Remember that one time, dumbass, when YOU called ME because you couldn't figure out how to do something simple? Remember that, child, next time you make fun of me. I have feelings, you know? Please, don't put my name in the same sentence as the one above. Ok? Thanks.
Breaking Bad should not be combined with anything. It is perfect as is.
Finally watched every episode...took a few months but glad I did, great show
Funny, I've come to associate Dexter with the tragically unhip.

Kenny F'ing Powers. That show is fantastic. If you like it you should watch Foot Fist Way, great Danny McBride movie with Jody Hill directing.
Sirkicky has a point with Dexter, dude is too robotic how he acts around people, makes you wonder how he got that blonde chick to like him.

This is one case, Kicky, where your particular taste doesn't match up with any kind of objective reality. I've watched Dexter since the beginning. I don't like it as much as the true top tier of television shows, like Breaking Bad, The Wire (which I know you don't care for), Mad Men, The Shield, Buffy the Vampire Slayer... But to say flat out, after having seen less than a handful of episodes, that it's "not good," (or that it's "tragically unhip") I have to really disagree with.
It's certainly good. Whether or not you like it, or it works for your specific sensibilities, is another matter. It would be perfectly fair for you to say you didn't care for it. It is perfectly fair to say it is flawed. It's not your style. But don't say it's not good. First of all, you don't know enough about it.
It's well-acted, sharply written, completely original.
It's not my favorite show either; the psychology doesn't make much sense, the formulas get boring, some of the subplots are drawn out for way too long... but it has had moments of greatness. It's certainly better than Entourage. My God. Entourage? Entourage has been almost-awful for a long time. Dexter has been consistently almost-excellent.
It's one of those shows that has plenty of flaws, but succeeds in other ways. It's not like it's Gossip Girl or Gilmore Girls or Supernatural or something. Dexter is, at the very least, a show that a person can say he likes with a straight face without feeling any shame at all.

ooh yeah and april is HOT
I work with a lite version of SirKickyAss and he mirrors most of your television recommendations (Mad Men, Breaking Bad, etc.) and I say most because he LOVES Dexter. I was ready to give up on the first season after the first 4 episodes and he told me to trudge on. He was right. He also said the series really gets good in the subsequent years because they do away with a lot of the peripheral **** that I thought bogged it all down. I'll probably start Season 2 in a couple of weeks. Next up is East Bound and Down, then I start Breaking Bad.
