Yuli: Dexter Seasons Ranked

Yuli 02.11.13	But the writing has become much worse. Dexter says so many unnecessary, silly things, and Deb's speech is so predictable. Hannah was actually my favorite part of season 7, and it's only partially because of her looks.
Crymsonblaze 02.11.13	4, 7, 1, 5, 6, 2, 3 for me
PayneTiger777 02.11.13	Hmmm, mine would be 4,1,2,7,6,3,5 ....I hated Lumen with a passion and I thought season 3 was forgettable.
SgtPepper 02.11.13	"Hannah was actually my favorite part of season 7, and it's only partially because of her looks." ^This, but I still have a thing for Batista's sister. Though, in all seriousness, has disappointed me a lot after season 4. They're mandatory villains get less interesting and their plots and themes feel more half-assed every year. Season 7 started off great, but after Issak died, I felt like everything went downhill. Still a entertaining, but I had to force myself to finish it really. This is just my opinion, of course though.
Anthracks 02.11.13	4 and 1 were the only good ones. All the others are total crap
Yuli 02.11.13	3 wasn't exactly necessary, but it was such a treat to me. I loved the idea of Dex having a best friend, haha. Yeah, Isaak was another great thing about 7. They should have kept him around, instead of having him die from George (another bad character, meh)
Yuli 02.11.13	And why exactly was Quinn's storyline in 7 so pointless?
JackSoffalot 02.11.13	Quinn is always pointless. I love every season except for 5 and 6.
PayneTiger777 02.11.13	Doakes is one of the best characters to appear on the show. I also enjoyed miss "pardon my tits."
Yuli 02.11.13	Yeah, Doakes was awesome, man. I loved that 7's final episode was called "Bam, Motherfucker!"
SgtPepper 02.11.13	@Omaha Yeah, he was really interesting. And the plot twist when you found out he was gay and was avenging his boyfriend- that's when I felt like he is the best Dexter villain since Brian and Trinity, and the reason for that is because it made Issak look more like an anti-hero searching for justice. "I loved the idea of Dex having a best friend, haha." I feel the opposite actually. I like Dexter best when he's alone and embracers his sociopathic/anti-social personality. I think it makes him appear more sinister and believable as a serial killer. I find that when other people get involved in that aspect of his life it just feels awkward- but it makes for good plot opportunities as well.
Yuli 02.11.13	Interesting you feel that way. I liked his relationship with Miguel because he was still relatively closed about it. Now that he's close with Deb, he says a ton of really silly stuff to her - their dialogues are honestly really puzzling. Because he's more talkative as a person, I guess, but that's what makes me uncomfortable, because it feels so forced.
PayneTiger777 02.11.13	I don't know about anyone else, but I felt like in season 7 the writers tried to make the audience go against Dexter. Even though he kills bad people, he is still a serial killer. Having him go against his code by trying to kill Laguerta and not killing Hannah made it seem like he was the bad guy. I wouldn't be surprised if they end the show with Deb killing him.
Anthracks 02.11.13	The Doakes storyline executed in Season 2 happened way too soon. You could tell they didn't really know where they wanted to develop things, so they took the easy way out. That should've built over several more seasons, instead it was a rushed, sloppy mess.
Anthracks 02.11.13	The whole "villain every season" format really only worked for seasons 1 and 4
VheissuCrisis 02.11.13	4, 1, 2, 7, 5, 3, 6. Great album list too.
X12Celtics3 02.11.13	1, 4, 2, 3, 7, 5, 6 Seasons 1 and 4 are amazing, 2 and 3 are really good, 7 was iffy but closer to good than bad, 5 was iffy with more bad than good, and 6 is incredibly unimpressive.
lyzakthellama 02.11.13	season 1 is best
chaseguitar 02.11.13	2, 1, 7, 4 are the best ones for me, in that order. the rest were pretty good but not as memorable. I loved season 2 and thought it was executed really well
nicowyp 02.11.13	In my opinion: 4,1,7,2,5,3,6
SgtPepper 02.11.13	@omaha Yeah, I understand what you mean, I liked that element as well, but I much prefer to see Dexter alone and questioning social conventions and being awkward around others, I don't know why but I find it both amusing and engaging. @payne Yeah, I caught that too. This season felt like it was the first time that the writers wanted us to judge dexter's behavior rather than accept it. I liked the fact that it traumatized deb and it made her show him how his behavior is more destructive than heroic.
