Nailing my colours to the mast early here.

Dexter - Seasons 1-4 were brilliant.

Personally I think Westworld is rubbish also.

Dexter - Michael C. Hall was excellent in the role and the first season in particular was brilliant.

Dexter.

the good seasons outweigh the bad - Westworld is still running so can't tell how that will end up (1 great, 1 decent season (albeit does contain the best single episoe of the show) so far)

Westworld, mainly for pushing the envelope on TV making. Watched the two season over a few weeks recently and my slow brain probably didn't do it justice.

Watched a couple of seasons of dexter but got a bit bored.

so

WESTWORLD

Dexter - I was a massive fan of the books which is normally a recipe for disliking a film or TV adaptation but this lived up to my hopes

Westworld. While my skybox didn't get the last 3 episodes or so of S2 so I have no idea what happens (but I have a couple of ideas) if you look past the unnecessary boobage it has some great ideas. I loved 1-3, maybe 4, but the mistreatment of characters at the end of Dexter ruined the series. Oh, Deb....

Dexter, the first few seasons were great but I did lose interest after a while. But the first few were so good it gets my vote. I mean I'm still terrified of John Lithgow! Even when he was on GBBO!!!

Tough choice but have to go with Dexter because of John Lithgow.

Dexter, seasons 1-4 were great. One of the first series to make you root for the bad guy

South Park for me. Always amazes me how 'current' the episodes are as opposed to other shows.

South Park - it has been iconic and ripped the piss appropriately when required.

South Park because it has a go at EVERYONE and stays relevant with its quick turnaround of episodes. It's been going since the 90's and has evolved so much. Really funny sh*t.
