I have watched the first 4? seasons of dexter twice, have lost interest in watching the show past that both times. Probably for the best.

Never seen TD.

Isn't Dexter about a serial killer that hunts down other serial killers? Sounds really creative.

If we're talking trash guilty pleasure crime shows Animal Kingdom is much better.

Seems like you havent actually watched Dexter based on your question.

I just found it surprising that you'd have such a strong opinion about a show you've never seen a minute of.

Like I said...fun.

When HGTV advertises another home makeover show with another couple trying to cash in on redoing some Mississippi shack, do you need to watch an episode to decide that that's stupid af and a waste of your time?

Think I've made my point on Dexter. There's HBO shows I'd rather give a chance to at this point.

Sidenote: not all HGTV shows are worthless, especially when they have hot half Asian wives in them.

You saved yourself with the last line.

There are a few HGTV shows that are just not believable. We were watching one last night where the gal was sanding a door....wearing, like, a cute leather coat and black sort of yoga pants and not getting a SINGLE smidge of dust on her. Now, I don't know about you but 1) that get up doesn't cut it doing DIY/Flip labor and 2) when i use a power sander, shit is flying everywhere - it's like a mushroom cloud of dust.

Good writers can make a good show out of pretty much any subject matter. The plot is only a part. Character development and relationships, dialogue, hot chicks, etc all play a role in whether or not a show is a good watch. Dexter, for at least a while, had all of the above. If you find yourself with time on your hands give it a shot. You might be surprised.

HGTV has Lottery Dream House where some lucky hick gets a 100,000 dollar scratcher and wants to upgrade to a double wide.

A Lottery Dream house starts at 5 million.

Brand new concept or at least a revised concept that hadn’t been done. Like you said, character development was good. Dexter was good when they had a good villain.

Season one and 4 did. Season 7 (I think?) had some British dude named Isaac that was a scary dude too. Season 2 was good with Doakes chasing Dexter, Lila, and the breakdown of his family.

Great show. Maybe the most consistently entertaining show. Even when it got a little wonky, I enjoyed it. The end did suck tho.

It was must watch the whole time for me. I saw Season 2 first, then went back to Season 1.

I fucking LOVED Sgt. Angel Batista and Vince Masuka. Those were damned good characters. Masuka was up there toward Lloyd the fag in Entourage status. Perverted little asian guy.

Lloyd...Masuka....The Throbber must have a latent little asian guy fetish....not sure how I'm feeling about that self-analysis especially when the media is telling us we're supposed to be racist towards asians right now..
