I downloaded the entire second season from Mininova. All the episodes were 720p and had 5.1 audio. But if you don't have a HTPC, that doesn't do you much good.

I seriously sat down and watched the entire second season in one day. It was that good.

And I was that worthless.

I haven't seen it on CBS either, but considering the subject matter, the show isn't really that violent or gory. There's a few moments I can recall that might make a wuss squeamish, but it's not like you see him cutting into people all the time.

The main thing is the bad words. I find it hard to believe that Dexter's sister gets any lines on the CBS version, since every other word she says is usually a curse.

I caught one of the episodes and removing the foul language from characters like Doakes or his sister really hurts the show. Doakes can be pretty damn funny but most of his good lines are probably removed.

I don't know if I could really rank the seasons. I just rewatched S1 and S2 after finishing 3.

1 and 3 are kind of like the first and third Star Wars movies. A little more upbeat and entertaining. The second is much darker and introspective in an Empire Strikes Back kind of way.

I will say that the writers have done a phenomenal job with Dexter's character arc. It's been a dialectical process, vacillating from Harry's code to Lila's proselytizing from S1 to S2 and then finding his way back home after S3, all the while mirroring the evolution of his own identity.

I just love how he's constantly right on the edge, one bad move away from getting caught.

I don't know his name, and haven't looked him up on imdb yet, but the guy plays Dexter is phenominal. He's got that perfect blend of creepy and conartist needed for the role.

I loved the 2nd season with him and the cop going back and forth and setting him up. The british chick was a great charector also.

I don't have showtime but I love this show. Does anyone know if CBS will be re-airing this season in summer like they did last season?

If I can give you one piece of advice - do not watch it on CBS - it changes the whole show when you take away the cussing/graphic killing, etc. It's not even the same show on CBS in my opinion

Just get the DVDs if you want to watch it

Are Masuka, Dokes and his sister even allowed to talk in the CBS edits?

Precisely why I gave him that advice. I didn't see any of the CBS episodes so I don't know how they managed to try to get around all that stuff

I just started season 2. I love the show, I know they need a story and everything. But I think I liked it better in early season 1 where Dexter just didn't care about anything and was going after the bad guys. But I still like the show a lot.
