:nods along with everything you're saying: I was intrigued with the early episodes being about dealing with Dexter being discovered as the Bay Harbour Butcher, but everything seemed to get pretty weird once he was going to rehab and Lilah was his sponsor.

Heh I'm feeling a bit more enthusiastic about going on to watch more now actually if you also disliked season 2 but still liked the later seasons. I always got the impression that seasons 1-4 were just considered the shows peak (on ONTD at least people were arguing about whether season 4 or 2 were the best season overall...), so the fact that I was losing interest so early made me wonder if it was just going to be all downhill from there for me
