Default Showtime Original Series

I just finished watching Dexter today and thought it was excellent. HBO quality work IMO. It was the first Showtime series I'd seen, so I'm wondering if any of their other shows are worth checking out, like The Brotherhood, Weeds, or Sleeper Cell?

Weeds is pretty watchable. Also I was a big fan of Dead Like Me which is now cancelled, but is sometimes available on demand.

The Tudors is on Showtime right?

It started out great, but has tailed off some...but, still somewhat enjoyable...

But anyway, I really enjoy Dexter as well. No one seems to watch it either!

I enjoy Dexter (begins in 30 minutes here in HD) as well as Weeds and Sleeper Cell. The first season of Sleeper Cell was better than season two.

I was very impressed with Dexter, but am nervous about the direction they will go with it now that the first season is over. (If you watched the first season you would know what I am talking about.)

I also enjoyed the first few seasons of Weeds but haven't kept up with it lately.

I watch Weeds and was a fan of Dead Like Me as well. I was pissed when they canceled DLM. My girlfriend watches Dexter and seems to love it, I'll have to check it out.

Dexter is a really good show. They're going to stray away from the books for Season 2 so I'm also worried about the direction they may go with it.

The Tudors is good entertainment, although it's terrible for historical accuracy. Catherine of Aragon was not that much older than Henry, Henry's illegitamate son died in his upper teens and not when he was little as depicted. The timeline is way off, but it's still an interesting watch to see Wolsey's and Anne Boelyn's downfall.

Quit season 2 after 5 episodes. Miserable.
