After eight emotional, death-filled seasons,Dexter will sign-off for good — but the question remains whether the series' titular character will do the same. Dexter final season scoop: Does Dexter have to die? Ever since the show's inception, viewers had wondered how long Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall) could get away with being a serial killer. But, over time, those same fans also began to root for the blood-spatter analyst. They'd hold their breath when Sgt. Doakes (Erik King) got close to discovering the truth and mourned the loss of Rita (Julie Benz) because Dexter had actually — and surprisingly, for a sociopath — come to care for her. In short, viewers changed their entire perception on this particular serial killer because he was our anti-hero. Dexter was able to become likable because he mostly played by the rules of Harry's Code — never get caught and never kill an innocent — meaning he'd only murder people who arguably deserved to be killed. That way, he'd soothe his Dark Passenger while also doing some good in the world. Certainly, viewers cheered him on as he finally killed Trinity (John Lithgow), Lila (Jaime Murray) and a number of other big bads over the years. The Showtime series actually got viewers to condone murder! Read more http://www.tvguide.com/News/Dexter-Final-Season-1067555.aspx
