What about True Blood and Dexter?

Never watched "Dexter" (should binge it I suppose) but was an avid "True Blood" fan and it was so sad to watch the show devolve into absurdity. Now I don't know if it over stayed it's welcome or if the books it was based on went out the faerie dust window, too, but whatever was real and cool about the show was long gone by the last season.

You got to watch Dexter.

Dexter early seasons were amazing, esp 1-4. After, they sank in the toilet season after season.

The Dexter final episode was such a huge freaking let down. Thanks a lot for reminding me how pissed off I was. 😤😞

Yes, it was EXCEPT for the very final scene, ( NO SPOILERS) loved it!! It gave me hope.

The two main things I've heard a few things about this show are: A) it was spellbindingly terrific, but B) also went beyond its expiry date with a big fall-off of writing quality for last several seasons.

I concur regarding your second comment.

I was a fan of the show who watched from beginning to end. I agree 100% that the writing and the direction that they took Dexter in was so out of his moral compass that it left me feeling pissed and bewildered. The same should be said about the character that played his sister Debra. Simply stated...the writers fuched it up!

I still consider myself a fan. But a disgruntled one. 😞😞😞

Yep, the last few seasons, Dexter was TOTALLY OOC, ! and you know what I mean! Preposterous.

Ok, I'm in the UK. I'll check it out. :-)

Used to be on ITV2, but I don't think that they've picked up the current season (4). Seasons 1 to 3 are on Netflix. Although I'm still watching (we have a few "fluff" shows that we watch when we want something undemanding), I'd say the pilot is worth a watch and if you imagine a big budget cut and even more unlikely science thereafter you'll have a good idea of the course of the show.

"You" turn up in S3, still looking fine. Poor old Robert Patrick looks like he's wondering if he put his teeth in in this picture: http://fr.web.img3.acsta.net/r_1920_1080/pictures/17/02/14/12/03/052481.jpg

Sadly, Robert is not aging well. But , yes, he was HOT HOT in Terminator and when he was on the X Files.

"How I Met Your Mother" knew when to quit. Alas, not how to quit.

I can count how many episodes of that show I watched on one hand. I could never figure out what was so special about it. I found the humor to be so incredibly dry, coupled with equally dry storylines. I kid you not. After I finished watching those few episodes. I said to myself..."Wow, that's several hours of my life that I'll never get back". I just couldn't get into it.

I must admit though, that the few times that I did laugh, it was due to Neil Patrick Harris. He was great and his character was well played. That's the one positive for me.

Until I read it here, just now... I never even knew the show ended. Nevertheless, I can empathize with the fans who are sad about it. It's a bummer to lose a show that you love.

The finale was terribly unsatisfying. I only watched here and there, but wanted to see how they ended things.

May I also recommend another show for you to watch if you have time to fit it in. If not, I highly recommend you record the episodes to watch later. The Good Doctor

It's about a brilliant young surgical doctor who is autistic. It gives me similar vibes as This Is Us.

Meaningful storylines that broaden your thinking and compassion towards others. It's well acted, especially by the lead character Dr. Shaun Murphy played by Freddie Highmore and has a well diverse cast. I would also rank it as extremely original in terms of the show's concept. There's great chemistry between the characters in terms of meaningful relationships. Simply put...it makes me feel incredibly good after watching (experiencing) an episode.

Okay, that's it for me now. I DON'T want to overstay my welcome and begin to bore anyone. So in the spirit of the title of this thread...Nubyan out. Fade to black. 🎬🎥 😉😎

I enjoyed myself. Thank you all.

Speaking of Freddie Highmore, he and Vera Farmiga were amazing in "Bates Hotel". That knew when to end, fans were terribly upset that it did end , though. We wanted, more , more, more!!

Did anyone watch Fringe? That show was awesome!

I wish it didn't end. I would love to start watching again from the pilot.

Yeah I loved Fringe. It used to be on Netflix and you could binge it there. But they cycle shows on and off and that one is gone now.
