible truth. Dexter has corralled his innate homicidal urges into a closely guarded second career: He hunts down and brutally murders those vicious criminals who have managed to avoid the clutches of the law.

Tonights the night, and it's going to happen again, and again.

To stop a serial killer...
you have to think like one,
plan like one,
and hunt like one.

And for one forensic investigator,
that should be easy...
because he is one.

:) Apparently it's predicted to be the most-talked about show.

my friend Michael is starring in it. He said he's having a ball with this character and it's even darker than Six Feet Under.

I have Showtime for free on a 6 month trial basis.....the six months is just about over.Between this show and "Masters of Horror".....I may have to pay for it for a few months.

The first episode is available online here:

I really liked it because it was different.

The first episode was really great and creepy cool. If you don't get Showtime you are in luck. They are having free preview weekends for the next two weekends everyone with Cable or Satelite will have Showtime.

Two episodes in and I am hooked. Dexter Morgan is the most compelling tv character I've seen since Tony Soprano.

Great Show!

I caught the first episode....pretty good....gonna have to watch the next two.

Seems like every horror forum I read has something on Dexter, so I checked it out over the past two days on OnDemand. I really like it. Michael C. Hall is great in the lead and Jennifer Carpenter looks pretty good too. I like the way they've set Dexter up against the Ice Truck Killer in an extended battle. That should make for some interesting TV. With MoH coming up too, it's definitely a good time for horror fans to have Showtime. :)
