to dexter or not to dexter

[Guest Yodahew]

I have just been given series 1-5 of dexter by my girlfriend and told i will love it. 2 episodes in and im bored stupid. I also had this with game of thrones. Do i stick with it? Does it get better? I now love GoT but there is something im not feeling about dexter.

Forget about that Dexter rubbish and get on Sons of Anarchy/Boardwalk Empire/True Blood/Breaking bad.

breaking bad is downloading as we speak. totally up to date on true blood. tried boardwalk empire but lost track. sons of anarchy looks interesting. need to finish GoT season 3 then walking dead season 4 to come. so so much tv to watch so little time.

Dexter gets much better. Stick with it.

 

Of course I haven't watched the last season yet so I could be wrong.

Dexter gets better, I'd say stick with it. But it is very much about Dexter , and if you can't empathize with the character, then bail on it.

Sons of Anarchy/Boardwalk Empire/True Blood/Breaking bad.

 

Add Mad Men and the Wire to that

Trying to empathize with a character that's not supposed to have any empathy is an interesting premise.

 

Plus you have Lila to look forward to in season 2 and Trinity in season 4.

Dexter has no empathy, but the viewer empathises with him.

Dexter Seasons 1-4 are amazing. Watch those at least for sure.

 

From then it depends on how much you like to self-harm in the form of TV watching. Although I actually liked Season 5 quite a bit too.

I think i will stick with it for the time being my problem at the moment is finding the time. just about to finish off season 3 of game of thrones (fell asleep halfway through the finale last night) plus playing GTA 5 at every opportunity and trying to move this month so clearing out a lot of stuff.

 

I think with dexter is I just dont like his face. Maybe he is playing the part very well but Im not sure. I kind of latch onto a character and watch for them. Tyrion in GoT for example. Eric and Pam in True Blood, Rick in Walking Dead (although I dont like his face either). I think I might just need to get back into longer series again. It might be the thought of a lot of episodes thats putting me off.

I stopped watching Sons of Anarchy after Season 4; it was just becoming a grind to watch the same issues played out again and again.

[Guest Jimmy Redman]

Having finally watched the end of Dexter Season 4 again, Holy Shitballs. I cannot recommend it enough. Watch Seasons 1-4 and you can pretend it ended there. But don't let the back nine of the show fool you, it used to be really good.

[Guest Yodahew]

I have taken a step back from dexter for the time being as iv started watching breaking bad and moving as well so not has time. I will def watch it as soon as im in my new place. Took 2 book cases for all my dvds and graphic novels. Also trying to aquire 1-19 of ultimate xmen at the mo. Just bought 1-20 of ultimate spiderman for £35! I love ebay.

To go along with this being the general 'Lets Decide Which Awesome Show To Watch First' thread, today in the shops I saw seasons of The Shield at absolute fire sale bargain prices. Yay Christmas. I'm sure there are people here who have watched/love that show, so tell me boys, to Shield or not to Shield?

[Guest Yodahew]

I havent seen it but heard good things. Thanks jimmy added another thing to my to watch list!
