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

    Well 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.

    It is all too rare that a 1st rate book is turned tinto a 1st rate series. BRAVO to all involved!

    This 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.

    I 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.

    It'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?

    The 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.