Ecnalzen 02.11.13	I am in the middle of 4 right now. John Lithgow has been pretty excellent so far. 2 is my least favorite out of what I have seen, mostly because of Lila.
MrGlass 02.11.13	2, 4, 1, 7, 6, 5. Season 6 wasn't impressive at all but 5 just felt like too many rehashed ideas. And 7 could've been one of the best, but I agree that it went totally downhill after Isaak died. And Deb's involvement started to get old. Pretty excited to see how they finish up the series, though. There might still be a good ballsy season left in those writers. Fingers crossed
Gyromania 02.11.13	1 = 4 > 3 > 2 > don't care after that. season 5 was 12 hours of filler pretty much, and i haven't seen anything beyond that.
MrGlass 02.11.13	...and I would rank 3 right after 7 haha
ExcentrifugalForz 02.11.13	4 and 2 were the best. 6 and 7 are at the bottom. Can't beat the tension when Trinity walks into Dexter's office for the first time. At least Deb has become a better character as the show has progressed.
Aids 02.11.13	omg you are so fucking wrong omg omg I am pissed dude omg I am mad Lumen is the best guest star the show has had by a fucking mile. I don't even like Julia whatsherface but she fucking kills it in that season. Seriously what the hell man I might have to get a drop of your blood and put it on a slide to go with the rest of my collection (I hide it behind the AC unit shhhhhh don't tell anyone). and season 6 is sweet omg what is wrong with this world? 5 1 4 6 3 2 I still haven't seen the newest one. you people are making me mad. seasons 5 and 6 rule come on now imma cut you all omg im pissed.
demigod! 02.11.13	i rented the first season of this show, thought it wasn't very good
EaglesBecomeVultures 02.11.13	season 5 was absolutely fucking appalling and is some of the worst television ever
bach 02.11.13	3 or 1 might be my favorites. The one with Lumen is the worst.
ILJ 02.11.13	I haven't finished the 7 season yet. Have like three episodes that I haven't watched. Should I? Is it worth three hours of my life?
Aids 02.11.13	"season 5 was absolutely fucking appalling and is some of the worst television ever" what the fuck? do we have TV hipsters now too? alright this thread is bogus I am going to serial kill all of you. nah jk but seriously you guys suck, PEACE
elephantREVOLUTION 02.11.13	i would switch 2 with 4 and 5 with 7
Yuli 02.11.13	Aids, YOU MUST B SMOKIIIN ROCKS Really though, I never knew anyone liked Lumen at all. I don't mind her, but Dexter falling for her character felt so out of place to me. I did like how they compared her to Rita in some ways, though.
Yuli 02.11.13	"I haven't finished the 7 season yet. Have like three episodes that I haven't watched. Should I? Is it worth three hours of my life?" Yeah man, do it. I mean, it has its flaws but as a whole I enjoyed it.
Buzzkillr 02.11.13	2>1>shit>rest of the show
EaglesBecomeVultures 02.12.13	Aids loves Lumenn Seriously that whole season was so wack
Aids 02.12.13	idk I'm a sucker for that whole role, the whole abused woman seeking justice thing, might have something to do with my past relationships. but, weird layers of psychoanalysis aside, the portrayal of the character by Styles is just brilliant. I really don't like her as an actress most of the time, but I thought she was really, really good. I liked the writers bringing in that sort of character too, because Dexter needed humanizing, and I think they were flirting with developing him into a character that was too cold, too monstrous, too alien to able to empathize with, but they fixed all that in season 5 by adding another dimension to his character. I mean I don't really discuss this show with anyone other than my parents, so I guess I'm out of touch with how the general public feels about season X vs. season Y, but 5 > the rest for me, easily. just torrented season 7, I'm so excited to plow through them all in a day while not showering once omg
Aids 02.12.13	like, Miguel was cool, and he helped develop a little bit of what I was talking about ^^ there, but I think that introducing a love interest with whom Dexter could finally be himself around was genius. Well, ok not genius, but they needed to do it sooner or later cause Rita was starting to be a real drag (til she died lol) and Dexter still had no one to express his feeeeeeeels to.
