I have recently watched the first three seasons, and I really enjoy it. Anyone else here like it?

P.S. Please don't spoil anything about any of the seasons past three. I heard season four was really good, but that's it. I don't want to know anything more until I watch it for myself.

The newest one was horrible. Other than that, yes, even though the end of the second newest one was also horrible.

Dexter is a modern superhero :-)

It always scared me how much Dexter reminded me of myself. It's even scarier how much Debra reminded me of my sister.

Dexter's great, I watched the first three seasons in like 4 nights, then four five and six as they each ended. A friend of mine works in the TV industry and told me recently that the cast and crew has signed contracts for seasons seven AND eight! AWESOME!

Anyone read the books?
I´m just curious to know if reading them might be worthwhile.

I like it, but the last few seasons have been a bit of a mixed bag. The first two seasons and season four were brilliant though.

I loved the first two. The plans the tricks oh what fun. Never understood how dexter wrote off his trip to kill the psychotically unbalanced Narcotics Anonymous sponsor. 3 was fail. Dexter would not befriend his own brother but he will someones brother he killed? Season 4 was my last because season 5 was so bad.

Dexter was a show about a killer. Someone that must kill his way. He would never let her live.

Indeed! He always has to 'fake it', about emotions too. I was thinking "This is me" for most of season 1. (less the killing jones, that is!)
I like the progression he has made over the seasons though -as noted from the flashback of his first date with Rita. (S4 or 5)

Who? Lumen?

He didn't have a reason to kill her. He does it for the thrill of it, and nowadays if they pose a threat. She was neither.

Guess, I´ll answer this myself since I just finished reading the first book.
It was quite good (as far as crime/mystery fiction goes, it´s not my favourite choise of genre), although knowing what´s going to happen takes some of the fun out of it.
There are some differences but overall the tv series is a very faithful adaptation. The monologues in Dexter´s mind are pretty much lifted directly from the book, so that might give you an idea of how it is written.
If what I´ve heard is true the other books take a different route than the tv sequels, so I just might give it a try.
Before that I think I´ll check out season 6.
