My ranking, in order of best to worst, would be- 4, 1, 2, 5, 3, 7, 6, and 8. I lost showtime (they raised Netflix lol) so I haven't seen New Blood yet. I plan on buying the dvd when I can.
Updated list after I've watched New Blood and thought for a bit: 1st Place: Season 1 Just perfect, I couldn't think of a single flaw here. The Ice Truck Killer is by far the greatest Dexter villain of all time (sorry Trinity). 2nd Place: Season 4 The only thing I dislike is Batista+LaGuerta, apart from that it's perfect. Trinity is by far the second best villain in all of Dexter, only behind the undisputed GOAT of all Dexter villains, the Ice Truck Killer. 3rd Place: Season 2 This would easily be first place if it was Season 8. This genuinely feels like it should be the finale of the entire series, Season 2 out of 8 is way too early. 4th Place: Season 7 I like how much higher the stakes are compared to the previous two seasons, the only thing I really dislike is Dexter wanting to kill LaGuerta, that just doesn't make sense and goes completely against what we've learned the past 6 seasons. 5th Place: Season 3 I liked it. Seeing how Dexter slowly finds out Miguel has been messing with him the whole time was very interesting. 6th Place: New Blood Mixed feelings. I like the new characters for the most part, and I like how they've aged up Harrison and that the stakes in the end are a lot higher, but I don't like Kurt Caldwell, I think he's a very one dimensional villain, and I think the ending came bit abrupt and it felt a bit forced and unnatural. 7th Place: Season 5 The worst season that I (barely) still consider worth watching. It's alright, I kinda like the story of this sort of manhunt, but it does feel kinda boring, plus like half of the season is just "Someone catches on to Dexter, oops what a coincidence now they're dead." Would've been a lot higher if Debra found out at the end where she was kinda sympathizing with them without knowing Dexter was the one behind it all. 8th Place: Season 6 The whole religion theme just doesn't fit Dexter. Also, Debra being romantically in love with Dexter? Ew 🤮! Who thought this was a good idea? The only good thing about Season 6 is (apart from perhaps the Brother Sam story) the ending, we were all waiting for that to finally happen. 9th Place: Season 8 I don't feel like I need to explain this one. Everything about this is one giant piece of shit, and anyone who says otherwise is objectively wrong!!!
