Dexter
Dexter is the show everyone has an opinion on—and not all of them are nice.
It belongs here because it’s one of the most recognizable crime series ever. A serial killer you root for? That hook alone beats half the field.
But Dexter vs almost anything turns into a debate about consistency. Early seasons? Elite. Later seasons? Let’s just say people argue about them… loudly.
Compare it to Mindhunter, and you get a different fight. Dexter is dramatic and pulpy. Mindhunter is slow and surgical. Depends what you want.
Still, don’t underestimate how many voters remember Dexter at its peak. Nostalgia is powerful.
The question is: are you voting for the full run… or just the highs?
