Dexter: Ranking Every Season From Worst To Best

By Liam Hoofe /

With Dexter season 8 having been a monumental disappointment so far perhaps now is a good time to take a look at the show's other seasons and remember exactly why we love the programme so much in the first place. Dexter has been one of the best shows on television for the last seven years, providing us with some of televisions most shocking and memorable moments. Season eight still has three episodes in which it can redeem itself. A few major plot twists and some huge surprises could make fans forget all about the rubbish we've had to endure so far, however I say this more in hope than expectation. Here's my ranking of each of Dexter's last seven seasons;

7. Season Five

Remember that really exciting episode in season five? Me neither. Following on from season four€™s explosive finale was always going to prove a difficult task but fans couldn€™t begin to imagine just how unimaginative it could be. Season five saw Dexter save a woman, Lumen, from a life time of torture. Having helped her get away from her captors Dexter decided to help Lumen catch and kill those who had wronged her. Cue the entrance of Jonny Lee Miller as Jordan Chase, the head of a gang of rapists and murderers. The whole thing was very uninspiring and a lot of people I know lost interest in the show during this season. The season€™s finale had a moment of excitement when Deb nearly caught Dexter and Lumen killing but other than that, the whole thing was just a bore.
