    Has anybody seen this show? I don't know how I missed it when it came on originally, but this show is awesome. It's on HBO on demand, and I stumbled across it last night and stayed up till 4 am watching 7 episodes in a row. I'm watching the last 6 tonight after the football games.

    It's in Spanish, but it has subtitles, and it's easy to follow along. If you like dramas/suspense movies, you'll love this. The writing is excellent, and so is the acting. It reminds me of "Seven".

    I think it's only on HBO on demad until the end of October.

    I haven't watched that but an eagerly waiting for "Dexter".


    Darkly Dreaming Dexter is premiering on Showtime next month

    Amazon.com

    Meet Dexter Morgan. He's a highly respected lab technician specializing in blood spatter for the Miami Dade Police Department. He's a handsome, though reluctant, ladies' man. He's polite, says all the right things, and rarely calls attention to himself. He's also a sociopathic serial killer whose "Dark Passenger" drives him to commit the occasional dismemberment. Mind you, Dexter's the good guy in this story.

    Adopted at the age of four after an unnamed tragedy left him orphaned, Dexter's learned, with help from his pragmatic policeman father, to channel his "gift," killing only those who deal in death themselves. But when a new serial killer starts working in Miami, staging elaborately grisly scenes that are, to Dexter, an obvious attempt at communication from one monster to another, the eponymous protagonist finds himself at a loss. Should he help his policewoman sister Deborah earn a promotion to the Homicide desk by finding the fiend? Or should he locate this new killer himself, so he can express his admiration for the other's "art?" Or is it possible that psycho Dexter himself, admittedly not the most balanced of fellows, is finally going completely insane and committing these messy crimes himself?

    Despite his penchant for vivisection, it's hard not to like Dexter as his coldly logical personality struggles to emulate emotions he doesn't feel and to keep up his appearance as a caring, unremarkable human being. Breakout author Jeff Lindsay's plot is tense and absorbing, but it's the voice of Dexter and his reactions to the other characters that will keep readers glued to Darkly Dreaming Dexter, as well as making it one of the most original and highly recommended serial killer stories in a long time. --Benjamin Reese
