Last thing at night is a bad idea? I've been enjoying watching it, looking forward to seeing it, and have to wait until after the DC are in bed before we watch but it's giving me weird dreams....

I only watched the first half of the first episode, I was looking forward to it but found it a bit disturbing.

Kirk1 · 10/06/2013 19:35

It IS disturbing! If you think the first episode was bad, we are now 12(ish) episodes in and it's getting more disturbing each episode. Though, I can't help it, I like him despite his .... Um, condition....

Some parts of Dexter are very good. I loved the season with Julia Styles. Sometimes, it's just too much - I hate gory TV.

I would not watch it alone!

plainjaney · 10/06/2013 19:40

I used to watch an episode a night in bed, will probably watch the new series in bed as well Grin
June 30th (USA) Cannot wait!

It's great. Horrifying, but great.

It really taps into the barbarian part of me that feels entirely comfortable with that kind of 'justice' for those who have truly committed abominable crimes.

I guess that's why it's so popular.

SirBoobAlot · 10/06/2013 19:42

I used to watch it. Then when he had kids it got weird. (No logic there, at all.)

Certainly would not watch it at night or alone.

Then again, have had to ban myself from watching Misdsomer Murders at night too Blush

OOh i love Dexter Smile

GoblinGranny · 10/06/2013 19:45

But he only kills bad people, so why are you worried?

pillow1999 · 10/06/2013 19:46

I did not think it was scary, just a bit sick.

HalfSpamHalfBrisket · 10/06/2013 19:46

I love it but must admit the Trinity Killer season left me Shock.

cookielove · 10/06/2013 19:48

Its not scary or sick, its brilliant (and also not real) plus he is a total hottie

Kirk1 · 10/06/2013 19:49

HE HAS KIDS!!!??? Yeowch, that's completely weird...

Who with? Rita, or someone new? Ack, no, don't tell me, we're trying to avoid spoilers. Hard when you start a series so late I knowWink

He IS a total hottie! Especially in his designated green fitted killing clobber. Mmm.

thecakeisalie · 10/06/2013 19:53

I agree on the Trinity season left me scarred for life, that last scene! You think its all ending happily and they hit you with such a shocker. My ds1 was a similar age to his baby in that scene and it just left me wanting to blub and I never cry at t.v (thinking about it I think I was preg with ds2 so might explain to blubbing urge but still shocked me no end).

SisterMatic · 10/06/2013 19:55

Season 3 was on Sky recently then it stopped. I dont know where to catch up on it from there

monkeyfacegrace · 10/06/2013 19:59

Dexter is the best thing on tv this decade.
I ADORE it.
And Id shag the living daylights out of him. Pref whilst he is wearing eau de blood.
Corrrrr.

Enfyshedd · 10/06/2013 20:01

I've just got season 7 on DVD and am 4 episodes in (well, should be 6 episodes in, but I have a habit of falling asleep on the sofa while DD's sleeping next to me - don't worry, DP is there to supervise). Can't believe the twists they've introduced a third of the way in, and season 8 is going to be the last series! What are they going to do?

HauntedArmchairOfDoom · 10/06/2013 20:01

sister you can get six seasons free on Netflix. Glad I could helpGrin

I've motored through the feat two seasons in about ten days and I'm not even sorry. I am madly in love with Special Agent Lundy despite his being about 60. Lucky.Deb Envy

Crowler · 10/06/2013 20:06

Dexter is more than shag-worthy, but The Killing is much better. IMO.

SisterMatic · 10/06/2013 21:09

Ahh thankyou Haunted

5Foot5 · 10/06/2013 21:38

Dexter is BRILLIANT! Which season are you watching?

Kirk1 · 10/06/2013 21:42

Season 1.... We are so behind. We only just finished the second season of 24....

FreudiansSlipper · 10/06/2013 21:51

Dexter is great and love the dark humour

The Trinty Killer was very very creepy

Michael C Hall is going to marry me one day

I love Lundy too and Doakes was great in it too

RobotElephant · 10/06/2013 21:54

I find Dexter oddly calming. I'm going to watch it all again from the beginning - series 4 is just Shock

RobotElephant · 10/06/2013 21:56

6 seasons on Netflix? Awesome Grin I thought it only went up to series 4.
