  • I could watch Dexter over and over. Micheal Hall is an amazing actor

  • Compelling television with a single protagonist doesn't get much better than Dexter. While some seasons were clearly better than others, the true achievement of this series is the outstanding protagonist and brilliant casting of Michael C. Hall. It feels like Hall was born to play Dexter and he is one of those characters that I would gladly follow in any setting, which is why I'm so excited for the prequel series and sequel series Resurrection.


    A 4.5-star rating certainly has some bias considering that there are several notable issues with some of the late seasons, particularly the ending of the original series and then the complicated ending of 2021's New Blood. Still, Dexter is one of those franchises that is so engaging to me that I'm willing to overlook obvious retcons and plot holes to have more of Hall playing the role of his lifetime. Dexter will always be up there among my top series of all time and while it should have ended after 5-6 seasons, I'm more than happy to keep the Dexter train rolling.

  • Loved it every minute . I am a Dexter fan from the first hour and the original sin just nailed it. I am hungry for more , Gibson is just briljant and i think i have a crush on him. 😄

  • Dexter vastly outstays its welcome, but its initial season are electrifying and but a genuinely flesh slant on the police procedural. John Lithgow is an incredible villain, which is a sentence I never expected to write outside something like Shrek.

Dexter Review: An Addictive & Masterful Thriller Series That Flatlines In Its Later Seasons
8/10

The Dexter original series had the potential to be an all-time great series but fumbled in its latter half, which arguably should not have been made.
