(no spoilers at all please)

I haven't bothered watching this season because I thought the last half of S4 and the entirety of S5 were both brutal, but is S6 good?

I remember being pleasantly surprised when I marathoned S7 of 24 after skipping it week-to-week due to S6 sucking butthole, but is this a similar situation?

Dexter is my favorite current TV show, so I'd say give it a watch. That said, it's easily the least excellent season so far in my book.

No the entire season was horrible and I think 5 was way better. Should watch the last episode due to plot advancement reasons I guess?

I came in here because I was wondering the same season.

But if it's worth than Season 5, I have no interest.

It's got plenty of good Vince Masuka though, who's gonna miss out on some classic Vince Masuka?

You should watch everything with Brother Sam in it. And the last few minutes of the last episode. And that's it.

I'm not current with season 6, but so far I'm enjoying it more than season 5. From what I've seen, I'm the only one.

season 5 wasn't that bad

4>1>3>5>>>>2>6

but there are parts of 6 that are worth it

plus, really, you're going to stop now that the show has finally settled on winding down?

I'll probably catch the first episode of 7 to see what's up but I doubt I'll be watching the show from here on out.

Ack, I wasn't even thinking.

Anyway, I liked the first four or five episodes of Season 6 a lot. After that, it sort of lost its way and went way downhill. It got too convoluted and misguided for its own good and abandoned a lot of what made the first episodes about the season good, in the first place.

3 is such a forgettable season btw. All I really remember happening is Jimmy Smits being awesome. Miguel/Dexter was great....but the rest was crap. The Skinner is the worst Dexter villian.

1>2>4>3>6>5 is pretty much the only acceptable ranking. The first three and last three can be shuffled around within themselves, but there is a discernible drop from 4 to 3.

Season 3 was my favorite. Miguel was just that good. Who cares about the Skinner? That's like saying season 1 sucked because some guy who ended up on Dexter's table was lame. Who cares?

Oh are we doing season rankings?

2 > 4 > 1 > 3 >>>>>5/6

I'd put 5/6 on the same level. They both have their good points but those are few.


As for 2, people often don't like it because of Lila. But they never mention DOAKES. Doakes/Dexter was one of the best things about the series. And I actually like Lila so season 2 just becomes the best season for me.

You'd have to hate Lilah A LOT to make her single-handedly drop that whole season down so much while also forgetting about stuff from the later seasons to make up for it.

the ending of season 2 was such a copout. if Dexter had actually made a choice, it might have been my favorite season. as is i'd still probably rank it second, but man, so disappointing.

Yeah, S2 has the DOAKES factor going for it, which is why I rank it so highly. Him and Trinity are easily the best two characters ever to be on the show.

I'm only on season 4 atm but season 2 was brought down a lot by its cop out ending. It was really good until then.

I plan on catching up but it was really a drag to even get through one episode a week. The first couple of episodes are really good and then it just gets worse

this sounds like good advice. i had heard about Homeland, but forgot all about it.

i'm sure i'll get to Dexter eventually (already have all the episodes), but it's just not a top priority right now.

You people are f***ing crazy if you put 5 ahead of 6. 5 has no competition for the worst season ever even though season 3 happened.

1 > 4 > 6 > 2 > 3 > 5 (generously not adding additional >s to show the degree of in equality between seasons)

didn't care for Lumen first of all. Fowler with the whole "ur don't know what ur dealing with" kinda built up a level of sinister villainy that just didn't do much... The season antagonist just did not live up to previous season antagonists in my opinion...
