    What a terrible ending. A once great show just ruined. Lame.

    I'm almost through season 7...I guess it's good to know to set low expectations for the ending.

    IMO, season 8 as a whole was a bit down

    I watched the first two episodes of this season and that was enough. Read about the ending.. That's fucking ridiculous. So glad I didn't waste time watching this season.

    Imagine if I were a serial killer but I only killed people who deserved it.

    Gives his kid to another serial killer and hides out in Oregon. Very lame ending to a once great show.

    I remember how it turns out. Poindexter and Felix save the Professor from the Master Cylinder who is chasing them around on the Moon.

    easy to forget now this was a pretty good show S1-4. not sure what happened but it certainly digressed into a bunch of unintended comedy after that.

    The executive producer/writer/showrunner left after season 4.

    I just finished the series tonight. It was fine. A better pay-off than Lost, IMO. I never considered this show at the level of The Wire or Breaking Bad because it was such a ridiculous premise from Season One, anyhow. Breaking Bad does have a ridiculous premise, sure, but it is much more believable than Season One of Dexter. I saw it as a cartoonish show, and in that, I enjoyed it. So many times Dexter should have been caught in the previous seasons, yet he always got away, sometimes apparently with his vehicle still on-site. The entire Doakes frame was unbelievable, so from that point forward, I just enjoyed the sociology of the series, and not the realism of it.

    To me, this show was like watching a horror spoof, and thinking of it that way, I enjoyed it. You just have to pretend that nobody has alarm system in their houses, only one guy has surveillance cameras (Albert), and that Dexter can pick any lock in the world to roam around the homes of his victims/targets.

    I liked Season Six with Colin Hanks a lot, fwiw, yet that seems to be an unpopular season. The Lithgow season was the best, IMO. I also like Julia Stiles in anything, and she was great as Lumen.
