We used to watch Dexter, but it was too graphic a show and we finally gave up on it.
Definitely not for the kids, It’s a particularly gruesome at points, I agree, but it is in my mid, also one of the most unique plot lines to hit the small screen in a while. Can’t say i’m a horror flick fan at all, but i do like the plot twists of ‘Dexter’. Can’t really say that you could call ‘Dexter’ a “horror show” anyways...but it most definitely is dark...in plot and humor.
But if you think ‘Dexter’ is too graphic, don’t watch ‘Sweeney Todd’. It makes ‘Dexter’ look antiseptic by comparison. >;o)
