| Topic | Best season of Dexter |

He would have quickly started feeling like Wile E. Coyote. HanOfTheNekos posted... I could have accepted a Doakes face-turn right before he finds out that Dexter is actually a killer. This is the way to do it. I think the progression in Season 1 and Season 2 was about right but the conclusion was wrong. There is a LOT of intrigue to be had where it's a battle of Doakes allowing Dexter to do his thing, vs Dexter maybe going too borderline for his tastes. You can have Doakes really know but not quite be in the position where he wants to act for whatever reason very easily-- him being morally grey is an easy sell if you write him even just a little different, but at the same time he's LESS morally grey than Dexter so neither guy is going to trust the other or have any sort of alliance. And Dexter knows or suspects he knows but can't just murder him for obvious reasons, but maybe kinda wants to-- just a lot of layers there and they weren't all really explored too well. I'm not saying you can keep it going for 8 seasons but until 3 or 4? Absolutely. And it's more compelling than what we get, for sure. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! ...
