I don't get Showtime, but my gf does, and she likes the show a lot. I need to check out an episode that next time I'm at her place.

You should have mentioned that when we were hanging out. I could have gotten you Showtime. Even if you had Cablevision. I know the promos, you might have been entitled to one.

TVTorrents is all you ever need.

Cool. Maybe next time.

There is a HR HDTV torrent up at mininova.

Public trackers are for tards.

I agree. But I lost all my logins so I'm currently stuck.

I just finished season 1 and really enjoyed it, even if the main plot was a little predictable. M.C. Hall was really, really great.

I think I might check out the book.

Cheers to Andrew for originally bringing it to my attention

Dexter is the best original series Showtime has ever had, and better than 99.9% of the shit on TV these days. To those that have an interest in the books (there are two; "Darkly Dreaming Dexter" and "Dearly Devoted Dexter", with a third book coming this summer), I highly recommend them. Fans of the show will be surprised at how different the first book's ending is compared to the season finale. From what I understand, the second season will cover the events of the second novel.

I just got done watching the entire series. That was some of the best tv I've seen in years, and I'm a bit worried that season 2 won't live up to it. Looking forward to finding out, though.

I love this show. It's great. The books are not bad themselves. The show has so much more character type things added, and it makes it almost its own entity.

But from what I've read myself, the second season will deviate from the book series, as the second book makes some radical changes to one of the characters. Doakes gets both of his feet, hands, and tongue removed by a serial killer that plays a deadly game of Hangman. Turns people into "howling, featureless potatoes."

I seem to have found where I read that info.
From here

The producers were very tight lipped on specific story points for the upcoming second season of Dexter, though they noted that production begins May 21st for a projected September 30th premiere date. Cerone did say that season two would be about, "Dexter's search for meaning. 'Who am I and what is my purpose?'" He also said more questions of good and evil would be raised, noting that Dexter himself is, "basically amoral," and that how different audience members perceive him depends on who each person is themselves. The audience applauded the news that C.S. Lee ("Makuska") would be a regular in season two. Hall noted that Lee frequently adlibs his characters funny lines, and referenced a scene in the episode we'd just seen that the two shared, saying, "That was probably the only take where I didn't laugh." Cerone talked about how the writers added a lot of elements not in the novels, when adapting the first book into the first season. However, while he praised the novels, he said they, "Didn't see the opportunity in the second book," to continue on the emotional path they wish to go, and that they would not be following the novels storylines any longer. Vélez said she for one was fine with that, because, "I'm not even in the second book!"

Oh, and Season One hits DVD on August 21st.

Dexter kills Leguardia in the first novel. And lets the ice truck killer go free.
