Season 8 is just one fat episode of how badly Dexter wants Argentina.

Best show on TV my ass, this has been one of the worst finale seasons I've ever seen. Its unbelievable how quickly and badly this show dropped. Wasn't intrigued by the first 3 episodes but forced myself to watch it considering its the last season, and its been an absolute shit show :facepalm:

That Harrisson scene was embrassing. Maybe Showtime threw all their budget at Homeland Laughing

WORST FINAL SEASON OF A SERIES EVER! PERIOD!

It's gotten a bit sloppy near the end lol.. Still interested to see what happens though

The problem with this final season has been that they have needed to write an ending to the whole thing. The "introduce one major adversary per season" formula was a winning one and you could write a lot of cool and suspenseful stuff in it. Now that they have to tie all the little stories together and come to a conclusion it's all gone bad and has a very forced feel to it.

They could have had a hurricane happen where the bodies Dexter threw into the sea get washed to see and then the bay habour butcher case gets reopened. Or somehow they chip in that Matthews knew Dexter was a serial killer all along. Idk, just something. Anything other than this stupid love story angle they took.

They took a terrible path for the finale and then they couldn't even make it at least decent. So many flaws in their script, directing, etc. Just awful all round.

If I remember right the bodies Dexter dumps in the ocean get carried away to the Atlantic with streams.

I would have probably introduced another adversary who, shockingly, in the final episode would have gotten the better of Dexter, killing him.

Or have Dexter get caught, but saying he's innocent. Sentenced to life in prison, but in a year's time the same sort of people begin disappearing that Dexter used to kill. Then a message: "You have not caught me, sincerely, Bay Harbor Butcher". The cops would be going "wtf, maybe Dexter is innocent after all". And it would be Debra who has picked up on where Dexter left it. Partly finding that side in her and partly wanting to make it look like Dexter is innocent. And the final moment of the final scene of final episode would be Dexter walking out of a courthouse a free man, together with Debra.

I just want to see the end now, won't be missing the Dexter from season 5-8.

by Amar Sun Sep 22, 2013 11:20 pm

The finale is tonight and I really think no one is going to be tuning in, with Breaking Bad pulling out a 75 minute episode, and the Emmy's also on.

Still sad to see a great show (seasons 1-5) end.

by Amar Mon Sep 23, 2013 1:22 pm

No fking words rofl

That was the worst finale I've ever seen in my life. I cant believe writers actually came up with that ending Laughing

by urbaNRoots Mon Sep 23, 2013 5:03 pm

What a *bleep* waste :facepalm:

by Art Morte Mon Sep 23, 2013 5:17 pm

Just finished watching the finale and although you can't help feeling certain kind of satisfaction and sadness at a great TV show coming to an end, no, the last season nor the final episode were good. Shortly put: the whole thing got too soft.

WTF how do u screw up the end of such a great show :facepalm:

by Blue Barrett Mon Sep 23, 2013 7:35 pm

Facepalming so hard...

This season was crap but finale was good.

by Blue Barrett Mon Sep 23, 2013 8:35 pm

No it wasn't.

This season and the finale tried to be a bit of everything:

Think the finale was true to the Dexter style of ending things. He started this show relatively alone and he ended more alone than ever. I think that's the right way to go.

People going apeshit over this are overreacting honestly.

It got a bit EMO.

To me, they haven't stayed true to the character. At the very least I expect Dexter to make rational decisions, and nothing that happened at the end was rational. It's a bit frustrating. I can't say I would have expected a happy ending, but in my opinion, they could have done a better job creating a situation where it is inevitable.

The idea that Dexter would be so irrational contradicts pretty much everything I've been led to believe lol.

by LeSwagg James Thu Sep 26, 2013 6:13 am

The ending was so random, poorly done IMO..

Showtime is bringing back 'Dexter'

https://edition.cnn.com/2020/10/14/entertainment/dexter-showtime-return/index.html

The network announced Wednesday it will produce a 10-episode limited series with Michael C. Hall reprising the role that won him a Golden Globe in 2010.

one last ride :bow:

by Art Morte Thu Oct 15, 2020 9:04 am

Dexter was kind of special, but went to shit, really shit, in the last couple of seasons. Here's hoping they've got a good idea for revisiting it.

So glad they're bringing it back. The ending to season 8 left a lot to be desired but it also left lots of breathing room to continue the series in a new location. This show is in my top5 for sure
