I just finished watching both after several years. I'm on the fence now but would have voted BB until recently. BB had a way better ending and Dexter had a crappy ending but both were outstanding.
My vote goes to Dexter by a smidge but probably because I just finished watching it but both were excellent.
I would also like to see what you would rate higher.

Breaking Bad but I did binge watch and enjoy both. I agree on the endings. Breaking Bad is probably one of my all time favorites and I also like the prequel show "Better Call Saul".

Dexter lost me the last season. Hard to beat Breaking Bad. Only series I loved more than breaking bad was Deadwood and the Wire

I thought Saul was better than Breaking Bad. Jessie’s constant whining dragged the show down for me.

Watched every bit of breaking bad and better call Saul. We loved Dexter and binged on it hard but fell out of interest in the last season and still dont know the ending.

Dexter would've been up there had it ended 4 seasons earlier.

I've just started watching Dexter. Breaking Bad was greatness but it did have a few episodes here and there that were just kinda slow.

How could you not like Jesse. That dude was hilarious. I didn't like what they turned him into. The wife was the one that I couldn't learn to like. She was like a speed bump for Walt and kinda drove the point home that Walt was a shithead in the end.

Better Call Saul is good. I'm ready for the next season. I want to know if his brother died in the house or if he left and is in a looney bin.

I liked both series, but had to give the nod to Breaking Bad. The last few seasons of Dexter were kind, for lack of a better term, bad. Every character he got involved with ended up being some kind of serial killer....It just got too far fetched for me.

I really like Better Call Saul, the huge time gaps between seasons has been a bit of a pain...But I really like the show.

Tried watching The Wire. I could not make out what they were saying. No point if you don't know what is going on.

I just started binging on BCS. It's really good. Better than I remember but I cant do the once a week gig.

That was a key point in the whole series, with the dad having a melt down and the eventual plane crash was a great depiction of a chain reaction and the effects.
