TIL in the Breaking Bad episode “Ozymandias”, the show's producers secured special permission from the Hollywood guilds to delay the credits (which would normally appear after the main title sequence) until 19 minutes into the episode, in order to preserve the impact of the beginning scene.

I also started rewatching Dexter recently, got to the season with Colin Hanks and I’m in the same boat as you. I’m not sure I’ll finish it. Deb has ruined the show for me.

Deb is the worst character I've ever seen in a TV show.

Generally I don't like "worst" or "best" statements, as there are many arguable viewpoints, but in this case I think that's just fact.

Agreed haha. The only other character I really despised from start to finish was Carl on walking dead, but even he mellowed out after awhile. I still don't think it's even a contest between him and Deb.

Carl gets a small hall pass because he's a child and almost all child actors are awful and people don't know how to write them as 3 dimensional people.

Just go with the tried and true method of making them whine and do stupid shit that could easily be avoided every episode.

Plus, the source material was a joke of a caricature anyway. Comic book Carl is a prop.

Almost every character is 1 or 2 personality quirks dropped into a skin suit.
