I thought Dexter was best ended about midway through the first season. jesus, i got so tired of him explaining to himself how different he was. but perhaps its comforting to know that even serial killers can be tedious and dull. maybe that's the point.
i've never been a habitual of watcher of tv shows - that is until last year when I kind of went crazy with them.
I have watched: Lost (up to the last season...none of the new episodes), Six Feet Under, Sex and the City, The Sopranos.
...and all of these could have ended sooner without any gripe from me. I do believe it always gets to a point where the writers are having to try too hard...and by that time they should probably have stopped at least a season ago.
Currently I am watching Big Love (waiting on the third season to come out on dvd) and already I am sensing a 'tiredness' in the writing.
I have also watched the first season of Weeds, but that first season love is usually pretty palpable. What is to come remains to be seen.
I couldn't get through more than a few episodes of Rome, either...eh...just didn't get into it.
yeah, that's all.
