franciss.Jan 7, 200910Dexter is one of the best new thrillers out. It is engaging on all levels and one cannot but help finding a bit of Dexter in themselves. A must for adults who understands that TV is for entertainment.

LindaNMay 20, 20099I hate Six Feet Under, and I especially hated Michael C. Hall in it. But he is fantastic in Dexter.

HennyCMay 22, 200910Can't get enough. Well done show, most intense show I ever seen. Please do not stop. Incredible cast. Michael is at his best. Dexter I like the monster in you.

CruellaOct 11, 200610Great show. MCH is wonderful in this. I totally root for Dexter, btw, we need more guys like him.
-
-
SandyOct 11, 200610Great show. Michael C. Hall is a terrific actor and he's the perfect choice for Dexter. What a dilemma it presents to the viewer: Is it really so reprehensible to rid the world of a confirmed child killer, a serial rapist-murderer, or an unrepentant repeat drunk driving killer? You decide!

LauraCNov 10, 200610You can't help finding Dexter incredibly charming.

aandrewsNov 14, 20069exceptional, original.....maybe "groudbreaking" (oh, this sounds like an HBO ad?!)....but seriously, Dexter is GREAT. Hall's performance is superb.

mattaNov 21, 20069Michael C. Hall truly redeems himself after his lackluster performance for several years on the hugely overrated Six Feet Under with this incedible, multi-layered performance. The show is great, too.

OliveVOct 15, 200610I cannot get enough of this show. While a couple of characters are iffy, Hall is superb. I'm in love.

ChristinaNDec 13, 200610It is so rare to get my boyfriend to watch a show with me, this is his show. We LOVE Dexter and I'm so excited to see the season finale! I've been thinking about it all week! Who would think a show about killers would be so entertaining?
-

ChrisB.Dec 17, 200610Just saw the season 1 finale. Just wow. It isn't even close. This is easily the best show on TV today, and I watch them all!

LynetteMDec 18, 200610Along with Heroes, this is THE best show on television! Thank goodness we have somewhere to go that doesn't include yet another lame reality show. Go Dexter, go!!

-
-
PhilMDec 25, 200610This is the reason i have showtime. This is simply the best show on television. If u dont have showtime get it because its worth the money just for this show... The only annoying thing is dexters sister and her partner because they suck at acting...but they dont have much to do with the show
-
-
LorieWDec 27, 200610The most addictive show I have ever watched! I watched Episode 1 two weeks ago and have already finished all 12 episodes. Michael C Hall is Brilliant!
-

JohnDDec 27, 200610Best show of 2006. Period.
-
-
AnnSDec 28, 200610Excellent acting, great story line . Love the show. Can't wait for the second season.
-
-
KitchManDec 29, 200610Easily the best television series of the year. Michael C. Hall is one of the more underrated actors in Hollywood, he is simply brilliant in the lead (not to mention his work in Six Feet Under). Hopefully this wonderful show will not be over-looked come Emmy time.
-
-
RobertDDec 29, 200610Dexter is a compelling, 'darkly disturbing' series that contains markedly interesting characters and visuals. It seductively draws the viewer in and spits them out again when least expected. The combination of dark humour and a sterling performance by Michael C. Hall leads to one of the most memorable characters on TV today - Dexter Morgan, a true monster among monsters.
-
-
hailiemDec 30, 200610best showever! so addicting and suspensful! im addicted and i simply cant wait for the 2nd season. its brilliant!
-

MelindaBOct 23, 200610I didn't want to watch a new show, as there are so many things on tv now, but I was addicted after watching just one episode. Don't miss this, it's great!!!

KevinDOct 23, 200610If it gets cancelled I will cry

AlanMOct 24, 200610Excellent crime drama. Nothing else like it on TV and a reason for me to actually put down my xbox360 and watch TV again.
-
-
BJNicholsDec 6, 200610Addictive, tivo worthy, and the characters get better with every episode. One of my favorites!

