    Dexter

    Have any of you guys been watching Dexter? It's very good. Possibly a bit overly glossy but it is very well written and made, and the guy that plays the lead is suitably creepy yet oddly charming.

    I love it. The identity of the Ice Truck killer was obvious but it's a superb programme. If i ever grow up i want to be a sociopathic serial killer.

    I really wanted to see this series but have so far missed it completely. I will have to see if I can get hold of it. Looked really interesting from the trailers and the concept in general.

    If you haven't played a classic game in years, it's never too late to start!

    It's a intelligent and well thought out series. Which is why it's surprising that it's a hit in America, then again as most Americans are borderline sociapathic serial killers it's more like a documentry for them.

    They probably think they are watching a new "Cops" off shoot.

    Having watched this from the get-go, I just have to say that the lead character is seriously creepy, and yet so disarmingly likeable. It ticks all the right boxes for me, with a midly dark humour; attractive women who aren't just there as eye candy; deeply dark story; devilish details that seem so believable; and characters that are so unlikeable you cheer when they get 'offed'.

    Gonna get me the dvd/bd boxes when they get released!

    I doubt I'll buy the DVDs, but I am enjoying this show a lot. Well worth checking out. A small thing, the episodes seem to be nice and lengthy without outstaying their welcome. Unless it's just me, but there doesn't seem to be the usual plethora of long advert breaks that have to be put into American programmes to make them last an hour.

    It lasts an hour on ITV so in America it's probably an hour and a half long episodes due to the ads which makes it more amazing that it's popular in the states. I might try finding the book that it's based on "Darkly Dreaming Dexter" by Jeff Lindsay.

    I've realise i have one major problem with Dexter. In the startup sequence Dexter shaves, cuts himself, finishes off shaving and then cooks breakfast. When he gets fully dressed he has face fuzz that looks about a day old!!!! Why the hell doesn't he get himself a better razor, either that or find out why he has such freekily fast growing facial hair which will only grow to a certain length.
