Has anyone watched DEXTER need opinions

[CarGirl]

Is it quirky as in a 6 feet under type of way or really quite gruesome?

It brilliant, bit gory, now and again, but not overly.

I vote for quirky - also actor who plays Dexter was in 6 feet under!

My 15 yr old DD2 is hooked on it and she can thoroughly recommend the books.

do you watch True Blood is like that in terms of a bit gory now & then (like Nan on the floor etc)

a bit gory now and again, but very quirky.

There's not blood squirting everywhere, you see him started to cut someone up but not the actal deed. Definitely not gruesome, it's more the thought of what he's doing.

hopefully DH will cope then, he doesn't do gory

he just wants to clarify no worse than "Nip & Tuck" - lol!

I fancy Dexter

I've never watched N&T.

its very good. try it. somehow your always on his side, even when he is offing people left right and centre - they all deserve it!

sounds great we always end up buying (and then selling) series on DVD so we can watch them together. Never seem to buy anything romantic to watch thouch

Try it! As Vicar says you will be on his side - first time I've been rooting for a serial killer!

Be warned his girlfriend/wife gets more annoying with each series

Yes its really good, my dh just told me to type

It's quirky all right but extraordinarily good TV. I don't like gore myself but it's much more subtle than that. In a very short while you will find yourself wholeheartedly on Dexter's side and willing him not to be caught - very clever, funny, exciting stuff, with characters you come to care about.

One word of warning - very early in, first ten mins of the first episode perhaps, I got the wrong impression as there was quite a shocking scene (not gore but disturbing) - however this wasn't representative of the entire series and I heartly recommend you go for it as I consider it one of the most enjoyable series of recent years.

Is it being repeated on tv do you know?

I love this programme, truly excellent TV.
And I detest horror films etc. but don't find this gory at all.

big thumbs up then!

very good though they didnt stick to the books, which always pisses me off

You know you shouldn't like him but you do. Agree it doesn't stick with the books but it's really good

Loved Dexter series 1. Didn't enjoy the 2nd series at all though, that English actress (hmm) totally ruined it for me.

Series 3 was back on form though, excellent.

Did you know that the actor who plays Dexter is married to his characters sister (Debs) in real life?

Yeh,that english actress(or was it an american doing an overtly british job??
)was very irritating!!
Dexter is fab & quite hot,when is series 3 back on itv,anyone know????????

indeed i did know he was married to sister

i liked the english woman in hustle but not dexter

mmmmm dexter

Dexter is awesome-nuff said!!!!!!!!

watched 2 episodes last night, loved it. Unfortunately Match of the Day getting in the way this evening
