    Do you still watch "Dexter", perchance?

    The last two seasons have seen a return to form.

    Somewhat.

    I do, I'am up to date but I wish the current story line with Deb hadn't happened was a huge mistake and was un-necessary.

    Dexter is yet another one of the shows I haven't gotten around to watching. I like the idea of it, but again, there's so many episodes to catch up on. Worth watching from the start?

    The first 4-5 seasons are great, really tense and rewarding but after that it just becomes a show that needed to be cancelled 2 seasons ago. But it is worth watching I would heartily recommend the earlier seasons. Its a show that you will watch a season in 2 days and be craving more.

    Really? I thought seeing Deb on the edge was refreshing and honest.

    And yes, definitely watch it from the start. The first two seasons are extremely well-written and sharp. The third fails to raise the bar. The fourth was not my personal favourite, though John Lithgow's performance was interesting. The fifth season was a return to form for the series. The sixth... was not.

    The seventh turned out to be a one of the better seasons of the show.

    I hated what they did with Deb. Its directionless now though if you ask me seemingly no over-arching story line or villain which is a shame, I was hoping that there would be a villain to rival the Trinity Killer.

    I guess I just like watching a woman in trouble. Comes with being a David Lynch fan, haha. :)

    I think Dex's new friend is being set up as the big bad this season. Oh, and then there's the return of a certain blonde gardening fanatic too...

    Never got into David Lynch. That new friend of Dexter is not much of a villain but I hear there is a spin off that could be it.

    Breaking Bad, the final series is on Netflix the day after US broadcast, starting next week.

    Maybe Boardwalk Empire. I love Steve Buscemi, I've only seen the intro to the first episode. I want those shoes.

    Haha, touché. I've still got the first season of "Breaking Bad" gathering dust on my iPod. I could never get into Boardwalk Empire, I don't know why. Ooh, have you seen "Top of the Lake"? They're calling it the new TP.

    And a Dexter spin-off? Why?!

    Breaking Bad is brilliant, right from the opening scene, I was hooked straightaway. Give it a shot. It's all on Netflix anyway.

    Hugh Laurie before "House". Hard to imagine there was ever a time!

    I find it harder to believe he became a star in the US, I think of him more in Blackadder :)

    Ooh, maybe I'll start a thread at a more agreeable hour...

    "What's your favourite line from Dexter?"

    I bet Deb will be the lead by a mile.
