Season 1 has to be my favorite, the introduction into his dark world captivated me and I still randomly watch episodes from that season on netflix. Season 3 with Jimmy Smits almost ruined the franchise in my book but season 4 was amazing. Im not quite sure what to expect out of season 5 but I would love to work on that show!!

For me, it was a combination of seasons 1 and 2, probably because I saw the Dexter marathon right before they kicked off season 2.

I'm really liking what I see in the trailer for this season though. If the writing stays as sharp and pointed, the show will be draining (emotionally) and not stiff.

On a more humorous side note, if you haven't watched Julie Benz' appearance on The Soup, it's worth it.

Seasonwise I'll go with #2. Lila was amazing and the storytelling and the characters were so great. I loved how it all played out at the end.

Season #3 was the weakest but it did not ruin anything for me. Jimmy Smits' character actually was the part that saved it from slipping into boredom.

The trailer for season #5 looks pretty swell and there is a lot for Dexter to chew on. They finally set up a good purpose for the Quinn-Character who had not so much to do in the last two seasons.

And finally I would say that show will not jump the shark until Deb finds out the truth about Dexter unless they won't stall that revelation too much.

I'm totally excited about the new season... can't wait.
