The first 4 seasons are pretty good but then plummets faster than slippy G .I have never seen this. Worth a watch?
Cheers. I'll sack it then. I have a lot of other things to watch.The first 4 seasons are pretty good but then plummets faster than slippy G .
It's fantastic, the first four seasons are brilliant. It's got a bad rep among some on here but without a doubt worth watching even if the standard does fall off in the later seasons.Cheers. I'll sack it then. I have a lot of other things to watch.
I always looked at the name and assumed it was about some shite comedian like Seinfeld.
Alright. I'll give it a go. If it's shite, I know where you live.It's fantastic, the first four seasons are brilliant. It's got a bad rep among some on here but without a doubt worth watching even if the standard does fall off in the later seasons.
Stop if after season 4. Until then, it is brilliant.Alright. I'll give it a go. If it's shite, I know where you live.
No I would definitely recommend you try it. The first four seasons are that good. You might like it so much that you will finish it or if you don't it's still worth it for the first four.Cheers. I'll sack it then. I have a lot of other things to watch.

I'll be waiting...naked in excitement.Alright. I'll give it a go. If it's shite, I know where you live.
I can't believe that's real. I'm so glad I didn't watch the final series.If you want to see what it basically turned into, watch this clip. Seriously. I laugh every time I watch it cos theres so much wrong with it.
I know it's old but Marukomu wants to see it possibly so probably a good idea spoiling thatI liked Dexter, it was brilliant TV for the first 4 or 5 seasons, but as has likely been mentioned on here numerous times...it ends up a parody of itself in the last couple of seasons....
I didn't like the way it ended either, leaving it open for another series down the line...they should've ended it with proper closure...
They should've never killed doakes off, he was quality...

can you do the same in your quote...I know it's old but Marukomu wants to see it possibly so probably a good idea spoiling that
It gets worse, directly after this scene Hannah (the woman) goes to the hospital with not even an attempt at a disguise (shes a wanted fugitive all over the TV)I can't believe that's real. I'm so glad I didn't watch the final series.
Agreed. He was great fun. And this guy was replaced by Quinn ffsI liked Dexter, it was brilliant TV for the first 4 or 5 seasons, but as has likely been mentioned on here numerous times...it ends up a parody of itself in the last couple of seasons....

In fairness, Debra told Dexter that if 'she ever got like that [referring to Camilla's state]' that she'd rather Dexter just kill her.Oh yeah I won't even get into how he walked in switched off his sisters life support and wheeled her out onto his boat like it was nothing
It's not the fact that he kills her. It's the fact that he kills her and takes her away without so much as anyone blinking. It was stupid. Also stupid was the moment where Dexter kills someone in jail with a camera and no one gives a feck about it. It was utterly bizarre.In fairness, Debra told Dexter that if 'she ever got like that [referring to Camilla's state]' that she'd rather Dexter just kill her.
And the reason he is able to do it is because it is nothing to him. The final episode is him realising that the entire life he convinced himself he could create is beyond him. He is a limited human. In the first episode of the very first series he says 'if I could have feelings at all, I'd have them for Deb.' Translating to: I don't have feelings for Deb.
I didn't like the final 2 seasons but that was mostly due to Hannah who offered nothing to the show from a story development point of view but I will say that I thought the ending was remarkably justifiable and consistent with the Dexter journey that had come in the previous 8 seasons.
Good pointcan you do the same in your quote...
She gets a cover id as a rich man's wife. So nobody has any proof of her name or id.thats why no one can do anything I thinkIt gets worse, directly after this scene Hannah (the woman) goes to the hospital with not even an attempt at a disguise (shes a wanted fugitive all over the TV)
I try to pretend I stopped watching at season 4...
Doesn't he say at the end, when he goes all lumberjack that he feels everything and wishes to feel nothing?In fairness, Debra told Dexter that if 'she ever got like that [referring to Camilla's state]' that she'd rather Dexter just kill her.

Same for me. First 3 episodes it was, after seeing the ending I never bothered.I watched about the first 4 episodes of the final season, stopped abruptly, and never went back to finish it. Probably should at some point, just to say I have.
Yeah I think I read some of what happens elsewhere (since I was watching it after the season had already finished) and lost any motivation I had after that.Doesn't he say at the end, when he goes all lumberjack that he feels everything and wishes to feel nothing?

If you are going to watch it, don't read any other post on this page as it basically says most of what happens in the end. Don't look anywhere while you're watching it and approach it with an open mind. Last four seasons weren't great but this thread probably didn't help as every single thing was criticised whereas if you watch it on your own you probably won't notice half the stuff that has been criticised.Alright. I'll give it a go. If it's shite, I know where you live.
I can't remember, exactly.. but he does say something to that extent in the final episode of the first season I believe. I don't think it's a huge deal and actually embraced that. Dexter doesn't know what he is.. he's supposed to be a complex character with loose endings. He doesn't fully understand himself. He's trying to live a life through someone else's moral compass and that tests him to the extent that he turns his back on everything.Doesn't he say at the end, when he goes all lumberjack that he feels everything and wishes to feel nothing
Thanks a lot. I just got the first 4 seasons.If you are going to watch it, don't read any other post on this page as it basically says most of what happens in the end.

She will be integral to the whole season. Not sure of her exact screentime as its been long since I watched it but she is quite important for the rest of the season.I'm in the middle of season 2 now after finally getting round to watching it a week or so ago having been meaning to for around a year now. I find it similar to Death Note, but not as good; even at it's best, which is brilliant, too.
What got me interested in the show was that I saw a few episodes on TV a year or so ago with John Lithgow in it and liked the look of the show. I only had it on in the background so I don't completely remember any spoilers from that season and decided to stop watching it from there and get on season 1.
Michael C. Hall is an amazing actor. I just had to say that.
Season one was brilliant. I loved the whole "Ice Truck Killer" storyline and was surprised it only lasted a season, but I'm also glad they didn't drag it out. I was disappointed that Rudy/Brian was killed off so soon after the revelation of him being Dexter's brother, though.
Season two though has been rubbish for the most part. It started off well with the bodies being found, but the whole love triangle with Lila and Rita has been dreadful. I'm really disappointed this show went down the route of a love triangle storyline as I find them incredibly boring, and it really didn't need it. And damn, that Lila - I cannot stand her in the slightest. She's one of those characters who just being on screen ruin the scene for me. She's one of my least favourite characters in a TV show ever. I like all the supporting characters on this show (bar Rita's mother) but she is just unbearable.
There have been good things as well of course. The progression of Dexter's and Doukes' rivalry has been fun to watch, finding out more about Dexter's mother and Harry's past, and the introduction of Special Agent Lundy. It's just that Lila absolutely sucks my enjoyment out of the show. If I hadn't seen a few episodes with John Lithgow I might have considered stopping by now having heard it only declines in quality later on anyway, but I'm going to continue with the hope it improves as I did enjoy the said Lithgow episodes.
Without spoiling how or when she leaves (if she does), can anyone tell me how much longer I have to put up with her? I'm on ep 8 of season 2.
Season 2 is the weakest of the first 5 seasons. Season 4 is by far the best of them all. Keep going until maybe the end of season 6 I'd say - though at that point you may as well watch the last 2 because you've come this farI'm in the middle of season 2 now after finally getting round to watching it a week or so ago having been meaning to for around a year now.

I most likely will, tbh. It's the same with most shows I've watched - If I start it, I'll finish it.Season 2 is the weakest of the first 5 seasons. Season 4 is by far the best of them all. Keep going until maybe the end of season 6 I'd say - though at that point you may as well watch the last 2 because you've come this far
