Dexter

Watched season 1 and whilst it was half decent I just got really sick of the stereotypes. The jumped up black guy, the geeky Asian guy, the Hispanic guy who wears his heart on his sleeve etc..... It all got very annoying.

Love Misuka. Such a perv.
 
Probably my favorite TV show. Season 5 took a while to get going though.

Whilst The Wire (seen all), The Sopranos (up to season 4) and The West Wing (up to season 5) are all superior productions I find myself enjoying Dexter more than any of those. Same goes for Breaking Bad.
 
I agree with Gustov.

I really enjoy Dexter, Misuka btw is a bloody brilliant character :D

I think there are "better" shows made, The West Wing for the first few seasons is very simply put the best show ever made :), The Sopranos gives it a good run for it's money, but I've only ever seen the first one and a half of the seasons.

I'll be ordering The Wire very soon.

This is all of course my opinion, Boardwalk Empire is what I'm currently watching and I'm really enjoying it.
 
im on 4 right now, so far:

season 1 good
season 2 amazing
season 3 good

Season 4 seems great so far, then got 5 to start after that :)
 
Season 5 was a disappointment to me. The writing was so poor. I guess that's why SHO got rid of the Showrunner and appointed a new one.
 
holy crap just finished season 4, was not expecting that at the end at all, this is the best thing i've seen on TV and i've seen every episode of the wire/sopranos/breaking bad etc too.

Will start 5 soon, but a bit worried as its got bad reviews :( But then again i loved 3 and a lot of people didnt like that.

Season 5 was great, bit sloppy in places but overall...it's typical Dex :D

I'd give Season 1 an 'Amazing', otherwise, makes sense. Season 3 was, odd.

I second this! Except scrap Season 3's odd for crap.

I was honestly so bored watching through that season... I had to force myself to finish it (I'm a completionist!)

By far Season 1 is my favorite though. Season 4 and 5 tied for second.
 
Problem with season 5 was that it introduced a new element to the story, it wasn't just Dexter trying to stop the serial killer and in the process learning some new lesson about life.

Though I still think that Quinn has to go..
 
My girlfriend and I went through all 5 series in a row over the space of a few weeks.

Absolutely love it.

I also think series 1 and 4 were the best with series 5 a close second place.

I think in series 2 and 3 Dexter got sloppy which seems very out of character for an OCD serial killer. For me, that was enough to put them at the bottom of the pile. Still worth watching, just not as good as the other series.
 
I recently borrowed the first 3 seasons on DVD from a friend (in return for my Stargate Seasons) and I love the show. Interesting premise and very well executed. Making a character like that compelling, and sympathetic is no mean feat.
