Is there life after Dexter???

We're only on series 4 but not sure what could possibly compare to Dexter, Deb, Matsuka, Quinn et al.

Any ideas for a similarly excellent series?

We've enjoyed Breaking Bad, Peaky Blinders (Tommoyyyyyyy!), The Alienist.

Suits! I resisted watching it for so long, but I caved and I love it! Harvey Specter makes it soooo worthwhile Grin

BaconAndAvocado · 13/09/2018 17:16

Suits? Is that the one set in the 1950s with Elizabeth Moss (love her!) from the Handmaid's Tale?

No I think that may be Mad Men? I haven't watched it so I'm not sure but it's set in the 50s!

Suits is a programme about lawyers, if you have Netflix they have 8 seasons of goodness to watch Grin

If you like Dexter watch Safe - stars the same lead actor and set in UK. Only one series. Really recommend
And he's also in Six Feet Under which is pretty good - however there were too many series for me to fully commit to it!

bonfireheart · 13/09/2018 19:05

Oh and I only managed two seasons of Breaking Bad but am suprisingly enjoying Better Call Saul so much more.

PawneeParksDept · 13/09/2018 19:08

No spoilers but I do think 4 (if it's the John Lithgow series) is where it peaked and then fell off a cliff

Sorry. Thanks

PawneeParksDept · 13/09/2018 19:08

Oh suggestions

Dark
Ozark
The Sinner

BaconAndAvocado · 13/09/2018 19:18

Pawnee yes I have heard that Sad

Loved, loved, loved Six Feet Under. Not so keen on Safe.

Watched Dark , fabulous!!!

Thanks for recommendations, there's so much choice!!!

Oh while I think on you must watch Power really underknown and under talked about but I must have binged 5 seasons in 3 weeks BlushBlush

IWantMyHatBack · 13/09/2018 19:22

Sons of Anarchy!

TellerTuesday4EVA · 13/09/2018 19:24

Came to say sons of anarchy but someone's beat me to it.... by far the best series we've watched

RrreCansada · 13/09/2018 19:25

I love Matsuka, this is my favourite scene!

RrreCansada · 13/09/2018 19:29

And that Dexter and Debbie were once married in real life.

bonfireheart · 13/09/2018 20:15

Dexter and Debbie = boak.

buckeejit · 13/09/2018 20:17

The OA

5foot5 · 13/09/2018 23:23

Well although Pawnee is right in saying it peaked in series 4, IMO it is still very much worth watching the rest.

i still miss it.....

IWantMyHatBack · 13/09/2018 23:50

The end of season 4 is exquisite. I am jealous.

passwordfailure · 13/09/2018 23:53

So jell you haven't watched all of Dexter. Have you watched Mindhunter?

BaconAndAvocado · 14/09/2018 09:20

password a friend did recommend Mindhunter........it's a documentary right?

OP posts:
PawneeParksDept · 14/09/2018 11:13

No it's a dramatisation of true events

TammySwansonTwo · 14/09/2018 11:15

Mindhunter isn’t a documentary. and there’s a second series coming this year

I’d dig out a few other epic TV series - breaking bad, The Shield, The Wire, Mad Men, Six Feet Under, Sons of Anarchy

TammySwansonTwo · 14/09/2018 11:16

Teller have you seen The Shield? Lots of the same people involved as in SoA and much much better - best series ever, in my opinion

Iputthescrewinthetuna · 14/09/2018 11:16

Omg! Series 4! I spent half an hour speechless after watching that series!!! Series 5...not so good!

LongPinkBanana · 14/09/2018 11:16

Big shout out for Bates Motel.

First series is a bit meh, but it gets better and better and better. You'll be bereft when it's over, I promise.
