Marc B. Wrote:Did anyone watch the series premiere last night on Showtime? What a brilliant show! For those that don't know the premise:
By day, Dexter works for the Miami police working in forensics and helps solve murders. By night, Dexter is a murder... but he only kills those that deserve it: other murders. The series has some wonderful dark humor too.
If you get Showtime do check out the series.
I don't know where my brain was when this series was playing, but I missed it! I'm hoping it will come out on DVD.
For those of you who like horror, true crime and/or dark fiction with a comic twist, then you have to read the Dexter books. Absolutely fabulous! I read
Darkly Dreaming Dexter and couldn't put it down and couldn't stop laughing. Lindsay has a unique writing style that is a joy to read.
I'm starting
Dearly Devoted Dexter tomorrow!
Since the Dexter books are based in Miami, my hometown, I can tell you Lindsay totally NAILED the feel of the place and the people. Amazing. I can't wait until the third book comes out in August.
