Dexter is a great series, Six feet under is a total masterpiece
Simply and perfectly stated ❤
You're right. Sad thing is that Dexter had the potwntial to be a masterpiece too. The premise on its own carried the show. But imo it were just season 1,2,4 & 6 that were good, so it unfortunetly turned out to be a hit & miss. The other seasons were just boring or badly written. SFU was from beginning until the very end exceptionally well written, the acting was on point and it never was as shallow as Dexter became.
I'm currently rewatching SFU and I almost forgot how good it was. Arguebly on par with The Sopranos, Breaking Bad & Better Call Saul.

Dexter is awesome but Six Feet Under will change your life. SFU is such a beautiful experience and you love the characters so much and the love between David and Keith is so sweet and heart warming.
No it didnt change my life i know anyway death is the only thing that you cant overcome
No this did NOT change my life this actually Scared me for the rest of my life thanks.🙏
Six feet under is a life changing experience
Watching in again - can’t shake David, Keith, Brenda or Ruth (all actually). SFU is Sopranos quality almost. Dexter is still entertaining after. The way that MCH portrayed an evolving homosexual man and the mannerisms. He nailed it. Just watched an interview with Alan Ball and he couldn’t decide if he should give Nate‘s part to David until Michael c hall in and he knew he found his David.
Dad died the morning after completing the show of a heart attack
I recently watched some old Six Feet Under episodes. I saw the one where David, MCH's character, gets kidnapped by a sociopath. All I could think was that if MCH were Dexter he would have laughed at this guy then totally fucked him up on a table.
That's what I kept thinking too
Season 4 of Dexter was the saddest thing I've seen on a TV show but the season finale of Six Feet Under was the saddest ending period.
@Munk they all fucking DIE THATS SAD
@@danielrmz40 great you spoiled it
Have you seen the finale to Dexter. That destroyed me 🥺🥺🥺
@@andrewjudeus6283 new blood ending: hold my FUCKIN BEER
@@niloofarslri4836 Ugh. Don’t even get me started. Hashtag Cancel Showtime.
he is so perfect and his voice is so comforting
It's so awesome seeing him play these two roles. The kind, sweet, ready-to-please David VS the dark and twisted Dexter. Two character who are complete opposites and he plays them both so well!!!
I could hear him talk for hours...
Six Feet Under is incomparably better. It's not even a contest.
At all!
But he’s gay there
@@Justin-tt9cz And what's your friggin' point ?
@@bluzmansb5683 that he’s gay
I saw both and I disagree. Six feet under is meh. I get it but it's nothing groundbreaking. Dexter takes more risks and is more interesting
Every episode of SFU was great. I didn't get bored once. Dexter overall was great but i skipped a few episodes toward the end. Michael was and is an amazing actor
Dexter subplots are so bad
God. His voice is so beautiful, I love it.
He is beautiful
Six. Feet. Under. Hands down!!!
Just started six feet under last week. Starting season 3 tonight. Love MCH! :) It's so weird to see him in such an opposite character to Dexter though. David is so uptight! He is great in this though I wish we could see him on broadway right now. The Realistic Joneses sounds great. He is very talented. Glad he became so successful. Well deserving of it!
When I see Mr. Hall, I see him as David Fisher, not so much as Dexter Morgan. Six Feet Under was that amazing to me, still is.
I loove Michael's voice, it's funny when he'll be thinking something in his deep dark voice, then he'll say something really high pitched or he'll laugh, it's so wierd but funny. It goes up about 3 octaves. Am going to go nuts waiting for series 6!!! 0.0
I enjoyed Dexter but after I finishing SFU I said "this is the best TV show I have ever seen" and I had never said that about any TV show before or after I watched SFU.
Jesus what a voice on that dude.
Dexter Season 4 is straight up some of the best Television ever made
Dexter was more entertaining that SFU. Judging by writing quality though, I'd have to say SFU was incomparably better. What it lacks in theatrics it more than makes up for in character development and creativity.
"Dexter's a bit more of a go getter!"
LOL
Six Feet Under: best show ever.
