Dexter Season 3
Ever since Tony Soprano got whacked I’ve been searching for my next addiction. The Sopranos was without a doubt the best continuing saga I’d come across on TV. I’d wait each week and each season for the next twist or turn in the life and times of the world’s most neurotic, dangerous and yet lovable, mob boss.
But then it all ended in 10 seconds of black and silence, sending millions of fans into an anti-climatic realization that it was over. Over forever. I tried shows like 6 Feet Under, Deadwood and The Wire but none of them hooked me. I wasn’t reeled in.
That is, until I came across Dexter.
A friend of mine told me about this HBO show, not available in Canada, and that he had the first season downloaded off the interweb. He thought I’d like it. Dexter, the lead character, is a serial killer who kills serial killers. I filed it under “yeah right”. Then, the Movie Network picked it up and I fluked across it. I watched it. Dexter was riveting. Neurotic, dangerous and lovable.
So… I picked up on all the reruns of seasons one and two. Now, I can’t freakin’ wait for season three to start. I’ve got 4000 channels and nothing’s on TV. That is until September 28, when the the premiere of Season 3 airs. Check out the trailer below.
Welcome to my Web Blah... er, Blog.

I got rid of the movie network over the summer and about 5 minutes into me dropping the channels, I realized I would be missing Dexter and Bullshit. So, a couple of weeks ago I put them back on. I use to watch Carnivale, but they canceled it after 2 seasons and left their audience high and dry. HBO really pisses me off sometimes.

Yeah… you never know what is going to catch on and what isn’t. I think Dexter is going to stick around. There’s a lot of buzz surrounding it.

This is my kind of movie. What station do you get it on? Do you think I will be able to pick it up here?

Yes… it’s on the Movie Network. It’s a weekly series. Costco has the first two seasons for sale, $26 per season. If you are planning to start watching, I recommend that you buy them, just so you can catch up. And so I can copy them from you the next time I’m in town!

I am a huge Dexter fan and I’m happy to meet a few more. …personally I was thrilled when season 1 was introduced to the masses on Prime time Free tv, one of the big three but I can’t remember.
Season 3 will rule all! BTW, If anyone is looking for a show that will hook you, try NBC’s “Heroes”
