Set 10 years after Dexter Morgan went missing in the eye of Hurricane Laura, he is now living under an assumed name in Upstate New York, Iron Lake, far from his original home in Miami.
Yeah Dexter has actually killed an innocent before. At least a bystander, can't speak for the persons character. I forget the season now, but I think its when he's locked up Doakes in season 2 and he's in a gas station bathroom and he's frustrated and the guy basically pushes his buttons and he cracks him over the head if im remembering correctly, so he has let his emotions take over before
You are not remembering correctly, at all. Dexter was going to frame Doakes, his girlfriend the artist, killed Doakes, fire was her thing. The scene where he cracked the dude over the head in the bathroom was a killer he was stalking and was going to kill later, but he got emotional and killed him too early. Dexter, in my memory, never broke his code and killed an innocent. It was that innocents suffered for his actions was the point the show actually tried to make towards the end. Honestly... I think the powers that be had an influence on the writing of Dexter. My conspiracy theory is that certain... agencies weren't pleased with how popular a vigilante serial killer was becoming. Aaaand I may remember a few murders in the news at the time of season 2 Dexter coming out that were... inspired by the show. I think that's why the show took a tonal shift later on and it was more about the consequences and showing killers can't get away with it forever than showing Dexter do his thing. Idk. The season 2 Lundy arc was peak Dexter, it really was all downhill from there.
Seems to be the new norm now to give every season a different "subtitle" instead of calling it "season 2". Annoying.
First three episodes were decent, for sure better than the first season. "Harrison" is still an annoying little brat, and I can't stand the actor. At all. 0 talent imho.
Why not give us a crazy a$$ MF big apple Doakes or shady Joey Quinn as a nod to the original series? Or something.
And by the way, why does Dexter uses his real name in NYC even though he knows, Batista is onto him and that people will research his past?
Btw. loved to see Masuka and Joey again!

I didnt think it really got going until episode 4. After that it felt like the Dexter of old. I really enjoyed it, until the end of course.

One more thing that makes no sense - that one missing girl is found dead, you have a DNS match, a suspect manages to blame his father. You have 20 more missing girls in the same area and nobody imagines to search the properties of the suspect. Even after a shady underground bunker is found :D

First episodes were ok, then went to down hill fast, there was a slight hope that they will salvage it somehow, but nope, went full retard :D

Basically a 10 episodes long Durex ad
Ha. At 103, I didn't see the show going anywhere, so I didn't see any point continuing. I'm just going to assume that I'm right.

Such a shame they ended the show abruptly again, would love for them to drag out a few more seasons. I found the season as a whole entertaining, but the last episode was just awful to watch.

And what the hell did the writers consume when writing the Detective Claudette Wallace quirks? I mean, the first second it was clear they somehow were trying to merge Saga Norén (Broen) with Paul Smecker (Boondog Saints). And Kadia Saraf does it okay job for it. But, I mean... this is some lazy/poor character writing where probably they said "whoooohooo, that's some orginial Detective character, nobody as ever seen before." And I mean... DISCO???

His actions were completely out of character. None of it made any sense. Almost like he was having a 'dream'.
It appears to be a theme these days, to finish a series with the absolute worst ending possible.
Perhaps just so that people will talk about it.
Like they do with ridiculously annoying commercials.
Just another one that leaves a sour taste in the mouth.
