Done with the 3rd season of Dexter as well. I actually found this season to be very good. Loved the Dexter and Miguel Prado fiasco and all the episodes. Heard Season 4 is even better ! Will watch that soon.

^^ Season 4 starts slow, but the season finale is one of the best episodes made on TV.

 

BTW, finished watching full season one of Modern Family. Damn hilarious show. I think one of the best sitcoms around today.

Better than Sheldon. Cooper?

If you are referring to BBT, sorry pal, I'm not into that show at all. I watched a couple of episodes and never got back to it. Not the kind of humor I like.

aren't all protagonists?

 

you should watch game of thrones and you'd change your tune ;)

 

seriously though, you're right of course. the thing is, it works in a procedural show, but not so much in a serial show like dexter. they end every episode with a fake cliffhanger in which they show dexter about to get caught or leaving behind some evidence or making some other mistake but it's not really a cliffhanger because you already know he's going to get away with it. no matter what happens in an episode, he can't get caught, he's invincible so any time there is a plot line that puts in him in danger, you already know the outcome. it was okay in the first couple of years but after 5-6 seasons they're just stringing the viewers along. besides, it's supposed to be 'dexter', a show about a calculating, emotionless, vigilante serial killer, not 'dexter and friends' where they explore family drama and the love lives of peripheral characters and all those unrelated and stupid stories. i mean for example the romance, marriage and ultimate divorce of batista and la'guerta... did anyone ever give a f**k about that? every single frame of that entire relationship was wasted and should have been on some soap, not a thriller like this.

 

dexter is still fun to watch but it no longer holds claim to being the best tv around. not by a long shot.

Yeah, but the excitement is in watching how he gets out of such situations.

This I agree, even I hate all those filler stuff with debra or laguerta. Which is one of the main reasons why I liked season 5 more. It has got relatively lot lesser filler content compared to the previous seasons. Also, the story is taking a turn now (since season 5), with Dexter wanting to change himself, explore his other side, get rid of his dark passenger. I think the further episodes will focus more on his transformation to being a normal person just like everyone else.

 

Overall, I would still rate Dexter as one of the best shows on TV. I enjoyed all the seasons to date. Very few shows are this consistent.
