December 22, 20187 yr Showtime 2 running a marathon. Damn S1 was good stuff. Addicting story and characters. Such a shame it denigrated into the shitfest it ended up as.
December 22, 20187 yr Over-explaining why he was who he was, trying ti make him a pseudo good guy, and increasingly stupid scenarios did it in. At least it stayed away from the book series plot where it was ancient aliens that made him a serial killer.
December 22, 20187 yr Dexter from season 1 until 4 or 5 was some of the best tv out there. It then went off the rails for me when Tom Hanks' son was the villain (I think season 6?) and religion was introduced in Dexter's life and the show. But they did rebound the next season in 2012 and it was actually solid. Then the last season was fucking trash. So much filler and situations that just happened and never were explained or expanded upon. Seemed just like a bunch of random scenes thrown together. The ending was junk as well. I have always wanted to go back and re-watch it all but really can't because of how bad it got at the end. I guess I could just stop after season 4 or 5 but it would not be complete.
July 31, 20205 yr Finally watching this and holy shit does it jump the shark in season 6. At some point in season 7 I broke out laughing, saying how stupid it is.Love Isaac though. Great character.
July 31, 20205 yr It had an opportunity to be one of the top tier shows, but pussying out when his sister was on the other side of the curtains collapsed the show.

Dexter 1-4 were greatness. You could arguably throw in Season 5 with Lumen. I think Season 4 was so good, that it often gets seen as either the beginning of the badness or the buffer between. Season 6-9 were garbage.
July 31, 20205 yr Yep, I'm with everyone else on the thread. The series finale was some of the most ridiculous shit I've ever seen on TV. I'm trying to think of another show that went from amazing to shit so quickly and I'm drawing a blank. Maybe The Office.

Sons Of Anarchy also got fucking goofy as it went on.

July 31, 20205 yr Every time i read the name "Dexter" to myself, I do it in Batista's accent. Can't help it. There was a smoking hot blonde that Dexter fell in love with in the final season. Only redeeming part. Edited July 31, 20205 yr by yoladu

August 3, 20205 yr Decided to re-watch Dexter and finished Season 1. Never can make up my mind if Debra is hot or butt ass ugly.
August 3, 20205 yr This is one of those series I started like 4 years ago and slowly am making my way through. I will binge a season or 2 then wait like 8 months to watch again. It is even tougher now that I had to get through season 6 recently and am on season 7. I am just trying to push through to get it over, but man it is rough.
August 19, 20205 yr Lol finally started the last season....the first episode when Deb has went off the deep end is so fucking laughable Can't wait to see how horrible the rest of this season is

August 19, 20205 yr The first two seasons of Dexter were great. The big bad for season 3 sucked, but the personal life part of the show was still good. Season 4 brought in a good villain, but killed off one of the best parts of the show. At least the show didn't go to shit as fast as the books.

Quit watching, find something else. The last episode and the season as a whole will taint the whole series for you. All that said..... Season 5 and 6 were fine but slipping, I enjoyed 7 but I have a thing for the Australian chick from Chuck so I that might have been part of it. 8 was a complete and total shit show. I still laugh at the IMDB rating for the series finale- 4.5 or something like that. (4.6 just looked it up)
October 14, 20205 yr Quote Dexter is back to his blood-splattering ways after Showtime ordered a new limited series reboot of the long-running serial killer drama. Michael C. Hall, who played Dexter in the series, which ran between 2006 and 2013, is back with showrunner Clyde Phillips. The network has handed the series a ten-part run that is set to go into production in early 2021 with a tentative premiere date of fall 2021. https://deadline.com/2020/10/dexter-showtime-reboot-limited-michael-c-hall-clyde-phillips-1234597514/

October 15, 20205 yr Or after the Trinity Killer killed Rita and Dexter killed him...he had a mental breakdown and just imagined the last several seasons? So we can just pickup there?
October 15, 20205 yr Jesus i thought i was about to finally finish this show lol. Midway through last season.

October 15, 20205 yr I don’t know this book but I can tell it inspired the first three hundred pages of pornhub.

October 16, 20205 yr They did that with her character, Darla, on Buffy/Angel. Might seem derivative. Edited October 16, 20205 yr by Apep

November 19, 20205 yr I've been binging the last few weeks and am enjoying it so far. I'm through the first few episodes of season 4 (trinity killer) it definitely has some cheesey moments, but that's expected for shows like this.

Pretty much any scene with Deb in it during the last few seasons is LOL
July 30, 20214 yr The writers room: "What if we took every good idea from Better Call Saul and made it a bad idea. And then made those bad ideas 10x worse ideas based on a stupid show that everyone gave up on with 3 seasons left"
October 31, 20214 yr The Forest Gump of serial killers is almost back. Everything seems to work out no matter how many stupid mistakes he makes.
