Fort Boyard Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 (edited) Dexter new season Am i missing something here Dexter is meant to be a psychopath correct? Lack of empathy remorse cold calculating e.t.c so why is he starting to lose control and keep making stupid decision's acting on impulse i know its a TV show and seeing him unravel is part of the entertainment but compared with Hannibal Lecter for example he's making him look like a chump in the psychopath sweepstakes Edited July 2, 2013 by Fort Boyard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron87 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 I watch a few religiously Defiance I've started to get into it, decent enough, on Syfi on a Monday or a Tuesday I forget which since I record and watch when I'm not at work. Chicago Fire Rookie Blue Some obvious ones like How I met your mother and Big Bang Theory. One of the older ones that has ended is: 24 still one of my all time favourite shows!

I couldn't even get into the highly regarded first season. the 1st series was superb IMO, dont know if the rest was a victim of its own success or simply down to the writers strike but its an utter mess that gets worse by the episode story that drives the characters rather than characters that drive the story if that makes sense, basically the opposite of the wire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more of an overview of the show as a whole. Is it safe to assume that you haven't watched Dexter from the first season? If you did then you'd see the difference from the way he is in Season One to how he is now. A part of the show that runs throughout the seasons is watching him straddle the line between becoming more of a normal human being and going back to the darkness. Not all psychopaths are the same, and he's not exactly the stereotypical psychopath thanks to his step-father Harry who gave him the code.

Little to no thought beyond that. So once it does well and gets a second season, they don't know where to take it.# For a recent example, see Homeland.

Yep first season was very good, second got worse and worse and not sure I even completed it. Haven't bothered at all with third and didn't even realise that a fourth had been made.

Ghost Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Watching Misfits. Hilarious show. Just finished the second episode of the second season. Love it so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 (edited) Watched Hannibal I take it it's not even remotely based on Red Dragon or meant to be a precursor to the start of that book where Graham catches Hannibal. The whole ending of the season just totally put me off it. Like Homeland it's just not gonna work oast one season. Graham reversed roles with Hannibal is a stupid tangent made even worse if he ends up back with the FBI in a later season to do the catching of Hannibal. It's clear the characters are taken loosely from Red Dragon and I imagine it'll end the same with Graham catching Hannibal. But we'll be subjected to too much rubbish in between. Seems to be a serial killer every week. Sort of like how the Star Ship Enterprise kept running into a new dilemma every week Edited July 4, 2013 by CVByrne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houlston Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Did anyone watch Luther? Yeah I did, didnt realyy get the start, it was a bit cheesy and ott but the rest was good. The only thing that annoys me about it is his amazing conclusions and intuition from just looking at a mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted July 5, 2013 Moderator Share Posted July 5, 2013 I've pretty much stopped watching everything now. Just waiting for TWD to come back on. I don't mind that TV has taken a back seat tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't be wasting any more time on that. Person of Interest is really good, watch a couple more episodes to see if you get into it. Its written by the same person who wrote The Dark Knight trilogy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
