I heart Dexter because I’m a fan of Michael C. Hall :) He won me with Six Feet Under, and I’ll follow him anywhere! :D
I don’t have Showtime but wish I did so I could watch this.
Well, I don’t have Showtime, wish I could watch this!!
Dexter is such a magnetic, compelling, exciting show! Every single character, not just Michael C. Hall’s Dexter, is complex and interesting to watch. You feel moved and intrigued by each character’s growth – La Guerta, Deb, Doakes, Lundy, Rita – and especially Lily. I wait with delicious anticipation every Sunday to watch Dexter – it is so much more than your average serial killer show!!!
The underlying air of creepiness pulls me in and keeps me tuning into Dexter week after week.
he’s sooooooooooo cute
Ive been DYING to see this show.. I dont have showtime but I LOVED six feet under and I’d be really excited to win this prize.
don’t have it showtime but would love it
I love Dexter because of its moral complexity. I never thought I’d find myself rooting for a serial killer,
but I totally am! And so far, the storylines are so good, not obvious like many shows out there but well-
thought out so by the time the season ends you feel that the story is complete, versus just a bunch of episodes.
I’ve never seen this show. It looks good though.
It is a great show!
I like Dexter because there’s a little bit of Dex in all of us.
Dexter is sweet and deadly. What more could one ask?
It’s a complex character in a complex show, and very well done.
I love Dexter because I think we can all relate to him a bit.
Thanks for the contest
I actually have never seen this show, but have wanted to so here’s hoping I win so that I can!
Murder, mayhem and Michael C. Hall? I’m in!
I dont have show time so i have never seen it
Good show
I love Dexter because he is such a fascinating character. He is very charismatic and not bad looking either :)
Who’s Dexter?
I am entering because Dexter is my grown sons favorite show and I would love to give him this as a gift.
Dexter is a cutie!
love to win
Sounds like a nice show. I don’t have cable. But probably would love this show
I like this show because it does such a good jog of developing Dexter’s personality.
I keep hearing great things about this show. I’d love to get to see it!
cool
Dexter is a fun to watch bad guy.
Great Contest! Never seen it but I REALLY want to!
Haven’t seem it yet but heard about it.
Haven’t actually watched this but want to!
I’ve never seen it (no showtime) but I like Michael C. Hall from 6 Feet Under.
Dexter is such a multi-layered character that the character doesn’t even understand himself. It’s really fascinating to watch him peel back the layers.
I really like the narration of the show. It gives the otherwise dark grim subject matter an
innocent, childlike protaganist (or antagonist depending on how you view dexter).
TV TV TV got to have my TV.
I love him because he’s sexy!
I love Dexter because it is unique and there is no other show like it.
I don’t have Showtime and have never seen Dexter but have heard such wonderful things about it and would love to see it. Thank you for the chance!
what a great show
‘Cause he is one of a kind.
I like this show. A serial killer that only kills serial killer’s.
Dexter is creepy and interesting to watch.
I love Dexter because he has a set of morals which is ironic in a serial killer. Plus he’s witty.
My wife thinks he’s great!
i think he is awesome!
Dexter is a sexy antihero
He is quite a character.
I love Dexter because he is played brilliantly by Michael C. Hall.
P.S. Showtime, please release Dexter on HD DVD and print some more LG shirts for your online store. TIA!
I love the humor on Dexter!!
I watch Dexter because… I can identify with him.
Dexter is funny!
Why I Love Dexter? where to start i guess with the irony in the show a forensic’s officer whos also a serial killer whos bother just happened to be one also DRAMA!!!! not to mention all the characters are great. the storie lines are just crazy the writer and directors both should have some shinny hardware in there office and last but not least. the fact that DEXTER is able to live is virtually like a shadow, everyone see’s him but nobody truely see’s him.
I love Rita and how she seems to complete Dexter! I hope Debra(his sister) NEVER finds out about his secret pasttime.
Why I like Dexter? It’s simple in that he’s complex. He is a serial killer that you can’t help but like. He has a keen sense on human tendencies yet he is unable to be a normal human….and he struggles with this everyday.
