Want To See Episode One Of Showtime’s Serial-Killer Serial DEXTER Right Now??
I am – Hercules!!
“Dexter” is a Showtime hourlong, from writer Jaems Manos Jr. (“The Sopranos,” “The Shield”), about a disturbed Miami forensics expert who spends his off-hours torturing and killing no-goodnicks.
It stars Michael Hall (homosexual David from “Six Feet Under”), Julie Benz (vampire Darla from “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and “Angel”), Lauren Velez (hot Dr. Nathan from “Oz”) and Jennifer Carpenter (the title character in “The Exorcism of Emily Rose”).
I find it to be a very silly show, with “Oz” vet David Zayas constantly and inexplicably throwing around Spanish nouns, as if to say, “Look at me!! I am Cubano!!”
The first episode is due to premiere Oct. 1, but the handful of AICN readers with access to the Internets can have a gander at it now. Hop over to http://www.sho.com/site/dexter/sneakpeek/home.do The password is “sneak peek.”
But beware that pause button! I hit it about 45 minutes in to take a pee break and it caused the show to start over - with no fast-forward button in sight.
Streeting Now!!

Oh yes it is...

...and a rather good one at that. See review:

I believe that he's up to book number three now. All quite well-written, entertaining serial killer comedies. Pshaw on the internet viewing, but I'll probably give the series a try when it shows up on air. Nice to see producers choosing solid stories. -
Hahahahahaha. You know what makes it even more funny? ShiftyEyedDog's "discovery" that you "CAN CLICK AND DRAG THE PROGRESS BAR". Don't tell me you didn't try that! I mean, come on! That's standard practise for PC-based media, isn't it? Come to think of it, that's standard practise for most digital media like DVDs etc. Not to mention if it has a progress bar! Or does everybody press fast forward and wait til the right bit like VHS? Whatever. Don't worry Herc, that stuff happens to all of us, every now and then. ;P ...45 mins in! Hahaha...

I've heard good things about this show and Michael C. Hall was awesome in Six Feet Under, so I'll be viewing this.
-
...when watching this cliche-ridden piece of tripe. I would've never dreamed that a cable series about a serial killer could fail so miserably, but this one hits the shit series trifecta. Lazy plot construction, horrific performances, and perhaps the most shortsighted direction I've ever seen. On top of that, the concept is just not that interesting. In fact, it borders on gimmicky.
That being said, in many instances, the second episode of a new series is often far superior to its pilot. I certainly hope this is the case for Dexter. Perhaps he could take some lessons from The Carver. -
and too much voice over. esspecially when he looks at the doughnut box.
-
"Dexter" sounds suspiciously like the film script Nicholas Cage's more charismatic twin was trying to pitch in "Adaptation."
-
you can't watch it if your in Korea...that sucks.
-
is what makes the show interesting. Nothing may be as it seems. We don't know where other characters come from and if they are keeping appearances the same way he does. Also Dexter is not normal, so the conclusions he makes and flashbacks might not be the way it actually happened. And to the person that says that acting is terrible, well you're expectations are ridiculously high. Micheal C. Hall nailed the part in my opinion and it's the first episode for cryin' out loud.
-
If I jacked with a cheese grater I might find more satisfaction. Seriously, I have no idea why people would think this show is interesting. The only point that had any 'Hey! How'd that happen?' factor was how the other 'sick killer you want dead...NOW!' left the body bloodless. Other than that, I wanted a bullet blown out the back of the main characters head. Not to sound like others on this site, but Jack Bauer would plug this guy with glee. Give me a hardcore hero, not a sick f*ck we need to feel all touchy-feely with. M.C. Hall (which really, he needs to be called by) was great in the wannabe Hugh Laurie HOUSE delivery, but the bad script made him Anthony Michael Hall DEAD ZONE level acting. I'm sure this show will be a hit amoung the 'Aint't humans evil' crowd who will cry foul when this show doesn't get a third season. It's simple exploitation crap. No cleverness behind it. A near Frat level idea for a show.

To talk backers like Negative Man, who vehemently hated it, I say go back to your childhood and find out why you are so starved for attention. Mommy didn't hold you enough? Maybe you weren't breast fed. Maybe your prom date did the footbal team under the bleachers whilst you watched and later cried yourself to sleep beneath your Mork & Mindy sheets and bedspread set.
Honestly, this show isn't bad. I wouldn't say it is the greatest TV show to ever hit the airwaves, but it has potential. Is the voice over silly? Yeah, maybe a little. Is there too much emphasis on the "I have no feelings" thing, when he is obviously having a good time in life? Yeah. But all in all, a good effort, and I definitely see more happening with it. I laughed, I was intrigued, and I was left wanting to see the next episode. It is American Psycho meets Monk, and that isn't all bad. It does kinda drive me crazy how much Michael C Hall looks like his TV brother Peter Krause in the show, but I can get over that. If you haven't checked it out already, I would definitely recommend it. viva el goo -
Over There was on FX not showtime and The Brotherhood rulez..great show. Dexter was decent , I am hopeful it will get even better in future episodes.

"We at Showtime Online express our apologies; however, these pages are intended for access only from within the United States." Fuck you, Showcase. Respectfully, the Rest of the World :-)
-
I could understand why the Rest of The World (call us Third World) is not allowed to watch a sneak peek of DEXTER. Only if I force myself. But not being allowed to connect to their site when you want to know which song appeared in a WEEDS episode just sucks. It's the first time i see a web site which prevents anyone from outside a country from connecting. Maybe they're just afraid we're all Oussamas. Bastards.
-
They are morons...
-
WHAT THE F**K IS THAT S**T? Showtime sucks badly enough without playing stupid games like that. I'll never watch this show.
-
Arriving just in time to build up steam for the "Hannibal Rising" publicity machine. This loop of snuffy pre-cum will be done in 12.
-
...then just use an American proxy.Although it is lame that it's restricted.
-
I never get the memos on anything...
-
As soon as you get to like it it'll Keyser Soze on you, "And just like that, He's gone..." I Liked Huff...hell I bought teh first season of "Dead Like Me". Fuck Showtime.
-
But is a series about a serial killer in any way a good idea? You know, they really DO kill innocent people. Why not an ongoing living dead show or something. Read "The Walking Dead" and imagine how good a series could be.
I like my entertainment nice and fictional.
Leave realistic murderers in jail where they belong.
Plus, I can see it now-"Introverted resident used 'Dexter' as a template for numerous murders. Community in shock and families file suit against Showtime." -
Dexter doesn't kill innocent people.
anyways i like what i've seen so far. -
whats the password so I can watch this thing.
-
And yes I DO want to play!
-
Yep, sadly it is about the cost of streaming - I was involved in determining the technology that was to be be implemented to achieve this. Since the BBC is funding by a license fee in the U.K., it was felt that priority should be given to those individuals paying for broadcast content. Sorry folks, that's the way it goes.
-
seems like a fun show. It doesnt take itself too seriously, and I still love Michael C Hall as an actor so it should be fun to watch.
-
Why is this the last entry on AICN. This is the best show on tv but smallville gets an article for every shitisode. Dexter is getting dissed!
