The show stars Michael C. Hall (Six Feet Under) as the title character Dexter Morgan, a Miami-based serial killer who works for the Miami Metro Police Department as a blood spatter analyst.

The first season finished airing on December 17, 2006. On November 2, 2006, Showtime renewed the series for a second season which began shooting on May 21, 2007 and premiered on September 30, 2007. Showtime President Robert Greenblatt has confirmed a third season is planned.

If you haven't been watching dexter, you should be, it is bar none, the best, most well written show on television. It follows Dexter Morgan, who suffered a traumatic experience in his childhood before being adopted by a police officer, Harry Morgan. Harry recognizes Dexter's sociopathic tendencies at a young age, and teaches Dexter how to channel his urges properly: basically by killing, and dissecting those who deserve it.
You should do what you can to get a hold of these episodes and get caught up, as you wouldn't want to start watching it as it airs, because the second season is almost over, and character development, and an ongoing plot are a big part of this show. Christmas isn't too far off, and season 1 is out on DVD. Hell get it as a gift for your mom/dad, or significant other and make them watch it with you, you will not regret it.
I wouldn't bother reading the books, 1 was alright, I didn't make it through the second to be honest, and three is generally regarded as crap.
And for people who do watch it (oh god I hope some of you do).

Spoiler for newest episode:

Three episode left, we'll see what happens.

I've watched the first series ...pure brilliance unfortunately in Good old merry england we won't get the second series for a while (has it even been made) still i love it! It's also quite funny in a sinister way.
