Okay, I get it now!

For a while now I’ve heard people talk about how much they love the show Dexter on Showtime. And I just didn’t get it. So out of curiosity this weekend I picked up season one and let me tell you….I’m obsessed! The guy is a serial killer….yet I like him. It’s so strange but SO good!
I have four episodes left until I finish the season and I can’t wait! 
So tell me, what other awesome shows am I missing out on????

    I've never watched Dexter but I've always heard I need to, so I think you just convinced me to start 🙂 My current favorite is How I Met Your Mother…I've always heard about they hype around it, and finally started watching…and let me tell you–it's HILARIOUS. Favorite show at the moment!

    Dexter is addicting! It always keeps me guessing and I just get sucked in. I'm watching the third season of "Ugly Betty" right now. If you haven't watched it, it's a good one!

    I love Dexter! My favorite season was season 4 – so good!

    I also love Sons of Anarchy on FX. Never thought I'd be so into a show about a motorcycle gang…but I am. It's so good.

    Love Dexter! I was late to the party because we don't have Showtime, but, we caught it on vacation and now loooove it.

    And ditto Melissa, Sons of Anarchy is SO.SO.GOOD. It's my favorite show on TV and I thought I would hate because it's about a motorcycle gang, but, it's really about their family, their struggles and their life. The acting is killer and you really end up rooting for them. LOVE IT.

    Sons of Anarchy soapbox rant over now….

    Love Dexter, Weeds is good, Californication is a must although it is a little dirty at points and I loved the Tudors. Honestly, most of the time, Showtime series hit it out of the park for me.

    I LOVE DEXTER!!!!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!

    Me and Netflix had a date with Dex every night after work for 2 seasons and then…..poof Netflix decides that the rest of the seasons are DVD only( not instant streaming) and my heart was broken!

    I need to catch back up!

    If you like Dexter you'll like Lost. It's slow starting out but then it gets so good. Trust me I was one of the ppl who was "why are ppl so obcessed with Lost" and then I watch and found out why.

    FYI getting through the 1st seasons a lil hard but stick with it!

    oh and Jersey Shore! Cabs are here!
