    Just watched the first episode of this and...:wtf:

    Great concept. Very dark. Pitch black and more then a smattering of black comedy. Fantastic performance from the lead.

    Mixed thoughts ATM, it could be fantastic, or it could get real bad, real quick.

    So no one else is watching this?

    I didn't think the audiance was jaded enough to not view with some curiosity a show about a serial killing forensic pathologist :shrug:

    No, just Dexter ;)

    This certainly ain't a cartoon.

    I saw an ad for it once, but I've forgotten what it was about now.

    Looked like one of those X-Filesy looking shows.
    All dark and greenish.

    Jeez, howcome all the edgy shows are dark and greenish?

    Started in the 90's.
    Annoying me now.

    Granted cold hues are stark, but lets have some moonlight blue and a touch of violet in there too.
    Mix it up.

    ^A serial killer who preys on other serial killers works as a forensic specialist for the Miami PD. There he is, killing people who might otherwise get away with murder, when he gets involved in a case where a particularly crafty serial killer seems to be wanting to play mind games with him.

    I've been watching it and it's pretty compelling.

    The title sequence, which consists of Dexter getting up, getting dressed and having breakfast before leaving his apartment is probably creepier than 90 percent of what's supposed to be creepy on TV.

    I must have :(

    The actor that plays Dexter, he has such an eerie aura. The way he speaks is so monotone and his whole body language looks awkward. Fantastic stuff.

    I await the moment his 'urges' bring him into conflict with another red headed Miami forensics expert. That's right kids - Dexter Vs Horatio* :soma:

    The monologue has a distinct, detached, almost Fight Club feel. I like the show, but not enough to get Showtime.

    Jimmy Neutron is better, especially with all the sexual tension between Jimmy and Cindy Vortex. :borg:

    Can't decide...should I go with:

    "HA HA HA. HA HA-HA HA HA!"

    or...

    "Oooo...what does THIS button do?!"

    The spineless little jellyfish.

    Every time Timmy Turner from Fairly Oddparents pops into his dimension, he stands idly by while Timmy makes him a cuckhold.

    I'd pay a lot of money to watch Michael C. Hall behead David Caruso, hold the severed head aloft and scream "put your sunglasses on now, bitch!"

    I have to say that I like it... I TiVO it on Sunday nights.

    To hear how detached he is from society during his voice overs is creepy, but at the same time, I recognize a bit of his attitudes in me...

    waitaminute... you don't think that I could end up like.... :calli:

    The one flaw I find in the show so far: Not enough Julie (Darla from "Buffy" and "Angel") Benz sex. :mad:

    That means that now you've watched it, it's going to be taken off the air! :sob: :P

    I'm just going to revive this one.

    I just storm-watched all of this series. And it's great. It's the best shit I've ever seen the lead actor in, it blows 6FU to hell.

    Damn... just damn...

    It was damn good. Actually, in my opinion, better than the book it was based on.

    However, if they base the second season on the second book, it'll kick so much ass that it'll blow my mind.

    I just saw the series finale of 6FU... I might have to retract that previous post.

    I must confess I have never cried so much during any television episode.

    I was watching 6FU on Demand and they yanked it!! For Big Love... So far, I was really enjoying 6FU... except for all the man love that occurred....

    Either Michael C. Hall is really gay or a very dedicated actor.

    ^^^ Well he deserves an Oscar, Emmy and a Tony for all the man tounge he's munched on. I can barely watch those scenes. :vomit:

    Yet, I find myself wanting his character to reunite with the Black cop dude. He's obviously totally head over heels in love with him and won't be happy any other way... His brother on the other hand, the lady he wants to marry int S2... she seems to have all the signs that yells to me "RUN FOR THE HILLS!!"

    I have got to find some way of continuing to watch 6FU... The DVD set is $230!! That's more than Trek!!
