Dexter vs. Boardwalk Empire Head-to-Head
Ladies and Gentlemen, there is about to be a battle for your television viewing soul. The fall premiers are lining up for your attention. There’s not a night or hour of the week where you will lack for something new and original to watch. Now, the fact remains that within months half of these shows will no longer exist (some with good reason, some because their networks didn’t promote them effectively). Within a few months, the nightly landscape will have settled, some shows really hitting their stride and some hitting the road.

However, the battle I want to invite you to is one of two veterans, a battle that has raged at the upper end of your channel lineup for years. These are tales not of good men, but of dark and sometimes evil men; characters who strive for control over others and themselves. These figures aim to craft the world in a new image, the one that only they can see. Let’s introduce the contestants.

In the red corner, entering its second season on HBO, a period drama about bad men, bad women, and the city they call home. Weighing in at Sundays at 9 p.m., last years breakout hit, Boardwalk Empire.

In the blue corner, entering its sixth season on Showtime, a dark drama/mystery series about a man’s quest to rid the world of people like himself. Weighing in at Sundays at 9 p.m., the multiple Emmy award winning Dexter.
