Sopranos vs Dexter - All things considered you must pick one

[tullamore]

I think it so hard to end a series, that the actors, directors, and viewers had invested so much time in, and have an ending that makes all satisfied. The thing I enjoyed about the Sopranos ending, is that it is up to you draw conclusions. Would one rather have seen Tony get shot, or interpret the ending that Tony got shot? Maybe they just ate their dinner and went on with their lives. One can draw so many conclusions, and probably back their case up with details from past episodse. The ending made you think, and thats something I enjoyed. Also people are still talking about the ending 3 years later, I see that as a successful ending.

Dexter was one of the few series I just never got into. Sopranos, now that was entertainment.

Don't have HBO but I think Sopranos was more believable than Dexter.

I agree. It's a very rare series that can end things smoothly and in a satisfying way. And this is yet another thing that The Wire did brilliantly.

Matty, did you watch Six Feet Under? How did you feel about the ending?

 

[stevek173]

How about the ending to the last season of Dex? Anyone else see it?

 

[Matty]

I did not MrX. But it was recommended to me several times and I'm sure I'll give it a try at some point.

That was wild. We should have a very pissed off Dexter this year and that makes me happy.

Given that I am not Matty Rain . . .

I loved Six Feet Under. In terms of great series, I put it right in the mix with The Sopranos below The Wire. But it is not fresh in my mind. I have been thinking lately that it is time to start re-viewing it.

The ending, was just whatever for me. Apt no doubt, but it didn't blow me away with the concept or the execution. Adequate.

I thought he was better off all things considered before he got serious with her, should be interesting I agree. So well done, so shocking.

[stevek173]

Oh man all I can say is enjoy. I am jealous of your "new to me" status with Dex.

Not a good thread. Sopranos vs. Dexter. COM-FOKKEN-MON.

CMON MATTY it wasn't that bad

 

[Matty]

Sop-fokken-ranos vs. fokken Dexter Stevie.

It's not even remotely close.

The first is a timeless classic that is filled with countless genius characters/actors. The second has/had a clever premise and an excellent lead actor.

Not even remotely close.

Dexter is king better Matty

It really is