I would give that title to the wire, but six feet under is easily top three for me
David Fisher is hands down the better character. Dexter is the more compelling one. People will go for the flash in Dexter rather than the substance and significance of David Fisher.
Bottom line I love both shows, but Six Feet Under and David Fisher take the cake.
Michael C. Hall is an extraordinary actor, he's also got amazing vocal skills an all around talent
I love him so much in Six feet under❤
We will miss you Dexter Morgan 🥲
oooo....I love his voice
SFU under has been excellent, but I have to say Mr. Hall has been performing his masterpiece with Dexter. I'm counting down the days till season 6
A show like Dexter proves that great writing, fleshed out characters, and meaningful, unforgettable plot, makes for great television, which is what's sorely missing from NBC/ABC/CBS/Fox. Sure there are pretty good shows on network TV, but more and more great shows are getting their start on cable channels, and too often networks are offering up too many "reality shows" that are more about fluff than good, quality television.
I love Dexter, and love MCH. Great actor, very funny and the sexiest man alive.
NOTHING IS BETTER THAN SFU! And he was really great on it. So groundbreaking, with the gay multiracial relationship.
I love him like David Fisher In SFU
I watched Dexter before SFU and can say STU is infinitely better, and I still hold Dexter in high regard minus the endings. It's not even comparable, it's like comparing a Cathedral to a really nice conservatory.
Agreed and Dexter Morgan is my favorite fictional character ever, but the show isn’t close to SFU
Wow, very good point on the 12 episodes. Michael C. Hall is a brilliant actor.
Both were awesome!!
I remember starting watching Dexter’s first episode multiple times around 2007, but got bored and couldn’t finish the first episode several time. Because it was such a famous series back then I forced myself to watch it and fell so much in love with Dexter I have even a tattoo of the show. I remember starting SFU multiple times too just because Michael C. Hall was in it. The only thing I can say is, there will never be a show that is better then SFU! Both are great shows but god SFU was perfect from the pilot episode until the ending! I wish someone could erase my memories of the show so I could watch it again and again! ❤
I will miss both shows
Six feet under is by far... THE BEST TV SERIES EVER.
Dexter is a fucking awesome show I cannot wait till the next season. The cast in Dexter is fucking awesome!!! Easily the best series today.
Erik King is the MAN!
STU >>>>>> Dexter
FACTS
SFU*
I loved Dexter but there really is no comparison sfu is superior
Finally...! I hear MCH speaking..!
@theenigmajjames I gotta say that I love Breaking Bad and the Walking Dead, but I started watching those first. However, once I started watching Dexter..... forget about it. Dexter is by far THE BEST television show I have ever watched. I give credit to the other shows including SFU, but they just dont measure up
@arithestrangest Not just because David is Gay. David by nature is pretty much a pushover who tries to please everyone as best he can. He's just naturally sweet.
I've never seen Dexter... Am I missing out?
Natalie 82 yes
Oh yes a whole lot
Yes! Check it out if you haven’t by now.
@theclawof1989 thank you ....finally a comment I fully agree with ...whats wrong with these people that say that shows like Breaking Bad and The Walking Dead are better than Dexter? They must not have really watched the show if they say that.
@1919juggalo sorry but those shows could hold Dexters jock ....Michael C Hall is the best actor on Television with the best show on television ...sorry to burst your bubble
I fucking love him yep
Plot twist, Dexter is an actor playing Michael C Hall.
So sad the series ended without baptista having a talk with dexter. !!
I was sitting on the edge of my seat watching this thinking Doakes would attack him. ;)
@thyamelate same! dexter is such a great show
Love you michael c hall
he gets that question all the time!
Quoique tu fasses, t'y es merveilleux
sfu>>>>>>>>>>dexter
He's going to become a great actor.
JENNIFER CARPENTER IS ONE LUCKY GIRL!
@dgr4478 LOL me i was watching and i was like, its the exact same shirt he always wears to chop ppl up! :o
Six Feet Under is better
@krisp8888 sorry, you have to be a littel more specific than "that scene where he kills that guy". However, when you get to understand who Dexter really is, it all ties in really well. If you're still uncertain if you should give Dexter a chance, try reading the books first. It's Darkly Dreaming Dexter by Jeff Lindsay. The books are great, but I feel like the show takes it to a whole new level, both in character development and substance. I sure hope you give the show a chance
I agree with everything you wrote.
