It's insane how the show went from one of the best things on TV to an absolute train wreck:/

I loved season 5 when Dexter does literally everything for this girl and then she just abruptly ditches him at the end

Hannah is amazing, Isaak is amazing. Season 8 was kinda lame with the ass pull villain being tied so closely to shit we didnt even know about in the show tho. Deb got done too dirty too

The ending felt really weak and out of nowhere; up until that it was pretty good.

Every season:

"I've never felt I could connect with someone before ice truck killa"

"I've never felt I could connect with someone before Lila"

"I've never felt I could connect with someone before Miguel"

"I've never felt I could connect with someone before trinity"

"I've never felt I could connect with someone before Julia stiles"

"I've never felt I could connect with someone before Yvonne strahovski"

I think it was a writer that left or was let go that was responsible for the solid first seasons.

Seasons 1, 2, and 4 are phenomenal but the rest arent bad, except the final season, that was just the dumbest shit ever. Bringing in Dexters mom? Really?

Main show runner left after season 4 and the following show runners thought of Dexter as some kind of superhero rather than the flawed anti-hero he was originally supposed to be

I actually haven't seen past season 5, but that was so disappointing. It wasn't a bad season overall until the ending of the season undid all of its progress.

The problem with Dexter was them trying to develop his character. He's a sociopath who kills people, he never needed to be more than that. I want more of Dexter tracking down and taking out other killers, and the homicide team solving the big serial killer of the season mystery, and less "Dexter tries to figure out emotion"

The writing was never good, but the cinematography and directing made it seem like there was more going on under the surface. And slowly we became aware that there wasn't, and then people started phoning in things in even more.

Yeah, the show honestly wasn't that good. S1 was good. S2 and S3 were okay. S4 was good due entirely to the Trinity Killer. Look back at S4 and see how much absolute no-one-gives-a-shit filler happens.

Should have stuck to the novels.

The novels' narrative structure is far worse than the TV show.

Well, that's wrapped up in what I meant. I try to make the distinction because I thought the author's writing of Dexter's voice/inner thoughts was actually really good.

Real answer. It's not some strange coincidence.

It also gives the revival/S9 some room for optimism given the fact Clyde Phillips is handling the entire story arch again.
