That should be "an".
Is it wrong to root for a guy who gleefully murders and cuts up people into body bads at the end of every episode, even if it is his own "code" and they are "bad people"?
Is Dexter and immorally wrong tv show?
This topic is locked from further discussion.
"No but I have heard some people who are politically correct aka boring say that they want the show off the air. I disagree, I think its one of the best shows on TV and Michael C. Hall is brilliant as Dexter."Your avatar just made me think about how there is much worse (yet more hilarious) content on television. Why are people singling out Dexter?
The only thing people have against Dexter is the fact he is a murderer who gets away with it, it shows the police to be incompitant and it also has some pretty graphic scenes. All of this combined make people hate it. That being said Dexter is a kickass TV show, we need more like it.
"never watched it. Does it have boobs???"Yes, occasionally.
Dexter is an awesome show. I own both seasons on DVD. Dexter dishes out punishment old school style. Eye for an eye. Seems fair to me, especially since his victims are mostly, if not all, serial killers. I think the shows is getting even better over time and hopefully it will bring in more viewers.

Dexters lab ftw
"FilmGuy said:Yeah always sunny in philadelphia can be pretty out there, then again thats what I love about the show. I am so tired of dull PC sitcoms and seeing always sunny and how rude and offensive it is made me smile and think about how many people it must offend and how glad I am that they are offended. It might sound mean, but the more offensive and non PC humor there is, the better. As long as it is clever and well done."No but I have heard some people who are politically correct aka boring say that they want the show off the air.

This show makes him out to be a good guy too much. Even in the second season when they try alittle harder to make him look bad, he's still the guy you are rooting for.
He's an anti-hero. Even though he does bad things, he's still a likable person with a backstory that stirs sentimentality.
Well as long as the people watching act like adults and realize it's only fiction (I imagine it has at least a teen rating). Entertainment, for the most part shouldn't be used to teach morals and ethics or assumed to be. There's always going to be that part of the population who will assume if a show is on that has people murdering, then there will be more murders in real life.
You posing that question is pretty much the purpose of the show itself. It is supposed to make us question who we root for and how we judge a person's own moral code.

"Immorally wrong translates as morally right."I dont understand. Car translates as bike, coke translates as Pepsi, left translates as right.
?
I like the blond lady who plays his girl-freind, she is very hot I think. However, she is unaware he is killing and cutting up people to fulfill his psychopathic need.
"Immorally wrong translates as morally right."MB:
>Immorally wrong is a double negative
Not necessarily. First, immorally as an adverb describes wrong. It's not quite a double negative like "he didn't not go to the store," where didn't and not both describe go and could be thought as He did not (not go) ..., cancelling each other out.
If you take immorally as "not moral" or "lacking morals" he could be saying this about immorally wrong: "it is wrong because it doesn't have any morals". But if you take it as immorally = not morally, wrong = not right, making it "not morally not right," and do a straight algebraic sort of thing, it does become morally right.
While saying "morally wrong" one could mean "it has morals, but the wrong ones." You'd have to ask what was exactly meant, I guess
I've seen some episodes, but it seems like it tries to hard to be innovative and it just comes out as a borefest
@GiantKitty
Instead of making your point using confusing sentences, you could've said that when "immorally" is taken as an adjective (which OP did [I think]), "immorally wrong" doesn't translate as "morally right" as I said. It means it's wrong in an immoral way. So you are right; you just made your point a little hard to understand. ^_^
However, I took "immorally" as an adverb; that is why I said "immorally wrong" translates as "morally right".
