Dexter from season 1 until 4 or 5 was some of the best tv out there. It then went off the rails for me when Tom Hanks' son was the villain (I think season 6?) and religion was introduced in Dexter's life and the show. But they did rebound the next season in 2012 and it was actually solid. Then the last season was fucking trash. So much filler and situations that just happened and never were explained or expanded upon. Seemed just like a bunch of random scenes thrown together. The ending was junk as well. I have always wanted to go back and re-watch it all but really can't because of how bad it got at the end. I guess I could just stop after season 4 or 5 but it would not be complete.

This is truth. Dexter 1-4 were greatness. You could arguably throw in Season 5 with Lumen. I think Season 4 was so good, that it often gets seen as either the beginning of the badness or the buffer between. Season 6-9 were garbage.

Yep, I'm with everyone else on the thread. The series finale was some of the most ridiculous shit I've ever seen on TV. 

I'm trying to think of another show that went from amazing to shit so quickly and I'm drawing a blank. Maybe The Office.

The Office did slip after Steve Carrel left but it was not this level of bad. Sons Of Anarchy also got fucking goofy as it went on.

Finally watching this and holy shit does it jump the shark in season 6. At some point in season 7 I broke out laughing, saying how stupid it is.


Love Isaac though. Great character.

Ice Truck Killer (which I think was season 1) was so fucking good. So was the Trinity Killer. The good ol days of Dexter.

Every time i read the name "Dexter" to myself, I do it in Batista's accent.

Can't help it.

 

There was a smoking hot blonde that Dexter fell in love with in the final season. Only redeeming part.

This is one of those series I started like 4 years ago and slowly am making my way through.  I will binge a season or 2 then wait like 8 months to watch again.  It is even tougher now that I had to get through season 6 recently and am on season 7.  

I am just trying to push through to get it over, but man it is rough.

Early Weeds was really good, then just got stupid

The first two seasons of Dexter were great. The big bad for season 3 sucked, but the personal life part of the show was still good. Season 4 brought in a good villain, but killed off one of the best parts of the show. At least the show didn't go to shit as fast as the books.

Lol finally started the last season....the first episode when Deb has went off the deep end is so fucking laughable

Can't wait to see how horrible the rest of this season is

it is so bad that it implicates the entire series as a whole. it's the mass effect 3 of showtime television.

Seriously stop. Quit watching, find something else. The last episode and the season as a whole will taint the whole series for you. 

All that said.....

Season 5 and 6 were fine but slipping, I enjoyed 7 but I have a thing for the Australian chick from Chuck so I that might have been part of it. 

8 was a complete and total shit show. I still laugh at the IMDB rating for the series finale- 4.5 or something like that. (4.6 just looked it up)

Dexter is back to his blood-splattering ways after Showtime ordered a new limited series reboot of the long-running serial killer drama.

Michael C. Hall, who played Dexter in the series, which ran between 2006 and 2013, is back with showrunner Clyde Phillips.

The network has handed the series a ten-part run that is set to go into production in early 2021 with a tentative premiere date of fall 2021.

Or after the Trinity Killer killed Rita and Dexter killed him...he had a mental breakdown and just imagined the last several seasons?  So we can just pickup there?

I've been binging the last few weeks and am enjoying it so far. I'm through the first few episodes of season 4 (trinity killer) it definitely has some cheesey moments, but that's expected for shows like this. 

Season 4 was still my favorite of the series.

It only gets worse. Pretty much any scene with Deb in it during the last few seasons is LOL
