Are there any fans here of the Dexter TV Series - I was just thinking of possibly getting Seasons 1-5 on boxset from Amazon and I wanted to know if it was worth getting at all?

I'd suggest trying to watch the pilot at least (borrow a DVD from someone, or try to download it) to see if you adhere to the kind of dark humor the show is known for. A show that ran for so long (it's going to end with the 8th season) is obviously doing something right but does it have replay value? Well, if you think you can get attached to a serial killer, give it a try!
Thanks - I just feel like getting it - I'm on a bit of a serial killer kick at the moment!
Something to watch in the long dark nights of the winter... -{
Just reviving an old thread, because the dark passenger is Back!
Showtime's original hit series Dexter's sequel Dexter: New Blood aired earlier this month and just wanted to know what people think of the new show? Only just 4 episodes released, but I've enjoyed every minute :) Not only America's, but also my favourite serial killer...well in a TV-show anyway :)

Go for it
1-4 are superb!! Season 1 and 4 are my faves. Goes downhill a bit after that (different writers if I remember right)
Watching the new series but so far finding it a bit dull and sorely missing some fave characters. Think the humour missing to be honest but its early days!
There were several writing changes as the series wore on. Season 1-4 were the best, so get the set and ignore season 5.
The last two seasons were abysmal. Welcome to any series produced by Scott Buck, who also brought us The Immortals and Iron Fist.
My main gripe with the early seasons (no spoilers) is that the main plot for season two should have been the plot of either the final or the penultimate season.
I am enjoying New Blood so far.
Great series. I have also enjoyed New Blood. The old series was groundbreaking. The season, I think 3 or 4, with John Lithgow was the best one, in my opinion.

I take it that the events depicted in Dexter are rather graphic and gory in nature?
Fair bit of blood and the odd limb!! Not too bad compared to your standard horror flick
Mate, have you watched any of the episodes yet ? I really recommend for you to watch episode or two and then decide. Some of scenes are graphic and gory at times though, but what you'd expect from a serial killer LOL

No, not yet. I never got around to it. The same old story for me! I'm not the biggest fan of blood and gore but I have just about been able to sit through the Wolf Creek films and I can't imagine it's much worse than that!
