Just a few episodes into Dexter S1, the show has one of the better lead characters, and supporting casts, I've seen. (question inside)

Posted by prayformojo (aka mayhem) Feb 16 '10, 09:27

Michael C. Hall does such a great job with Dexter's disconnectedness.

Every other episode I realize how much the show would lose without Doakes among the characters.

Wasn't there a lot of railing about how bad one of the actresses was in season 1, though she improved quite a bit by season 2? Was this Jennifer Carpenter? I'm not finding her all that bad.

She smells. -- nm - HdnAgnda Feb 16, 09:36
Deb is probably in the Top 3 of awesome things about the show. -- nm - Shaun Feb 16, 09:32 1
- In Season One? blah. - JaxSean Feb 16, 09:34
Yeah, I thought she was pretty awful in season 1 but improved marginally each season. - Subversive Feb 16, 09:31
she is horrible. totally horrible....nm - x Feb 16, 09:30
Doakes?!?! By far my least favorite character. And the actor is terrible IMO. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Feb 16, 09:29 7
- Doakes is awesome. -- nm - Shaun Feb 16, 09:33
- Interesting. Among other things,..... - prayformojo Feb 16, 09:31 5
  - I'd agree that someone should be suspicious of Dexter, yes. - Cuzzin Todd Feb 16, 09:34 4
    - he was a bit to much over the top without any real reason for him being wary of Dexter. - Remlik Feb 16, 09:40 2
      - spoils - Beaker Feb 16, 09:41 1
        
        Plus (Season Two spoils) - JaxSean Feb 16, 09:43

I liked her -- nm - Beaker Feb 16, 09:28 13
- I never got all the sister hate either. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Feb 16, 09:30 11
  - And you hate Doakes. See, you're wrong. - JaxSean Feb 16, 09:31 10
    - See, now you're wrong. -season 2 major spoiler- - Cuzzin Todd Feb 16, 09:35 9
      - Season Two spoiler - JaxSean Feb 16, 09:38 8
        
        FWIW, in the books (show and book spoilers) - Jim Feb 16, 09:47 6
        
        I checked out the latest book from the library but couldn't get into it and returned it. maybe another time -- nm - oblique Feb 16, 09:53 1
        
        The guy's a horrible writer. He just happened to create a phenomenal character. -- nm - Jim Feb 16, 09:55
        
        I read the first two. I need to finish the other two. -- nm - Tiger Woods Feb 16, 09:48 3

        The 3rd one sucked pretty bad. Haven't tried the 4th one yet. -- nm - Jim Feb 16, 09:50
        
        (don't read these, prayformojo) -- nm - JaxSean Feb 16, 09:39
- from the start -- nm - Beaker Feb 16, 09:29
yeah that was her. She was horrid and shrill in in season 1 to me at least. -- nm - Remlik Feb 16, 09:28
She rubbed some people the wrong way. Others, she rubbed exactly the right way. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 16, 09:28 1
- (like Masuka, for example ...) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 16, 09:28
yes, Dexter's Sister. - JaxSean Feb 16, 09:28
