Dexter

[SmokeMeAKipper]

The book came first and the the first season broadly follows the first novel "Darkly Dreaming Dexter" (i.e. the Ice-Truck Killer) but there are some notable differences - Wikipedia has a good overview so check that out if you're interested. The main ones being Angel has a virtually anonymous role in the book and

LaGuerta gets killed at the end and Dexter lets his brother go instead of killing him as in the series. Also, there was no relationship between Dexter's brother and Deb.

The main reason for this was that the book was relatively short, 250-odd pages, whereas the series is much more fleshed out at 12 or so episodes. The book was OK but I think the series is much better. I've heard that the third and latest book takes a terrible turn as it is revealed that

Ive been tempted to download Series 2 but it starts on FX on Sky in a couple of weeks so I think I can wait it out

Awesome, September can't come soon enough with both this and Heroes airing

[Rossco]

Wow wow wow wow wow!

Started watching this back in April with the ex and left the DVD's at hers and never got them back but eventually hoovered up the rest of Season 1 and all of season 2 in the last few days!

Absolutely astounding TV. Really really enjoyed it, up there with Prison Break for me being the only two good shows in circulation now. 24 kinda lost it's footing and has had a massive break and Heroes got really ****. So it's brilliant to get something so fresh and entertaining now.

Roll on September for Season 3.

Watched first five episodes of season one last week, cracking show I wish I'd started watching when it first aired - remember it started at a time when there was loads of good USA stuff already on. The good old days eh.

Nice to be behind on a show though and watch episode after episode wiithout having to wait a week in between
