Had decided to wait for the whole of Season 5 to play out and then watch it all in one go but finally cracked a few days ago and have caught up and will watch the rest real time.
Amazing the quality this series has managed to maintain and I'm glad this will be the last series. Been watching the latest Dexter and it's just disappeared up its own ass to use an americanism - from pretty great TV to car-crash terrible, only watching now to see how contrived and silly it can get.
Breaking Bad just never disappoints - can think of maybe one ep which seemed a bit tedious but even that was OK. Loving it and watched yesterday's ep in my new Heisenberg t shirt.
When Dexter had John Lithgow in it season 4 it hit it's absolute peak. At that point, I was torn between which was better; Dexter or BB. The last season of Dexter has been such a monstrosity and generally just utter shite, like you, I am watching it just to get it over with and to see how stupid it's going to get.
For Dexter, I am around 80% positive that I know what the twist in this series will be, possibly just as obvious as the twist in season 6. With BB, I couldn't even hazard a guess where it is going. The writers are far too smart to let viewers work anything out until it's all over.