Having just rewatched both Six Feet Under and Dexter I found Dexter to be the superior show.
Nah. Dexter was a bit amatuerish.
You can't go past SFU.... QUALITY
I love both shows. They are quite different and great in their own way.
DEXTER is the fucking man
I don't recall expressing any true, genuine emotions. When I said I had "a man crush" on him and that I "loved" him I was joking. The part of my comment that I was serious about however was when I said that I identified with his point of view on the world and the sheep that live in it. You shouldn't take yourself so seriously, you might hurt yourself.
Ok I am a heterosexual man. I love women, I make love to women. But I am going to say this and I don't care what anyone's judgement of me is....I have such a huge man crush on Dexter, my friends and family are beginning to be concerned haha. I just identify with his point of view on the world & people so much that I feel we are connected in some unexplained way. There are words I hear Dexter speak that were my very own thoughts at one point or another. I love him, there I said it.
You have the dark passenger in you!
@thyamelate
I will give it a chance...at least the first three episodes of Season One.....
Sorry I was not more specific. I was referring to the first death of the series, in the pilot. I found it very disturbing....but have heard it said that the first killing was abnormally "Creepy" for the show......
@LivesoninHeadPhones Dexter is meant to be more realistic. And think about the themes that can come from a murderer who tracks down other murderers in a city that appears so bright and lively. It has a lot to do with façades and stereotypes.
@thyamelate I use to be all about The Sopranos.once I started watching Dexter, everything else seemed second best. I have never seen better plots or better writing. I agree. It is the absolute best show on television. I have this site I use, and I downloaded every episode of Dexter for free. I first watched it after the 4th season ended. I watched all four seasons in like a week. Then of course the fifth. The sixth is shaping up to be the best yet. Have you kept up with the news on S6?
Dear God, his voice is scary.
@ChianaKyoshiro sorry, but what is a 'go getter'? :S
Wearing the same Dexter killer outfit...i guess early on someone got murdered :XD
So hot
naturally he has the character
funny how michael saves her joke at the end there lol
It was still a pretty bad joke. Besides being incredibly low hanging fruit, the awkward implication that Michael might actually kill people in real life as a hobby is almost insulting.... I cringed.
@@mikeisapro yeah, stupid question...
@vinnybastos Actually, his voice is kinda low key and almost monotone.
Davexter C. Fishgan
@krisp8888 LOL np. Yes it was a little more creepy than most, but it was taken straight from the book. I won't lie though Dexter has some disturbing scenes, but when you think about it so did Six Feet Under :}
hes having trouble explaining cause hes thinkg bout his next kill to much
@Rosvolainen Just to clarify, I DO know that they are just actors. lol
@ChianaKyoshiro Lol, well, David was the one that 'went and got' I guess. XD
I would too..
@thyamelate I have been considering checking Dexter out since Season Four. Was a huge SFU fan, but that scene in Dexter, where he kills that guy, was so disturbing....really turned me off. Is it worth checking? Is there more to it than meets the eye? How many scenes like that are there?
lol ,"why so serious?"
The Dark Defender is Gotham's Go Getter lol
The light and warmth of Miami does not quite seem to fit to me. . .the only negative is the city for me. Dark City (the movie) fits the lighting. . Bat man fits the lighting. . .why not Dexter. New York is boat ready or ever Baltimore , both of wihch are dark, dark crime cites (lots of murderers to have fun w) and both are near the gulf stream of the dark dreams in all of our heads lol
Ah, poor Michael's got a cold.
dexters a bit more of a go get her.
Marry me!
More on the supply side, lol.
I don't see it.
Dexter does'nt care for emotional triggers, nor do I
that chick has the sweetest feet ever.
Josh Fredr I'll never understand foot fetishes..especially as a person disgusted by feet lol
@@sossnoss It's an odd thing to sexualize for sure, but that's the nature of fetishes.
Can Jennifer please close her mouth...always opens it while sitting
you know he doesn't exist though, do you? ^^
I got immersed immediately in Dexter
