New show @ 10 PM Sunday Showtime
Getting great write ups. Stars Michael Hall of 6 Feet Under as a police investigator of serial killers who finds them on his own & tortures them before killing them as he is a serial killer himself
Sounds interesting

It. Is. BRILL.
That is all.
Suzanne: I never use catalogs. I'd rather go in the store and see all the salespeople groveling and sucking up to you.
Julia: Pardon me, I never knew they were so solicitous at the K-Mart.

Posted: 10/3/06 at 1:50pmI'm so pissed I don't have Showtime anymore. First, no more of Gale Harold's ass. Now I get to miss Michael Hall.

If you ask nicely, Calvin, maybe I'll DVR it for you.

By ask he means beg, Rath, which means nothing's changed.

You should have some kind of party anyway - I'm going to be living right across town from you soon enough, btw.

Only the people he's about to kill...he straps them naked to a makeshift operating table with yards of Saran Wrap and starts slicing them up while they're alive.
Fun times.
I really enjoy the show, but I cannot STAND the Sgt. Doakes character...the lines they give him are straight out of the Fisher Price "My First Script" Workshop; he is also a very poor actor, IMHO...however, the body on that man MORE than makes up for it.
I also really hate his sister...not only does she look like she's half-horse (but we let SJP get away with it, so it's ok), but she is a TERRIBLE actress!!!!! She also really doesn't have much of a point, except perhaps to highlight the inhumanity of Dexter's sociopathology. (She obviously loves him tremendously, and as his only extant family, they make a point of showing how he PRETENDS to love her back, but he really feels nothing).
There could also perhaps be a *tiny* bit less narration...but I sort of like it.
The writing needs to be cleaned up a bit, but it's a great show...(remember SATC the first season? UGH!!!)

saw the previews.....strange.
We only get basic cable, so no change of seeing it til a year later when I can rent it
It is ridiculous to set a detective story in New York City. New York City is itself a detective story...
