hislordship Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 Watching season 5 also - can't help thinking it's not going to end so well for Quin and private detective friend :-) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/14654-dexter-fans-comments-on-the-series/#findComment-389517 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keef Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 I really wanted to like Dexter, but when I started watching it, I just didn't really get in to it.

HAL9000 Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 I think Dexter along with Walter White of Breaking Bad are natural progressions of the anti-hero characters portrayed in The Sopranos and The Wire. It makes for riveting if somewhat voyeuristic - if not vicarious - viewing.But what next: a series in which the lead character is a serial rapist or a predatory paedophile - where to draw the line?

HAL9000 Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 I'm a fan of Breaking Bad - it doesn't seem to have attracted as much of a following as Dexter, though.Walter White, the main protagonist, is played ? brilliantly, in my view ? by Malcolm In The Middle?s father: Bryan Cranston.It's about a chemistry teacher diagnosed with cancer who decides to provide for his family by setting up a clandestine methamphetamine laboratory whereupon he soon becomes a large-scale drug dealer and eventually a ruthless killer.

Tarot Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 The plots are interesting with its twist and turns, but I think its just gratuitous violence. They linger to long on the gory bits. The way he wraps body bits up in parcels has turned me off my Amazon parcels Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/14654-dexter-fans-comments-on-the-series/#findComment-389795 Share on other sites More sharing options...
espelli Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 Wasn't the wrapped body parts the ice truck killer?! Breaking Bad sounds good, I might need to watch that to fill in the time waiting for season 6 after 5 finishes.

The series is highly rated by critics and has won many awards. Visually, it has the look and feel of a movie rather than a made-for-TV series. Definitely worth watching, in my view.
