Dexter Season 1 was one of the highest quality pieces of television of the decade and my personal favourite season. It had less filler compared to later seasons, and so the fact that Adabisi managed to turn somewhere close to 11 hours of footage into 2hr 40min film is very impressive. Too much has been cut for a sequel fan edit though. I understood what was going on and thought the story was coherent, however someone who hasn't watched the TV show might struggle a little due to how high the pace is.

As a big fan of Dexter a little too much is cut for my liking. However in terms of functioning as a stand-alone film, this fanedit is a great way to revisit the 1st season of Dexter without having to spend 11 hours watching. Would recommend.

Dexter is, to me, one of the best series ever. I've been looking forward to this edit and for the most part, I wasn't disappointed. The video quality (I have the avi) is a little disappointing, but not something I'm not used to seeing. As for Rita and her kids, I've been hoping since day one that Dex would've knocked them all off and used the bodies for bait!

I think the editing was done well enough, although it jumped aound some during the first 1/2 hour. There were also a couple of scenes i felt should've been left in, that had i not been familiar with the show would have had me lost. First was the scene that was cut when Baptista went to Rudy's lab. With that scene cut out, it leaves the viewer with no clue as to the reason Angel was atacked in the garage. The other scene i missed was the scene in which LaGuerda was relieved of her post.

Other than that i really enjoyed watching and i would hope for season sequels, although those could prove difficult with Dexter & Ritas marriage and baby.
