TV: Dexter
After suffering through season 6, my only hope is that the Season 8 finale is Dexter and Masuka teaming up to slaughter everyone in the Miami Police Department.

Re: TV: Dexter
I think I gave up part way through season 6. Just.. awful.

Whoever was responsible for the brother/sister incest storyline should be fired.

Re: TV: Dexter
I only saw parts of the premiere last night, but it seems as if it is going to be as awful as season 7.

Re: TV: Dexter
The premiere was OK and I'll force myself to trudge through this season just because it seems stupid to invest this much time in a show and not watch the final season. But the truth is, I should have stopped watching after the Trinity season.

Re: TV: Dexter
I had a few good solid laughs at this. The only thing they got wrong is that they didn't put Hannah in a white shirt with a black bra which is the ONLY thing she wore all season.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

I actually enjoyed last season. Not really crazy about how this season looks after only one episode.

Re: TV: Dexter
what i mean is that this show tends to start over with a bunch of new plot lines every season, so it takes a few episodes for the viewer to invest in those fresh plots.Mecca wrote:not sure if you've watched the episodespike wrote:dexter seasons always start out slow.Mecca wrote:I actually enjoyed last season.

I think this one is showing more promise than the last two. That's not saying much, but still.

Re: TV: Dexter
Wife watched a few seasons then fell off, I caught a few of those. She queued up the new season premiere last night and I watched for a bit... this is a horrid television show, the acting and fucking everything is god awful.
Sorry, I don't normally slag on things so openly though this series was recommended to me.

Re: TV: Dexter
right now i can agree, but for at least 3 or 4 seasons, Michael C Hall was one of the best actors out there

Re: TV: Dexter
I could definitely see that, I know he has the ability. I started watching Six Feet Under again a while ago, have since fallen off, but that was a great series especially Hall.psychobain wrote:right now i can agree, but for at least 3 or 4 seasons, Michael C Hall was one of the best actors out there

Re: TV: Dexter
Hmm, I don't thin it's horrid. Far from it, and acting criticism is subjective. I think the actors do an acceptable job, but not great. What are you comparing them to? I mean, most actors on TV kinda suck. I don't know if the acting has ever really been good on this show. Were the people who play Deb, Quinn, Rita ever considered "good"? They've always been just OK to me.oasisfan35 wrote:Wife watched a few seasons then fell off, I caught a few of those.

This season so far seems to be on par with last, and both better than season 6.

Re: TV: Dexter
I'm not comparing them to other television actors, I'm critiquing their actual performances. And no, with the bits I've seen most of the supporting cast is fairly lackluster. But again, I reiterate that I have only seen sporadic episodes in passing... one just happened to be the current season premiere.darth_vedder wrote:Hmm, I don't thin it's horrid.

Re: TV: Dexter
The plot on this show for the past few seasons (well, starting with Travis Marshall at least) has been very transparent and easy to see through. My girlfriend was able to predict the "twist" with Edward James Olmos in the second episode that season.
