I want to start watching Dexter,because I've heard so much about it on this board, in the papers, mags, friends etc.

but i fucked around and was reading a coworkers email with her a couple of weeks back and unbeknownest to me, it contained a big spoiler.

i asked my gf, who watches the show, how big of a spoiler was it, and she said it was huge.

so now i'm debating whether or not should make the effort.

for the record the spoiler was

his wife is killed
.....keep in mind i've never watched one episode of the show, so i don't know how big of a give away that is, but my gf and friend assure me that it is big.

what say you guys?

Definitely still worth watching anyway. I actually did a very similar thing to you and found out the exact same spoiler before I'd even started watching it. Doesn't take away from it much at all.

What shows do you like Sunny? I used to be a massive film buff but about 12 months ago I started getting hooked on TV shows and now I'm kinda lacking in the film department... but there's been a good 10-15 series' I've been addicted to, I just wouldn't necessarily recommend them to everyone.

The first episode I saw of the show was the one where that happened, but I still had no problem watching the entire series from the beginning. Of course I was always kind of thinking in the back of my head, "When's it going to happen?", but I was still able to love the show. Give the first season a whirl and see how you like it.

Well, if we're including TV series that have ended then West Wing must be included. Aaron Sorkin is a writing genius.

Seconded. Also endorsing The Sopranos, Homicide: Life on the Street, Buffy, Angel, Firefly, Rome, Carnivale,etc

Carnivale,

this is one i've been curious about for awhile, i've seen Rome and pretty much every other HBO series but I missed this one. might give it a look.

BTW the new series Shameless on Showtime seems pretty interesting, caught the first 2 episodes and it's definitely original.

Apart from being a direct scene for scene remake of the UK original. :tongue2:

You're right though it has been good so far.

Oh wow, I wasn't even aware. Well damn, chalk another up for the UK then :lol: I like it

watch it anyway, i don't think it's such a big thing tbh. she was bad for the series anyway. + it happens pretty late in the series (don't want to give away any seasons)

Yeah the UK show's in its 8th season now, if you enjoyed the Showtime version you might want to give this a try too. The last five seasons have been shit but the first three were really good and James McAvoy got his big break playing Steve in it.

I'm really enjoying the US version up to now though, they've got the casting spot on and I don't think the change of location has hurt it at all.

I'd really recommend watching the UK Pilot alongside the US one too. They're using the exact same script and it's shot scene for scene identically. Really pretty cool to see em both and the different approach they've taken to the same material.

damn, the video is blocked in my area :(

but that's cool as fuck, i'll see if I can download the first season somewhere to start off with, and watch an original UK episode after a new one is aired on Showtime. don't wanna get to ahead especially since you said the scripts are basically the same.

Neighbours.

omg Sonya is Callum's mum.

should i spoiler that shit?

lol the perth fag watches neighbours, surprised? no :rofl-lol:

^ideal, great BBC comedy (never thought Id say that) but its hillarious, basically the storyline is Moz (Johnny Vegas) deals drugs from his appartment, and people come in and out of his apartment all the time, wanting him to rob people, people steal from him etc...

its a great show

Yeah, after hearing a couple of responses here, I think I will check it out. I actually did the same thing with The Wire as I was watching it, I read on the 'net something about,

McNulty's funeral; I assumed he died and stop watching it all together. Once I started watching again, I realized that what I thought and what actually happend couldn't have been further from the truth.

Anyway, 'preciate all the suggestions; I'll definitely check out some of the ones I haven't seen already. Real quick, anyone know anything about the Showtime series Spartacus? Had two people in IRL, mention it as a show to watch.

The Tudors

Uggh, no thanks. I started to try and watch this show based on a couple of forum members recommendation, but every 5 minutes there is a sex scene and, well that got old quick. If I want to watch porn...I'll go watch porn.
