5.0 out of 5 stars Well worth it, for me, May 27, 2009
This review is from: Dexter Season 1 (Amazon Instant Video)
Given the subject matter of the show it will tend to be polarizing for those that can enjoy it and those that can't. It is dark but it is also strangely funny and all in all a very good show. My favorite show in a long time, but it isn't for everyone. You can look on the series subject matter before ever watching a show and decide if it is something you think you could stand watching. If so then give a few shows a shot from season one, more than likely you will know if you want to keep watching all the seasons within the first 3-4 shows.

In my opinion the show is well worth paying for, the way many episodes end I am not sure I would be able to last watching it like a normal season on Showtime having to wait a week to see what comes next. With so many shows that I used to enjoy becoming boring and uninspired (I'm looking at you House) this show continues to offer me something each season being better than the last.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous show...one of the best ever made..., December 12, 2011
This review is from: Dexter Season 1 (Amazon Instant Video)
I read the first book, Darkly Dreaming Dexter, which was amazing, and that prompted me to check out Season 1 from our local library. It was even better than the book..Michael C. Hall is perfection in this role and every one of the 12 episodes in this first season was riveting. I am totally hooked and look forward to watching Seasons 2-5 which are available also through our library. Yes there is some violence, but not really like you see in extreme slasher films. Much of the actual killings are implied with the scene cutting away right at the awful moment so it is not TOO graphic....considering that that main character is a serial killer focused on catching another serial killer throughout the twelve episodes.

If you haven't given Dexter a watch yet, you won't be disappointed. He's really quite likable!
