Kevin, check out “The Proximity Effect” post from awhile back about Gilmore Girls and Veronica Mars. The comments section is even more ridiculous, with an even more asinine string of hate from Gilmore Girls fans spread over a much larger gap of time. Just plain entertaining.

I’ve got to say, Rick, I think sociologists should study this set of posts. The time lapse for such hate is amazing, first of all, and also, I think it’s awesome that now it’s devolved into literal nonsense under the guise of cliche sayings. Narrow mindss yield narrow results? The blog has narrow results? Or the show would have narrow results if you wrote it? Would anyone ever want to watch a show that you could describe with the word ‘results?’ (I guess there is American Idol…but I stand by my point regardless.)

Seriously, let’s end this strike so people can complain about something new! That’s something we can all get behind! Right, bob and siro?!

Thankfully, Rick is not one of the writers for this show. Narrow minds yield narrow results.

Are you sure you’ve seen The Wire?

(I will concede that Doakes became quite an interesting character late in the second season… speaking of which, why not comment on more recent episodes?)

Dexter is easily the best television series I have ever watched. It is leagues above any other series IMO and that includes The Wire, Brotherhood, Nip/Tuck, Heroes and even Firefly.

The masterful acting inter-woven with a suspenseful plot and charisma of everything from the settings to the characters completely provide the other side to the double-edged sword that is Dexter. What other show features such a morally-ambiguous character who remains as likeable despite what he does after sunset?

And as for your comment about flat 2D characters I have to disagree 100%. Dexter’s characters all have a substance far greater than other shows, and miles away from the stereotypical ‘angry black cop’ you described. Remember it is a show focusing on one character, and even then the supporting cast go above the cut.

That’s funny, I was pretty sure I did get it. Thanks for commenting on a year old post though!

[...] was the case for this, the series second season. A year ago I speculated there wasn’t any more emotional ground to be mined from the character after the big season one revelation. On this I was completely wrong. The big [...]

Dexter may be one of the greatest tv shows in 2007. It is great. Thought out very well and no loose ends left untied. Anyone who knows good television would understand that Dexter is the greatest show airing right now!

I happen to love Dexter. I have to admit I did not like the show in the beginning, as there is so much horror in the world, I did not want to be entertained by it as well. Dexter grows on you though and Hall’s acting skills are shear genius! Dexter is a very complex individual, and the reviews I read where they wondered where Dexter would go 2nd season, I guess you have found out! Lots of surprises and a strong cast puts this show at the top in my opinion. LOVE IT!!
