Dexter is now streaming on Netflix US, and it looks like fans are already gearing up for a rewatch – though they have some pretty passionate opinions on which episodes are worth tuning back into.

In the replies, most people seemed delighted, as they shared their advice on how best to enjoy the serial killer show. Others, however, joked about how they hadn’t realized it’d been removed from the online catalog in the first place.

“Note to audience: skip season 8. Can also stop after season 4. Literal worst ending of any series, including Game of Thrones but has some fantastic seasons,“said someone, asanother echoed: “Really solid four seasons of television right there.”

“1-4 remain goated, that’s not to say the others don’t have really strong stuff too, among some…..shit,“tweeted one more.

“Nice! Love this show. Happy it is on Netflix now. Time for another binge watch,“tweeted a fourth, asa fifth said: “Such a great show! I know what I’ll be rewatching. If you haven’t watched the show yet I would recommend it 100%. The character development and story is fantastic. Easily a top 5-10 show of all time.”

Starring Michael C. Hall in the titular role, Dexter follows Dexter Morgan, a skilled, Miami-based blood splatter expert, who was orphaned as a toddler when his mother was slaughtered by an axe-wielding madman. By night, then, Dexter “works” as a vigilante serial killer, hunting down murderers who have evaded punishment due to corruption and technicalities in the US justice system. Throughout the series, though, his morals grew murkier, as his penchant for violence took over.