VinVal 02.12.13	dude 3 and 4 were by far the worst. season 1 & 2 were the only ones worth watching
elephantREVOLUTION 02.12.13	4 is just as good as 1 and 2
Pebster49 02.17.13	season 6 was very good, I don't know the why so many dislike it. Season 4,6,7,1,2,5,3 3 Miguel ruined it, and 5 Luman wasn't very good character either.
Calc 02.17.13	Get out of my luhboratory!!!
Drummerboy123 05.10.13	2,4,1,7,3,6,5. 5 sucked soooooooooo much. Villains sucked. And Lumen was a rebound relationship for Dexter. Who then disappeared. At least Hannah is back in season 8.
Yuli 05.10.13	I find it interesting that so many people prefer 6 to 5.
SonofSnow 05.10.13	4,1,2,7,5,3,6.
Insurrection 05.10.13	2 1 4 7 3 6 5 imo
ViralOblivion 05.10.13	1,4,3,7,2,5,6
Thane 05.10.13	agreed with ranking though i'd switch 7 and 5 maybe
ViralOblivion 05.10.13	Omaha I don't get that because 6 was so much worse than 5
ViralOblivion 05.10.13	When the writers admit they dropped the ball with season 6 you know it's bad "Hey let's drag out a very obvious twist that's been done before over and over and make us wait 9 more episodes to find out BRILLIANT"
silentstar 05.10.13	4, 1, 7, and the rest doesn't matter the show has a lot of potential but it gets bogged down by the endless and unnecessary drama. also, the ending of season seven is so messy that I can't even begin to think of how the show will be granted closure
DominionMM1 05.10.13	ive never watched this show. Is it worth my time?
silentstar 05.10.13	"ive never watched this show. Is it worth my time?" the better question would be to ask yourself whether you like drama. the answer lies within
DominionMM1 05.10.13	you'll have to be more specific when you say drama
silentstar 05.10.13	i love you, i hate you, let's have sex, let's breakup, let's die, let me love this other, let me hate this other person. BLOOD
ViralOblivion 05.10.13	Idk to me it's not that dramatic it's more fun to me like a comic book with some darker tones almost
JokineAugustus 05.10.13	4 was so damn boring. 1 and 7 all the way.
ViralOblivion 05.10.13	Only thing that bothered me with season 4 (Spoilers ahead) was the death of Rita it was just too obvious I knew from the first episode they would do that with Rita because it was the only way the show would move forward and they fucked up after that until season 7
Yuli 05.10.13	There are just a lot of really uninteresting characters in the show. Deb, Laguerta, Batista, QUINN, etc etc. They've had such a lack of character development lately that I've gotten very frustrated. Even Dexter has learned very little over the last few years, despite the awful things that have happened to him. It seems the show favors dramatic flairs over realistic things-- and yeah yeah, I know it's a show that isn't meant to be realistic, but things are so blown out of proportion in Dexter that it's hard to take seriously.
ViralOblivion 05.10.13	Deb has gotten better over the years and she doesn't exaggerate her fucks so much when she says it besides the whole I love my brother angle which is pretty much gone now but Quinn had such potential and they drop the ball on his storylines just when they get interesting
Yuli 05.10.13	Interesting, I'd argue Deb's gotten worse over time. Her cursing has seemed worse to me for quite some time now, because it's used in such silly ways. I guess it's that she's been exactly the same in that regard for the whole show, and now it just feels like she's mocking herself when she says "holy shit fuckstorm!," etc etc. Yeah, Quinn always has potential. And then the cycle restarts... It really bothered me that they just dropped the whole Nadia storyline. That action rendered the whole storyline as useless, especially since Quinn went through the same exact thing in season 4!!
ViralOblivion 05.10.13	Yeah I agree with you about deb Nvm what I said I'm wrong lol Quinn is a cool character but yea they just never bring his story full circle and they never do anything to his Character