JasonR.Nov 29, 200710From the eye catching opening to the hair rising end music this show is 10. P.S., love all the cast for the wonderful job they're doing.
-
-
NickS.Dec 10, 200710The single greatest show on TV.
-
-
DeeMJan 21, 200710Dexter is the macabre elevated to an artform. The opening credits alone are a visual feast worth the 'price of admission.' Superb stuff at every single level.
-
-
MikeS.Dec 13, 200710Fantastic show. Great acting, great writing, great story, and very original. Addictive, compelling, and often very funny. Season 2 is as good if not better.
-
-
JaneK.Dec 7, 200710Probably one of the best shows I've seen in years. Captivating and addictive.
-
-
StarrKDec 9, 200710The best show on tv. Period.
-
-
SylviaWFeb 12, 200710I love this show, it rocks.
-
-
DonNFeb 27, 20079Brilliant show that forces viewers to confront their own anti-social feelings. All of the major characters are well developed and Dexter's sister is almost as complex a character as her brother. Good suspense, fascinating storyline, great acting, great writing, and some very beautiful, arty directing. Best thing on American television since the Sopranos.
-
-
JoannPMar 17, 200710I am in love with Dexter. The show is brilliant and I need more!
-
-
LeonAMar 26, 200710dexter rules, dokes is the man!
-
-
JoeBApr 23, 200710This show is very well written and constantly keeps you on the edge of your seat. There are constant plot turns and they are not always so obvious like in other series.
-
-
LMcKnightMay 13, 200710This show is written very well. The characters are intoxicating (the cop sister not so much) and Michael C. Hall does a great job of pretending to be a serial killer pretending to be normal. It's a must watch, even for the weak of stomach.
-
-
jeremywMay 23, 200710Best TV show ever!!!
-
-
LeeTurcotteJun 15, 200710This is a show with no real competition. Dexter manages to consistently excel in those areas where mainstream TV consistently fails. Among Dexter's many strengths are good writing, dark humor, close attention to production quality, and not treating the audience like a bunch of captive, halfwit consumertrons.
-
-
DanielKearneyJun 29, 200710excellent, excellent show. Haven't seen such a quality show in YEARS.
-
-
JasonSJul 22, 20079Best new show, hands down.
-
-
LaurenD.Jul 25, 200710like a good book, it is almost impossible to stop watching! Can't wait for the new season!
-
-
GiaT.Nov 14, 200810I didn't know I would, but I did... I fell in love with Dexter! I could watch season one 'til the DVD player burns holes in the dics!
-
-
CodyFJan 21, 200810Dexter by far is the best show on television how could the critics give it a 77 its obviously a lot higher. Michael C. Halls performance is so breath taking Sometimes the plot twists are so amazing. As said before Dexter is simple the best show on television. Every episode leaves you sitting on your seat asking for more. It makes me wish metacritic went to 11 cause id give it and 11.
-
-
LuluF.Dec 17, 200810Best...Show...Ever! After the first five minutes into Season One, I've been hooked. I've even got my dad addicted to this. I'm venturing to say this is better than The Simpsons.
-
-
UberF.May 16, 200810Magnificent and terrifying. The only serial killer I know that I'd like to have a beer with and Erik King is hilarious as the suspicious Sergeant. A brilliant series
-
-
JennyC.Jun 24, 200810Great dhow. Dry humor. Very enjoyable.
-
-
MichaelS.Aug 29, 200810One of the best seasons of Television I have ever seen!
-
-
PeterS.Sep 11, 200810I love this programme, at the present time its the only thing I HAVE to watch on TV. Everything about this show is top class. This and my other favourite show of all time (The Soprano's) set a bench mark of how great TV can be. Its only a shame TV this good does not come around often enough!
-
-
RonJNov 3, 200910Excellent! Along with Califonication, the only 2 series to grab my attention in the last 10 years. John Lithgow is a top-notch actor (especially in creepy roles like the Trinity Killer), and is really making the show "pop" right now.
-
-
TrevorCOct 14, 200910The Only Thing on TV I have interest in watching since Seinfeld. Seriously - I have not watched a TV series since in a long time. I tried, just every show I tried to watch sucked - DEXTER IS THE BEST SHOW EVER.
-

GeorgeSep 23, 200910I have recently discovered this show and it is amazing. I have seen several serial killer of serial killers content, though. Nonetheless this is the best adaptation I have ever seen. I will certainly read the book.

carrieeNov 14, 200610Dexter is a fantastic new series! It's creative, humourous, dark, and different.

thomasqNov 23, 200610I don't watch much t.v. besides some sports and I'm just tired of all the "reality tv". Dexter has me waiting for the next episode which isn't something I usually make plans around

VictorPassarelliDec 18, 200610melhor seriado não há!
-
-
AndréLDec 18, 200610Pra mim a melhor série dessa nova temporada e muito melhor também que muitas séries já renomadas. Pode não fazer muito sucesso pelo fato de ser exibida por um canal fechado. Mas quem assiste sabe o quão boa essa série é.
-
-
JaredNDec 23, 200610Best new show, and maybe one of the best shows ever.
-
-
PallabDDec 29, 20069There is only one word to describe this series. And that is "WEIRD". A truelly different thriller about a serial killer.
-
-
frozenbarbieDec 29, 200610Perfection, thy name is Dexter.
-
-
80The morals of this provocative show are as intriguing as its cases.
-
Though his cliche hard-boiled voice-over doesn't work, much of this series... does. [29 Sep 2006, p.73]
-
Dexter treats extreme violence much in the same way that GoodFellas did: as something horrifying, intoxicating, seductive and thrilling, all at the same time.
