t4terrific Wrote:I've read the first book. I've also watched the first two seasons. The first season followed the first book (Darkly Dreaming Dexter) rather closely until the end approached. Naturally the show was more detailed.
Has anyone read the rest of the series? Does the Showtime series continue to follow the books at all? I know one promient character would be missing.
I'm looking forward to the August dvd release of season 3.
From earlier posts I think the second season goes in a different direction then the books. I am halfway through the second season and I love it. It seems like every episod im nervous for dexter or holding my breath thinking something is going to happen. Great tv show. I got the audio books to listen to the books while I work I should be starting the first book tomorrow.
I finished the first book and I have to say the show is better then the book for once. The book was sort of short and to the point where the tv could expand on and make into a really good show.

In the show I would have rather had Laguerta die like in the book rather than Doakes in the second season. At least Doakes was funny sometimes where as Laguerta was annoying(her sleeping with the leutenants fiance to get her job back was a nice touch though.)
Anyone see the panel from comic con? Looks like John Lithgow will be playing the serial killer Miami Dade police will be going after in the next season and Lundy will be making a return and sending dexter in as a sort of under cover. Sounds really good. Can't wait.
