Both are badass amazing shows which of the two do you prefer? I prefer Breaking Bad but it is a hard decision.

It's hard to compare, the 2 are definitely my 2 favorite shows but they're both so different, shot very differently, edited differently, soundtrack choices are much different but at the end of the day Id have to say Dexter for the sole reason I find myself watching old episodes of dex more often than BB

weeds sucked after the 3/4th season...yes yes i know it 'recently' got better but you cant consider a show great it you have to qualify it like that- a block of a few bad seasons takes away a lot from a series

Breaking Bad, as a show, is way better. Past couple of seasons of Dexter were fucking horrid.

breaking bad can be so dull for so long before it gets good. dexter is pretty good but just not all that great imo for many reasons.

game of thrones has never been anything less than amazing through every second of every episode

Dexter. But they're both really good.

Weeds has completely sucked for a few seasons now, and was never as good as either.

Unless you were born in 1997 I think you're confusing Dexter and Dexter's Lab

Damn I'm a total tard, thought you were talking about Dexter's Laboratory.
But I prefer Breaking Bad simply because I haven't watched Dexter yet.

why did they have to kill him, i personally would be fine if they just said he survived the explosion and somehow they forgot about him being the supposed bay harbour butcher

best scene in all of dexter has to be the i own you scence with doakes

dexter in its prime was a great show, but you cant deny that its fading fast. the last two seasons kidna struggled. its gonna get the axe soon. breaking bad has yet to have a bad season. it is a planned out show, one  that the creators have decided to end before it got bad. it has the best characters on tv, ranging from small characters like saul that are always hilarious to the supporters like gus and mike that are unbelievable to the big names. jesse and walt are the best characters on tv, and skylar has even been putting on the performance of her lifetime- shes annoying but a great character- breaking bad is arguablyone of the best shows on tv, but dexter is well past its prime. breaking bad hasnt even gotten to the best of it yet -accept that heisenberg is the king

+1 for dexter


Breaking Bad is more like.. hmmm how much more of a bad ass will Mr. White become today? I guess the only thing I don't really like about Breaking Bad is that Mr. White has no real inner struggle. The more I watch the show, the more I dislike him. But maybe that's one of it's best points. With every episode I despise him more but begin to like the other characters. I guess the same thing kinda happened with weeds. I want to punch nancy in the face, but I can't not watch it.

walter white has so much inner struggle- he is losing his family and his life in the process.. heisenberg has taken over the character of walter white- the meth cooking has consumed his life and he let his family go- in the next 8 episodes it will all pan out about how hesisenberg has destroyed walter's life

That's because you don't have the slightest clue as to what's going on in the show. Basically your response would be on par with someone saying that Donnie Darko was a failed sci-fi drama with random and nonsensical events just to see how weird they could get the movie.

Go read reviews/synopses from acclaimed critics. That'll help you to understand a bit as to why Dexter can't touch Breaking Bad... unless you enjoy not thinking while watching shows.
