There are so many great series of 2006 to consider:

1. Battlestar Galactica 2003
2. 24
3. House
4. The Closer
5. Jacob & Joshua: Nemesis Rising
6. Noah's Arc
7. Dexter
   

There is one series I'd love to add to the list but while it is new to me in 2006, it is in repeats. Fullmetal Alchemist is an outstanding TV series and one well worth 30 minutes four times a week. I highly recommend it to you and give it my Honorable Mention of 2006 Award.

My number one series pick of 2006 is .... drum roll, please .... Dexter!

Why?

Dexter, finally, gives us an exciting and successful criminal drama series!!

Michael C. Hall does an outstanding job portraying Dexter, as he brings to life a
criminal sociopath in this episode. His performances should earn him an Emmy
nomination, if not the best Actor Emmy.

The writers and producers succeeded where others (Heist and Smith) failed in their pilot to draw the viewers into the show. They deserve a well earned congratulation for this accomplishment.

This all being said, one needs to remember murder for any reason is wrong. The show doesn't glorify Dexter's act, but explores the background, actions, and thoughts of Dexter and those around him. Neither this episode nor the series is
for children of any age or adults having mental issues with hurting others. For the rest of the adult world, though, Dexter takes us on an intelligential, out of the box, and (I hate to say it) fun ride.

What is your best series of 2006 pick?
