Dexter - Series 8 now done (US). It was the last series apparently.

[Sideshow]

An unusual premise this, and based on the first episode it will be well worth a download every week. Michael C Hall (Six Feet Under's David) plays Dexter, who is a serial killer.

He's also a CSI-type cop.

The dark comedy style is similar to SFU, and whilst it will never hit the heights of that show, it will be an entertaining and interesting 45 minutes every week. It is also on Showtime which means they won't hold back on the gore. If it wasn't for Heroes, this would be my highlight of the brand new shows so far this season. First episode of eleven was on Sunday and is Out There now.

[Captain Helanio]

This was: creepy, dark, intense, unsettling, wonderful.

Michael C Hall was fab as ever, and I enjoyed the writing/pace/direction. Something to come back to, but also a show I won't want to watch last thing at night.

[diggler]

Jeez that was...different. Don't quite know what to make of it yet, but I'm definitely "tuning in" next week.

Just watched the first episode after reading about it here. Very interesting premise, really enjoyed Michael C Hall in Six Feet Under so it's good to see him in something else. Is the story scheduled to tie up in one series or is it a case of, see how well it does and go from there? What day does this show in the States?

[FishyFish]

Does he have a lab?

[cassidy]

Does he have a lab?

No but apparently he employs a couple of arrow makers

[JohnC]

Does he also make false teeth?

[JohnC]

Just watched it too. I'll keep watching it. Those cut up bodies were good. And that Sargeant really hates him

[Albert Fish]

Loved the way he was jealous of the other killers technique.

Fantastic first episode!

[Harry]

this is the homo from six feet under isn't it?

[cassidy]

Loved the way he was jealous of the other killers technique.

Fantastic first episode!

Agree and to be honest I wasnt sure how it would play out with a serial killer as the main character. Turns out it were brill. Dark humour and a good tale, I'll be watching it from now on.

[Rin]

It was sweet.

[V3zna]

Fucking hell this is good and more than a little bit different. The lead role is filled perfectly and the storyline is already interesting. It's that damn good it's getting another viewing tonight.

[Simmy]

Where can i see this?

[hoot]

"Slice of Life"

[Rin]

"Takes life. Seriously."

[V3zna]

Where can i see this?

On your TV if you download it or move to America.

[Nate Dogg III]

Wow.

I like this. I like this very much indeed.

[Sideshow]

I'm glad so many of you are enjoying it. I'd hate to see it get lost amongst all the other new shows. It was only a fluke that I saw anything about it. I hope it does well and gets picked up over here.

[Simmy]

I'll rephrase my earlier question.

Where can i download this?

[Rin]

I'll rephrase my earlier question.

Where can i download this?

Download this and open in this.

[Tequila]

A keeper, this one.

[lenticular]

great show, its so inside his head it makes me feel weird just watching it

[Dork Knight]

I fell asleep half way through as I was so tired last night, I will have to finish it off tonight.

[DoctorEggo]

Bloody hell this is good.

When's the second ep likely to be "out there"?

[Rin]

Monday morning.

[Poet]

This is my favourite show out of all the new stuff that has come out this season in the US, and I've seen pretty much everything.

[Smitty]

Very, very good.

[Billy Brown]

Yep, we watched this earlier and I liked it a lot. I'll definitely be grabbing the next few episodes at least.

[Rudderless]

Oof! It's DARK. And very very weird. Which means that, despite its aceness, it probably won't last five minutes.

Seriously good stuff though, with one of the most interesting and charismatic leads in a US drama for a while - it's often the supporting cast that are the most fascinating, but here it's clearly Dexter himself.

Bonus points for having Darla in it, too. Though the bit where she tries to have sex with him was oddly heartbreaking. And you know it's not going to end well for the poor girl.
