BobF_ Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 I didn't 'discover' Dexter until it was almost over. Watched the first four seasons on Netflix, then bought the box set because I didn't want to wait a couple of months for the last four seasons to hit Netflix. An awesome show right up there with BB and Vikings, IMO. Yes, some of the scenarios were a stretch ... but for me, it was pure fantasy!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krock Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 I've watched Dexter. Whilst I thought the first few seasons were really good, I found them to get a bit more stale and uninteresting towards the end. My favourite tv of the past few years is breaking bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saturn Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 I watched Dexter for one season I think and then lost track. I liked it a lot but just kind of got caught up in other things and forgot about it. Not to hi-jack the thread, and I know I joked in your other topic, but IMO "The Wire" was still the best show ever. At least the first 3 Seasons. I can't believe Idris Elba never won anything for his portrayal of Stringer Bell! The last 2 seasons were still very good, but I thought they started thinking they might get better ratings by getting a little too cute with the plots. I say "plots" because there was always multiple story lines all intertwining together. It showed a cause-and-effect connection type thing all the way from a hobo on the street to the City Hall. It was the first show I can think of that showed (without glorifying) the drug dealers as a product of where they grew up and with problems of their own, rather than the good-guy bad-guy aspect of most cop dramas. I would post a clip or two, but it would be full over language that might not be appropriate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
