Dexter
saw the Breaking Bad thread, and thought i would start one about Dexter. Season starts this Sunday, anyone else watch it? I started watching it over the summer and got hooked. I finished all five seasons and it is phenomenal!

I missed the last half of the last season so I should go get caught up on that before next season starts. Never had heard of the show until a few years ago a roommate said how awesome it was. He bought seasons 1 and 2 on DVD. One episode I was hooked. Took me two days to watch both seasons.

Dexter is the best show I've ever seen. Ever.
It is very, very, very rare that a show gets better with every season.
Me & my wife started renting it from Netflix two years ago.
We ripped through seasons 1,2,3,4,5.
Each year is better than the previous.
The season 4 finale with Lithgow goes down, in my books, as the greatest TV season-series finale ever.
This is one of those "Everybody I know that has given this show a chance - loves it" shows.
i have to agree with you, it was so amazing wowOriginally Posted by Pengwin7
One show that I found this is true with is Supernatural. First season and a half were a bit shaky, but it has been amazing since.

I have to agree with this too, but at the same time that is probably my only criticism of the show. It peaked too soon. Everything to follow since that season (and in particular that final episode) just seems like a bit of a letdown now. Our expectations are far too high. I also think that the show creators realize this too and have been struggling with what to do with the show. I know that with the upcoming season they are really advertising it as Dexter returning to the way he was before, before the "love and relationship" stuff got in the way. Personally, I really liked the way he was struggling to continue his work while somehow trying to have a relationship, though I concede that trying to have him start up a new relationship after the whole Lithgow thing was probably a bad idea.

see I don't totally agree with that, I find that while the acting has improved each season and the plot has gotten increasingly twisted and compelling that the writing has gotten sloppier over time. In particular with how they continually have to come up with ways for Dexter to get himself into (and then out of) trouble. I find increasingly that they resort to cheap and unnecessary plot devices to advance the story and often have the characters doing things that their personality would never do.
Its definitely a great show and one of my favorites, I just get frustrated with the sloppy writing sometimes.
I've never gotten into Breaking Bad - I'm planning on it! But yes, Dexter is up there in my books along with Californication, Entourage, and Shameless (not to mention the historical epics: A Game of Thrones, and the Spartacus series).

i find dexter too cheesy and unbelievable. maybe the point of the show isn't to reflect reality, but it frustrated me and I let it go part way through the second season.

Dexter is probably my favorite show right now just slightly ahead of Breaking Bad. Both shows are two of the best on TV though.
Dexter is such an amazing show, I absolutely love it. I started watching in the summer and I wiped out all five seasons in just over a month. I cannot wait for Sunday!
Dexter is definitely up there for one of the best shows ever, and one of the best current shows. I think we can all agree that Dexter Morgan is one of the best television characters of all time. Michael C. Hall's brilliant acting and role is a big part of why Dexter is the best show right now.

I do think it has gotten a little lost in its self a bit. One thing I have missed for a very very long time on Dex....Doaks. That Mother F***er was Mother F***ing awesome! I died a little inside when he got blown up.
