mika-59975 I love it all. The characters, the stories and the dark humor. Dexter is a well done show that shows another part of the human nature and human needs. Definitely reccomented for people who enjoys more twisted kind of crime and drama. I can fully say that this show made me see another side in this very unknown and scary subject . The way it makes you identify with Dexter will surprise you as it surprised me even if you are a totally normal person or an easily scared person like me. I belive most of the show is great. I would remove one or two seasons, and it's definitely not for anyone. Yet if you started see it you might couldn't stop. To wrap it all up the acting is great and the side story lines (the one that doesn't conclude s Dexter) are great and not boring at all as they are in my opinion in most shows.

gfloros I put this on the same shelf with the other ones celebrating the human demise (iZombie, Santa Clarita diet etc). Those making the most sickening side of human behavior, appear as a social service. The five is by courtesy to the good script.

tomasajdari Season 1 makes it into my TOP 10 of all time and seasons 2-4 are not far behind it. I like the setting of the show ("Miami"/California). Dexter is interesting as well as the story in itself. Season 5 is a major backflip and the rest is just awful. 10/10 for the 1st half and 3.5/10 for the second

Dan Packer Dexter is one of those unique shows that grabs your attention from the second it starts and holds it all the way until the end. Michael C. Hall gives an incredible performance as Dexter, the serial killer that kills serial killers. Firstly, the fact that Hall is able to not only make Dexter such a likeable character, but also make us wish him well in his serial killer adventures, is a testament to his performance and to the talents of those who had a hand in the shows creation.Dexter is the story of a serial killer who dishes out his own form of justice with a set of rules (the code) and the council of his deceased adoptive father, Harry Morgan. In the beginning Dexter is quite detached and in his own head, but as the seasons progress the viewers are gifted with more that leads us to realise that their is more to this character than we first thought. He has a depth and feel about him that causes us to sympathise with him, even if we don't agree with everything he is doing. I will say though that the season finale in my opinion did not do the characters justice, nor did they reward the viewers dedication to the show. The way Dexter ended was nothing short of tragic for me, and seemed as though the writers just gave up on the characters, the show, and the story. The 8 season build up of Dexter, the character progression and story development all seemed as though they were heading to one place, but were disregarded and thrown away at the last minute. This was one of the first TV shows that I watched that introduced me to the concept that things don't always end well for the characters we love.The reason I give Dexter such a high rating is not due to the way it ended, but to the impact it had on my emotions during my time watching it. The way this emotional roller coaster of a show made me feel is why I respect it. I can empathise with the main characters ending decisions, but felt it was abrupt and rushed, unlike the seasons before it. However, this is just my opinion. If I was asked whether or not I would recommend this show to someone, I would definitely tell them that it's worth a watch.Overall, Dexter was an emotional roller coaster of a show and I am glad that I was able to go on that journey with the characters and fellow Dexter fans.
