Re: TV Shows
Anyone else watch the first episode of Homeland last night (Showtime, after Dexter)?
I still haven't seen the Boardwalk premiere so I just watched this last night. I really enjoyed it. Pretty excited for this show, actually.

Best new show of the year!!!
Col Winters from Band of Brothers, Claire Danes, and the hottie from Firefly and V. Claire Danes' character is extremely well written and being that she is a real actress she pulls it off great. The acting is off the charts in this show.
I'm definitely glad I cancelled HBO and stuck with the cheaper (and now better) Showtime. HBO needs to step up its game.
Right now I have:
Showtime:
Dexter
Homeland
Borgias
Californiacation
vs
HBO:
Game of Thrones
Treme
True Blood
Boardwalk empire is too boring for me so it is not on my HBO list. But it looks like HBO is now only a half year subscription.

dexter
same as always. crappy writing and acting, but solid performance by the michael c hall. at least the villain element looks pretty good/disturbing this year.

Yeah, the acting wasn't the greatest outside of MCH. I agree that the villain element looks good/disturbing. Overall, I was happy with the first episode.shmenguin wrote:dexter

Re: TV Shows
I didn't watch Dexter, but heard the girl from USA High and She Spies had an interesting scene in the premier. Was she just doing a one-off, or is she a reoccurring character?

Not sure if this is for the movie or tv show thread, but it sounds like the 24 movie production is ramping up

Re: TV Shows
That's really the best way to watch a series. I watched five seasons of Dexter over Christmas break last year (something I rarely do with my wife and kids still in school for the first week of vacation - HEAVENLY WOOO!), and it was really a great way to get into a series. The whole wait a week between episodes and six months between seasons isn't much fun.PensFanInDC wrote:We watched 2 seasons of Dexter in the last 2 weeks and the season 6 premier last night.

I plan on doing that with Breaking Bad this year, barring an illness/emergency that eats my vacation time up before then.

I enjoyed the Dexter episode, but I've always thought the show could easily fall apart with the performances of the other regulars. David Zayas played the bad general in the horrendous Expendables movie. I laughed every time his character was on screen for Dexter.
