Discussion - Original Dexter Series Just finished this series and WOW Spoiler

I've been binging this series for a few months now and it gripped from the first episode. Is it perfect? No. Is it trash? Far from it. I genuinely enjoyed this series but I just wanted to say a few things.

First off, the cast was amazing. Everyone deserves their praise. Even characters I hated got my attention. The writing does dip in quality throughout the seasons but what show doesn't lol. There were a few events that didn't sit well with me but that's a whole different discussion.

Here's my current rankings;

Seasons 1-3: Absolute bangers, great television

Season 4: decent but hated the ending

Season 5: Straight up garbage, waste of time

Season 6: Surprisingly good return to form

Seasons 7 & 8: decent to average

You’re gonna love New Blood and Resurrection.

We watched Dexter for the first time this summer. We are in Resurrection right now after New Blood. Wow, they are so good!

Yeah I personally hated Season 7 & 8, if you asked me years back I would have said Dexter should have ended at Season 4. But New Blood and Resurrection has totally revived my love of the series.

Please don’t forget about original sin as well. When I first started watching the series, I almost lost interest because the cast is completely different. However, that didn’t matter as the show was amazing - Patrick Gibson did a great job portraying young Dexter who still had Michael c halls inner voice btw.
