Does anyone else on here watch Dexter?

My brother got me watching it about 2 months ago starting with Season 1 on Netflix. Needless to say, I'm hooked. I just finished Season 3 and will be starting Season 4 tonight. Dexter is a serial killer who works in law enforcement. He lives by a code his cop father taught him where he only kills other killers. Basically, he takes out the trash. While I enjoy the story lines and "who done its," I'm not sure if I'm for him getting caught or not. Anyone else on the fence wondering if you are amoral because you sometimes want him to succeed?

I think it started off well enough but after Season 1 it became obvious that Dexter is far too emotional about things to be a psychopath. Maybe he has RADs?

I have thought the same thing many times while watching. Although, I think part of what Harry said about learning to "fit in" is what the writers are trying to get at. What's RADs?

not going to spoil anything, but wait until season 4.

John Lithgow is about as good as jimmy smits in season 3.

the twists are unexpected.

I have not watched it so far this year. I'll wait until I have it on dvd and prolly do a 2 day marathon. Season 4 was really good. I hope 5 lives up to it.

My brother has seen both 4 and 5. He says they are both great. I'm looking forward to it.

So am I the only one who feels a little guilt that I sometimes want to not get caught? lol

Dexter is one of my favorite shows. I watched one episode from Netflix and was hooked. My husband and I both like it. I'll have to do a marathon viewing of season 5 here soon (I'm too impatient to have to wait a whole week to watch the next episode during the season, so I record them all and watch them over a few days when the season ends LOL).

MXMatt: I don't want him to get caught. He is taking out people that cause harm to others and mostly puts a lot of time in to making sure he follows the "code". Maybe you shouldn't feel so guilty? LOL

I saw one episode and was hooked as well, i think season 2. Its by far my favorite show. This year was really good. There is no way i could have gone the whole season and not watched until the end. It is the only T.V show i record.