I love Dexter because it’s funny in a way that’s just… wrong!
I haven’t seen the show yet – and I’d love to – I’ve heard nothing but good things about it.
I missed this show and am hoping to catch up.
Dexter is an anti-anti-hero, which works for me. Anti-heroes like Tony Soprano do evil for evil’s sake, but Dexter does evil for good’s sake. Not that the cops would care…
Michael Hall is a phenomenal actor.
…because he is a serial killer with a heart of gold !!!
he IS a dark defender, protecting us from our darker side of humanity. and he is sexy as all hell
Great show.
A serial killer that only kills serial killers …. unique and there’s not a lot of unique TV.
Because Dexter is the only loveable serial killer. Ever. Great show!
Dexter is such an original show!!! Michael C. Hall is absolutely fabulous as the lovable serial killer!!!
A fan of Michael C. Hall and the show is great.
I love Dexter cause he is hot!!
Dexter is such an interesting show. I’ve never seen anything like it. What a cool idea! A serial killer killing serial killers!
I need this because I LOVE Michael C. Hall.
I saw the premier episode during a showtime free preview week-end and was intruigued by the show and the characters.
Dark sense of humor. I should go to NA for my Dexter addiction, like he goes for his killing addiction.
Dexter’s sweet, he’s charming, he’s socially acceptable….but he’s also a serial killer! Makes you think…
There is nothing like this show on tv that I have ever seen. Morally challenging…its hard to describe why you are routing on a serial killer. Well rounded show…best there is on tv.
While I don’t have a lot of time to watch TV, I like to catch up via DVD. Thank you!
I want to win!
Made Me want to go out and get the book that the series is
based on.
LOOKS GOOD TO ME
I love Dexter..it is so interesting!!
Dexter is deliciously addicting. Each episode manages to surprise.
It is such a great concept for a show and has and a great cast.
I don’t have Showtime, so I have never seen the show, but it looks interesting. If I win the DVD I cam see what all the hype is about.
I LOVE THIS SHOW. Dexter is a very complex character and the show is well filmed and edited for a good flow and easy to
follow plots. It keeps me interested to watch each episode. I love this show.. and thanks for the contest and chance to comment.
This show is well written. I had no idea that a serial killer could ever be the Good Guy.
I don’t remember this show, but would like to see it.
Forensics has always fascinated me… what a brilliant show!
Its an awesome show! I am addicted!
I read the book that this TV show is based on. I have to admit it is one of the most intriguing stories I have ever read.
I do not have Showtime; however, I would love to win the DVD as the show sounds very interesting.
This is a really good show!!!
Would love to see it
Michael C. Hall is sexy and likable even though he is a killer. weird.
Dexter is one our of favorite shows. We make sure we watch it every week! Keep taking out the bad ones Dex !!!
sure would love this! never seen the show but would like to get into it.
Love Dexter because of the clever premise…
I like Dexter because he is very interesting to watch
I don’t get Showtime so I need to see this on dvd.
I love Dexter because it’s a true original.
Nothing like it has been done before.
As Dexter’s NA sponsor,Lila says, we’re all good and bad.
We all have dark moments where we see a scumbag child rapist on the news and wish news and wish something bad would happen to them.
Dexter acts on those impulses. In a way he has a sense of
fairness and justice.A deceased comic book store owner drew
Dexter as a comic book hero called The Dark Defender.
I think that suits him. He doesn’t prey on children or the weak.
He speeds up the karmic reward of criminals who deserve it.
That’s why we root for him.
haven’t seen it on the TV but well aware about the buzz it got
I love Dexter b/c he rights all the wrongs in the world. The show is brilliant, and I can’t wait for season two to come out on DVD.
I can’t get premium channel to see this show but I hear its great so would love to win so I can see it.
humorous in a dry sense
I just love weird, offbeat shows and it is so interesting!
I do not have Showtime, but but I like Michael C. Hall. I hear he is excellent in this role… A lovable serial killer??? I’ve heard so much about this, so I would love to be a winner so I can catch up on this very unusual show.
