Upon searching, I realised tere wasn't a thread for everyone's favourite serial killer. Which is a shame, because the series is fucking awesomesauce. Sadly, series 3 hasn't yet been released in the UK, so I have yet to see it. But I imagine it would be awesome. I own all four books, and love each one of them. Personally, I think my favourite is his newest, "Dexter By Design". It does have some faults, but hey, so does Apollo Justice, and that's still my favourite AA game. I've actually met the author, Jeff Lindsay, at a book signing in my local waterstones. He's really not what you'd expect, actually. I was kinda expecting this sort of comic book nerd, but Lindsay is anything but. And frankly, he should do standup, the guys fuckin' hilarious.

Anyway, Dexter fans now have somewhere on these forums to discuss our favourite psychopath. Please be spoiler sensitive.

My mom watched it a lot so I kind of became a fan! XD I haven't watched all of the first two seasons, but I'd really like to. :3

The third season wasn't quite as good, but it's defintely worth watching. I've never read any of the books, actually...

Aww, really? And I was really looking forward to it reaching the UK...

It's definitely worth doing, especially since the books don't go the same way as the TV show. The first one still revolves around the Ice Truck Killer, but goes quite differently. The second is almost completely different, though, revolving around a psychotic surgeon called Dr. Danco, who removes every part of the human body he can whilst still keeping his victims alive, and then leaves them that way. A lot of people disliked the third because it introduced a paranormal element, but personally I thought it was really good, probably greater so than the last two. I don't know if season 3 goes along the same plot as any of the others... in fact, I doubt that's possible, considering

Spoiler: Series 2 & Book 2

and the fact that it came out before Dexter By Design, which follows the story of some psychotic artists, who have a penchant for using human bodies for their art. Sorry for the rambling, but i'd really recommend them to fans of the show.

As far out as Moloch was, and the whole MLK syndicate, I did still think that as long as you can overlook the biblical stuff it's a very good book.

Incidentally, when I met Lindsay, someone asked him if he had religious beiliefs, and he claimed he believed in demons. I'm pretty sure this is an extension of that.

I said it was definitely worth watching. XD Just for how the story goes and everything. It's not bad at all... just it didn't really develop the characters much.

I might look into the books...

I watched the series before I read the books, but I find them both interesting and instant favorites. I always can't help but to chuckle at Dexter's inner monologue. It really is a great series!!

The books are really bad actually, in a rather bizarre way. The TV show is great.

Could you be a little more specific on that?

Anyway, the books are by no means bad, IMO. Although the TV show is certainly better. They handled the conclusion to the first series far better than the first book did.

I didn't read the book either. The TV show is excellent, especially the second season. The third season is really good as well, mostly because of the interactions between Dexter and his new "friend"'(who is one of the most interesting characters in the series so far), but the level of suspense and intensity is not the same. I wonder what the character played by John Lithgow will be like in the fourth season... that actor can be either great or terrible depending on the script.

Hey, the premier of season 5 of Dexter is tonight! My mom got Showtime again just so we can watch it... even though I'm probably going to get grey hair over this show. >_< I was so surprised by the end of Season 4 that I was literally numb.

Whatever villain(s) they will introduce this time probably won't reach the heights or have the impact of John Lithglow, but I'm still excited over guessing what will happen. :edgy:

I have seen the series and loved it. I haven't read the books cause most of the libraries around where I live at don't have them or won't plan to have them on their shelves. I am looking forward to the new season though.

I have read the first 5 books and seen all of the t.v series the season 8 ending wasnt all that great

Season 1-4 are the best

season 5 was pretty good

season 6 was ok

season 7 was awesome

season 8 was ok apart from the ending

Seasons 1, 2, and 4 are amazing. 2 had a shitty ending, though

Season 7 is pretty good. It felt like a return to form in a lot of areas but I hated all of the Hannah McKay bullshit

Season 3 is pretty boring until the end

Season 5 is enjoyable, but not that great after the first episode (which is my favorite episode)

Season 6 is deplorable fecal matter

Season 8 is the worst thing ever created by a human being ever
