The show gets me and then it loses me everytime...like season one had me and season 2 kept me happy...season three I lost interest and just barely kept up, then saw the preview for season four and caught back up for it....best decision...and then season 5 killed it again...blah...its a love hate thing.
Books were so so, mostly because I see nothing worthwhile in his writing other then the standard dexter idea that the show has really progressed on where I dont feel the books did as well....

I really like the story-- reminds me sort of like Death Note but the pace moves a little too slow for me. I don't know if it's me not getting into the the characters or whatever but every episodes seems to interest me like 20% of the time while the other 80% seems like a boring filler (for example the whole subplot with Dexter and the single mom)

Like said before, if you're in the 2nd season and aren't into it by now...chances are you're not going to like the further seasons.
I loved it when I watched Season one on a whim when I had a free preview of Showtime. I had to dodge spoilers and buy the DVD's after each season ended, until I finally upgraded for last season.

The show has horrible side stories and weak characters besides Dexter IMO. The show is good but definitely not as great as people claim.

I really enjoy it, but if you don't like it now, you'll never like it most likely.

But the villain's have been pretty badass for the most part. The show doesn't really focus on the other that much anyways. Seems like most of the side stories tie in with Dexter at the end.

I compare Dexter to Breaking Bad... if you get through the pilot and aren't interested, you probably never will be. Especially if you get through Season 2 and aren't interested. The show is called 'Dexter' so it has to be about him. My only real problem has been Quinn. Quinn. That said, I love the show and am awaiting Season 6. Season 4 of Breaking Bad, too, come to think of it.

Not only does he just dominate on Dexter, but he was absolutely INCREDIBLE for every season of Six Feet Under My only real problem has been Quinn. Quinn. . you too buddy; you too
