OMG love Dexter!!! Haven't started season 5 but the ending of season 4 OMG I'm still in shock!!

[Ms_Lilith]

Dexter is a dish! Love that show! Brilliant finish to season 4!

[hislordship]

Watching season 5 also - can't help thinking it's not going to end so well for Quin and private detective friend :-)

I really wanted to like Dexter, but when I started watching it, I just didn't really get in to it.

[HAL9000]

I think Dexter along with Walter White of Breaking Bad are natural progressions of the anti-hero characters portrayed in The Sopranos and The Wire. It makes for riveting if somewhat voyeuristic - if not vicarious - viewing.

But what next: a series in which the lead character is a serial rapist or a predatory paedophile - where to draw the line?

[espelli]

Watching season 5 as well - I love it! Does anyone know if there is a season 6 planned?

[mockney piers]

Weirdly, and maybe historically I agree with HAL.

It's good viewing (only watched series one) buts it's a wrongun innit.

I'm a fan of Breaking Bad - it doesn't seem to have attracted as much of a following as Dexter, though.

Walter White, the main protagonist, is played ? brilliantly, in my view ? by Malcolm In The Middle?s father: Bryan Cranston.

It's about a chemistry teacher diagnosed with cancer who decides to provide for his family by setting up a clandestine methamphetamine laboratory whereupon he soon becomes a large-scale drug dealer and eventually a ruthless killer.

[Ramble66]

Although I'm sure no one would, no season 5 spoilers please!

The plots are interesting with its twist and turns, but I think its just gratuitous violence.

They linger to long on the gory bits.

The way he wraps body bits up in parcels has turned me off my Amazon parcels

[espelli]

Wasn't the wrapped body parts the ice truck killer?!

Breaking Bad sounds good, I might need to watch that to fill in the time waiting for season 6 after 5 finishes.

Was a big fan of malcolm in the middle and i did see a trailer for this series ages ago..so is it played straight? or is there a hint of black comedy? I'll give this series a go on your recommendation.

Noooooooooo.....that was the Ice truck killer.Dexter wraps his body parts in black bin liners and then takes them to his boat called "slice of life" and then dumps them in the sea!.

I wish the people commenting on Dexter would a least get there facts right about the show before putting it down as bad television veiwing.;-)

Breaking Bad is played absolutely straight but with plenty of comedic irony and dark humour. The series is highly rated by critics and has won many awards. Visually, it has the look and feel of a movie rather than a made-for-TV series. Definitely worth watching, in my view.
