3. Dexter Season 7
Although Dexter Season 6 wasn't half as bad as people would have you believe, Season 6 was one of the worst seasons of the show (along with season 3). During season 6, I was beginning to lose interest in the show and if I am completely honest was wishing for it to end. After the cliffhanger of season 6 however, when Deb found Dexter just after he stabbed Doomsday in the heart, my interest perked up once again. Season 7 has been surprisingly strong because it focused on the only real interesting thing Dexter has going for it anymore; the relationship between Deb and Dexter- the heart of the show. Season 6 messed things up a little with the incest storyline, but I have been pleased to see this element featured much less in this season (though they still for some reason won't let it die). That said, although I think this season is the strongest season since Season 2 (yes, I didn't really care for Season 4), I have to say I wasn't all that interested by the Big Bad, which is good then that they decided to kill him off early on. Season 7's cliffhanger is also the most shocked and excited I have been by a show since Walter poisoned that kid at the end of Breaking Bad's 4th Season. That said, I still think Deb deserved better and now there is almost no character left on Dexter left to root for. At least with Breaking Bad I still have Jesse. I am also not convinced that Deb would have reacted the way she did in the finale, but maybe Season 8 (which is hopefully the last season) can help change my mind.
