I’m currently on season three and I hear the show really does a deep dive sooner or later. When does it happen?

I'm in the minority and like whole series. Seasons 3,4 and 6 are still gonna be good. It's 5, 7 and 8 that people take the most issue with I think. Also, the ending is fricking awful. But, for me it's still worth watching all the way through.

5 is fine and actually provides a nice convenient stopping point if you have the desire and/or willpower to do such a thing. 6 is a notch down and borders on meh, 7 is bad, and 8 is insulting garbage.

1-4 are excellent and 4 is elite. 4 is one of the best single seasons of any show I've seen.

Stop after season 4. That is Dexter's high point. It's falls off a cliff in season 5 with the awful addition of Julia Stiles.

I enjoyed all the seasons but the final one. That was bad.

Season 4 is the peak.
Stop after 5 at the latest, but I always suggest after season 4 finale

I’m jealous that you’re about to see the Thanksgiving episode for the first time

It doesn’t really get bad until the last season. 4 was peak Dexter and some of the best tv I’ve ever seen. 5-7 were ok with each season getting progressively worse until your left with the bullshite last season.

Not sure when the jump to “bad” happens, but I felt it stopped being greatness after season 2. I thought the season with Lithgow was good though. Not sure if that was 4 or 5

S4 is the last season of Dexter the Serial Killer.

S5-S8 are four seasons of Dexter the Problematic Superhero, which is a very different and much less interesting show.

I'm in the minority that actually liked S7, especially if you're binging. The pace is frantic enough that you don't dwell too much on the dumber plot points or lack of a compelling villain.

The S7 finale actually set the show up for a GOAT final season, especially if they had only done 4-6 episodes. Then, and I can't stress this enough, they made the least interesting possible resolution to every conflict. It's probably the single worst time jump in television history, and one of the worst series finales ever.

Season 4 was the last really good season. As the series progresses Dexter goes from being so meticulous with every detail to doing crap in broad daylight by the end. Was the most disappointing turn in a series for me ever.

Probably when Dexter got cancer in real life and beat it and announced his divorce from deb in real life
