I recently saw a few clips and trailers of this show on YouTube and it has me intrigued to say the least... the first season is coming out on DVD in February and I am considering buying it. Anyone acually seen an episode of this and reccomend it?

I've seen the first three episodes on foxtel but I'm not home enough to regularly watch a tv show. I'm going to buy the DVD when it comes out because I loved what I saw of it.

This show kicks all kinds of ass. I've seen both seasons and they absolutely rule. Even better is that the second goes on a very different tangent to the first.

Get the DVD, I know I will. Awesome writing, awesome acting, everything. Even the opening credits are amazing.

DO WANT.

I actually saw Dexter first so it was a big wtf when I watched Six Feet Under. Took a while to get used to it, haha.

First season was fantastic. Fell off a little in the second season, but that's entirely forgivable considering this show is still much more entertaining than most of the other stuff out there...

I'm half way through it and it's really good

Yes. The second book was my favourite out of the first two (the first one seemed a little repetitive, but I'm not sure if that's because I was watching the first season of the show at the same time). Going to go and buy the third one on Monday! :)

Yeah I've read the first one, it's pretty good but to be honest I actually prefer the TV series and what it's done with the source material. The books tend to go for the supernatural so far as I can tell while the series doesn't at all.

I agree with you there. While the second book veered away from the "supernatural" a little, the third is right back into it stronger than ever (or so I've heard). What I think is really fantastic about the TV series is how it shows Dexter relating to and dealing with "real life", without giving him the chance to constantly verbalise his pov/what is going on in his mind (as the books do).

I still love both the book and the TV series, but for totally different reasons.

I've heard my sister talk about this, sounds pretty good

I loved six feet under, but I'm not sure I can imagine a straight David Fisher :(