I like how it’s so much more than just about a serial killer, and in Dexter’s world, he’s not even the worse “monster” out there. And that’s all thanks to the intelligent writing and excellent acting.
I love Dexter because he’s so complex, lives within his own limits of life.
Ah, Dexter. I was a huge fan of Six Feet Under, but was drawn to the premise of Dexter before I even knew that M.C. Hall was the lead actor. What kept me watching was the core question that Dexter forces us to ask ourselves, namely, is there anything in this world that is purely bad or evil, in any context? Harry manipulated Dexter’s uncontrollable impulses into something good; without Harry’s guidance, Dex would have undoutedly become another thoughless killer. If Dexter sticks to “the code” he can’t possibly harm an innocent person. So instead of following one extreme and harming innocent people, he adopts the polar opposite and protects them from others who have lost their way. The realization that all this leads to is that *anyone*, no matter what hand they’ve been dealt in life, can use their abilities (“good” or “bad”) to help people, or to hurt them. And when the day is through, we all know what our true intentions are; it’s pretty easy to lie to others, but it’s pretty hard to lie to yourself. Kudos to Jeff Lindsay and the production team behind the -only- current show that makes me anticipate the next episode with such a fever.
great show
A differnt take on the serial killer. A definate watcher!
I dig serial killer movies. Dexter is superior because it is a series and a very good one as well.
This sounds like it would be worth owning.
Michael C. Hall is cute.
Dexter is one of the reasons we have kept Showtime.
The show always keeps on the edge of our seats. Dexter is the man.
I Love Dexter!
I love Michael Hall and I am “dying” to see this series, but I am unable to at this time. I love series like this
I haven’t had a chance to watch this but going by the description and all of the comments, it sounds like a great movie that I’d love! Thanks for the fun giveaway! ~ :)
Such a great show!
A detective who takes care of busines himself, and is able to hide it… What a great storyline
What’s not to love?
Yeah, a good serial killer!
I have only gotten to watch a few episodes of Dexter which I enjoyed.
I haven’t seen this yet but I would love too it looks like a great show
I love Dexter because it’s so different from the shows I normally watch. Dexter is one unique guy and I love to see what he is going to do next.
because it’s one of the best shows!
Dexter is a well written and superbly acted show..really great. I loved the twist at the end of season 1.
I like him because he’s CREEPY!
Dexter is the ultimate struggle between good and bad within one’s own self. I love this show!
Love Michael C. Hall from 6 Feet Under, but never got to see this show – would really like to!
because he’s crazy
I fell for Dexter when I got an advanced copy of the Darkly Dreaming Dexter. He is just creepy sexy.
Hi there, would LOVE to win this show…don’t get the channel it is on, but my friend swears by this show…
sounds great!
I like Dexter because the premise is so unusual. I love unusual.
Never thought I’d find myself cheering for a killer. Who knew?
cool
I like Dexter because it is an unusual show. I hope I win!
Very unusual show, keeps me interested!
The concept, the horror, the hit.
For me, Dexter is all about the juxtaposition. A seemingly emotionless killer spends the episodes narrating his feelings. Dark humor is accompanied by a cheery, latin-influenced score.
That, and Michael C. Hall’s grin. The Cheshire Cat has nothing on Hall for creepy smiles.
Thanks to everybody that left a comment and entered TVaholic’s first giveaway. The entry period has ended with 138 comments. Good luck to everyone, as I will be randomly selecting the winners soon!
Well, Dexter is a very Intriguing. I think this becuase of how suspensefull it is, it just makes
me want to watch the next episode more and more. The way Dexter just kills those people, no emotions
no feelings, its just so wierd, in a good way of course. I find Dexter addicting, like drugs are
for drug addicts…i cant seem to get enough!!.
Anywho, i absolutly LOVEEEE the show more then any other shows out there, and i dont care if i win
the prizes, as long as everyone knows how good Dexter iss. The prozes are simply just a bonus to
writing this comment.
Thanks
From your addicted fan: Niki
