Review

overall a poorly written season to a series that was mostly pretty good. the final act of dexter – an act of selfless love, but also self-preservation was fitting and believable. the alternatives – suicide or capture – are mostly unbelievable. throughout the series his character was about survival at all costs and selflessness for a very select few. it also appeases the audience to some extent because most of us had to be against him as a father for his son. most of us probably needed dexter to be punished in some way and for him to stop ruining the lives of those around him. or, maybe, most of the audience wanted him to continue leveling the scales of justice. i guess it depends upon the person.

deb’s death was sad, but poorly written. this entire season had elements that may have been good in idea form, but lacked in execution. unfortunate. the series gets a B, but this season gets a C.
