They both go downhill quick just as a warning.

Damn that's tragic. I was late to the tv scene so I just got done with breaking bad. Was hoping there'd be no drop in quality

Dexter is definitely better. This isn't unanimous but the majority opinion on the board is stop after season 4. I thought it was decent up through 6 and going all the way through 8 would have been more bearable except the ending they chose for the series didn't sit well with most people. But do watch through season 4 at least.

Conservatively, I think you have at least a good 7 seasons between the 2 shows.

Dexter 1-4 is some of the best television ever made.

5-7 is way over blown on here. They're really not bad. I liked EJO alot.

Don't let anyone spoil the phenomenal ending for you.

I'd be down for a Dexter rewatch thread

Dexter seasons 1-4
House of Cards seasons 1-2

If you can force yourself to stop there, you'll thank me. Anything you can imagine happens after that is better than what actually does happen

Definitely Dexter but I don't know why everyone is saying Seasons 1-4, Season 3 sucked arse.

I say Dexter and big deal if the ending sucked balls. You'll still watch it through the end once you get started

What? The Jimmy Smits season? I thought that was the best! My favorite!

Same. House of Cards is a better show but Dexter is far more entertaining especially for the first four seasons.

I watched the first few seasons of Dexter live-ish (cought up to season 3) and really liked it.

however, I was bored and hungover one day, knocked out a few on a marathon. Jesus that show didn't age well. The acting is so bad, characters besides dexter are awful and it is just crony as hell.

My personal opinion on if something was good or bad is far from a spoiler

It's a little cheesey, but Doakes remains one of my all time favorite characters. And the fridge four seasons I still rewatch all the time.

I have to disagree with you here.

Doakes
Lundy
Rita's Ex
Arthur Mitchell (John Lithgow)
Jimmy Smits
Brian
Laguerta's Boss whose name I can't remember


All solid characters

Laguerta, Batista and Deb (frick you Deb) are the worst though

Batista


He was such a whiney little bitch.

Laguerta


As much as I hated her character I thought the writers did a great job with it. An incompetent affirmative action hire with a misplaced sense of self importance.
