MariaOct 8, 200710One of the two TV shows that I really enjoyed in the last 10 years. The show is brilliant and probably even better, than the original books.

MichaelD.Oct 9, 200710A finely drawn character study masquerading as a blood-splashed procedural, Dexter explores what it means to feel human

MerrileeFDec 7, 200610This show had me from the first episode. It is extremely entertaining and engrossing. Michael Hall is so intriguing as Dexter, he pulls you in and makes you feel for his character. After all, he's trying to find his way in life just like the rest of us. I find myself watching reruns during the week because I want more. I highly recommend it!

ZiadAMar 3, 200710One of the best shows i've ever seen, but didn't like the way they started the drama with the fealings :'( .Can't wait for the 2'nd Season.

LiltApr 30, 200710Not one who easily gets addicted to tv shows, but have been faithfully watching Dexter. Super-smart, slick and stylish, diabolical wit conveyed with perfection by Hall. Just finished season 1 last night (last 4 episodes climaxed to a perfect end!) and can't wait for 2nd season.

StalwartL.Sep 3, 200710Great acting and chilling, intricate yet consistent plot. A great product for great entertainment.
-
-
AdamMay 5, 200810This is an edge of your seat suspense thriller. Once I started watching it, I couldn't stop, episode after episode until the whole story has unfolded in front of me. A truly impressive TV show.
-
-
wojtkyJun 20, 20099Micheal is a great actor. Of course Dexter is not good as Six Feet Under, or The Sopranos, but 1 season (best so far) is truly amazing experience. Best TV show from 2006.
-
-
ElizabethD.Jul 3, 200910Absolutely my favorite tv series! I've never seen anything like it. I loved 'Six Feet Under', and would say '24' was my favorite series... until I found 'Dexter'. So original, entertaining, and thought provoking. So hard to wait for the next show that I wait for the season to end, rent the whole season and watch it almost non-stop. :)
-
-
EBOct 1, 20069What a great show! Fascinating and thought-provoking. There are some scenes where I had to close my eyes, but so what - that's sometimes a part of great fiction. As for the Wall Street journal review, I can only say: lighten up, Nancy, it's just that - FICTION!
-
-
CoreyKNov 27, 200610The show only gets better and better. Let's hope the Ice Truck Killer Plotline ends with a well-written conclusion and that Season 2 gets even better. Weeds Season 2 was a disappointment for all but the last episode.
-
-
KarenBNov 4, 200610Can't wait to watch each week!
-
-
DavidROct 19, 200610Wow. This show is what you get if you blend CSI, the Hitman games, and a big pile of fun. And that's a good thing.
-
-
NatashaAOct 2, 20069This show gives a unique perspective on crime from the mind of a serial killer. It's unlike any show I have seen. Very interesting.
-
-
StephanieCOct 2, 20069I can't wait for the next episode.
-
-
JesseSOct 20, 200610One of my new favs. I got hooked on the Dexter series right away. The general plot lines and main character alone makes it kick ass. Kinda like a new and yet twisted CSI with a dash of "real justice". A must watch hit.
-
-
LydiaCOct 20, 200610Love i t. Love michael.
-
-
IanSOct 20, 200610Five minutes into the premier and I was officialy hooked! Hall is perfect, the writing is brilliant, and the visuals are disturbing yet mesmerizing. If that's not enough, there is a dark humor that adds to the appeal. Sometimes I wasn't sure if I should laugh or cry. It is the best new series I've seen in close to ten years.

AlexandreDec 30, 200610It is really different show. Everybody should watch that show !

reginaldsOct 3, 20069Dexter is slickly written, acted, and directed. It's American Psycho meets The Boondock Saints; creepy, interesting, and entertaining.
-
-
TomDOct 3, 20069Sick, bloody and messy. I like it! Michael C. Hall is just a great actor.
-
-
LindsayTOct 6, 200610Great adaptation of the books...Michael C. Hall has found a role created for him. I was worried they wouldn't be able to put the subtleties of the character into a television show, but great job! I finally have a show I can look forward to watching every week!!!
-
-
MikeKOct 7, 200610This is a great new series. Dexter goes farther than the other CSI shows. He issues justice in his own sick way.
-
-
ScotKJan 11, 200710A great storyline with even better acting makes Dexter work briliantly well. Hall is fantastic, and although the plot twists are a little easy to predict, I was caught up instantly.
-
-
JasonHOct 14, 200710This is my favorite show! Its so original, We've seen hospital dramas, super powers, romance, and w/e, but not something like this. Its so awesome with the protagonist being an antihero, whose very profession and character are flawed in the eyes of society. Anyway, i think it's a great series, and I wish I could find in in Canada (I have had to download it)

JennaPJan 15, 200710This show doesn't have a 9.6 User Rating for nothing. It's thoroughly engaging, original, smart and at times gruesome. You have no idea what you're missing....

JarrodP.Oct 2, 200710Simply Excellent, plays on the fact that deep down we all wish bad guys would get what they deserve, and in this show; they do!

SeanT.Jan 31, 200710Dexter is the best show in TV history. Period.
-
-
RS.Oct 31, 200710Well written scripts with bloody theames. Good all round cast given something to do without being banal or trite. Action moves smoothly through story with the required suspension of disbelieve but with an intelligent logic that makes the show compelling to watch.
-
-
KayeOct 7, 200710It is all too rare that a 1st rate book is turned tinto a 1st rate series. BRAVO to all involved!

victoriMar 16, 200710This is the best show of 2006 (according to me), I'm always glued into place in front of the tv when it begins. I can't come up with anything I DON'T love about Dexter, it's awesome.
-
-
PaulineMApr 6, 200710I just love the show dexter, I watch it every sunday night, One reason that I like it so , he gets rid of the scum that the law lets go.It is twisted but he goes where most of us woundn't dare tread, its edgy and powerful at the same time.

AdrianMMar 6, 200810It's so good that since the first season has finished, it feels like a good friend has left. Is it wrong to enjoy such a macabre show?

-
DeborahMOct 11, 200610Deliciously twisted and dark crime drama, it's absolutely the best show on television. It is definitely worth subscribing to Showtime for. It's a must see! Kudos to Michael C. Hall and Michael Cuesta. Another hit out of the ballpark.

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.
