What do you think? Do you still like the Dexter TV series? Do you think the show should end? Do you wish there would be a ninth season?
The final season (well the final 2 seasons) weren’t super good. No reason for Masuka’s daughter to even be introduced so late in the show. No reason for Elway and the marshal to have been trying to catch Hannah and Dexter if they didn’t proceed with that angle. Debra should’ve ended up getting her badge back to finally decide to be the one that arrests Dexter at the end. Dexter was really annoying in that final season. “In love” Dexter is as bad as “married Chandler” on Friends. And him ending up faking his death to become a lumberjack is… Read more »
I think the final closure was really bad… in all; it should have been Dexter who should have died and Debra Morgan should have reached an understanding with Hannah.
Harrison should have gone, as he did with Hannah. I think it ended the way it did cuz they might want to do a follow-up mini-series, movie…etc Was a real dumb move from my view.
I think the beginning story line for the final season is a great lead to a next season. Debra’s breakdown is change in character is a great way to revamp the series. They should continue doing a ninth season. I also think Quinn and Deb Ok how about the “basics” clean store, clean stockroom, hallway clear and clean, get someone in tonite to get those 100 percent pls be back together, he should be her savior.
