I have to disagree. I binged watched the show this year and clearly noticed "the change" as the seasons progressed. So that could be a factor as I didnt have a break in between to forget past plots. Id say: 1-4: is the best 5 - 6: ok 7: took a break from watching at the middle (when he met hanna) Then continued on. 8: I could tolerate the first couple of episodes & then I slowly got angry. I still finished it because I wanted to watch the revival series. I think I watched a recap of some of season 7 & 8 episodes because I couldnt bear watching dexter slowly dig his grave by making multiple stupid decisions.

And if that person is also a serial killer....well. Psychologist here. Honestly, the stupid mistakes were on the part of his "therapist". His own mistakes were more like dominoes, the volatiles reactions of an unstabled and damaged mind trying to heal. Further made worse, of course, by the events that happened, like losing sources of that healing. Also, I was referring to his "therapist" in season 8.

@@Sohbek but he only had a therapist for one season (where he was so stressed & tense he couldnt sleep with Rita. Then learn to let it go). How could that extend to the rest of the series where he was essentially making rash decisions by himself (without a therapist following up on him). What personally annoyed me is that he *repeated the same mistakes* over and over again *without learning from it* until it ruined him. I can understand him longing to have someone understand him & repeatedly getting hurt as a result, but how many times does he have to get hurt to understand that he shouldn't underestimate his enemy / people he tries to kill ? Specially after they know who you are/ where you live. Wasnt trinity enough for him to learn to never to delay a kill regardless ? *Thats what irritated me the most in the final half season 8 because he actually did that.* We could say his increased mistakes & disregard to the past were due to him healing and becomming more human + *optimistic* (he didnt even want to kill anymore at the end of season 8 & was hopeful for a better life), but it still managed to annoy me how unaware he was of this. It was painful to watch someone lose everything because of the *same horrible mistake.* it was hard to watch.

I can't begin to tell you how grateful I am for this recap. Smart, to the point, fun, well narrated, great edit! Exactly what I needed!! There's so much content out there and Dexter went under my radar (as well as plenty of other shows). I accept I'll never catch up on them all and need to pick and choose. I certainly don't have time for 'bad seasons' or bloated side plots which I suspected of Dexter. I watched this video carefully, paused it, rewound stuff, took breaks, and was suprisingly entertained, shocked, even moved despite the recap format. Please keep up this great work!

This was so awesome! Many thanks, friend. I had forgotten so much. Now I can officially start the new season!

This was so helpful, funny, and well paced, thank you!

My side story that led me to appreciate Dexter: I spent from 11 years old to 40 years old in what many people consider to be a religious cult. It was a very restrictive life, so much so, that, often, in order to have a normal existence, a lot of people chose to live what the religion called a 'double-life'. That is, putting on a public persona of being an obedient member, faithful, dedicated, and a person who followed the endless rules that were there to prevent us from being so-called 'sinners', while secretly doing things that were forbidden by the religion, hoping not to get caught; most of our recreational options were dictated by the religion, as well as most of our time outside of necessary obligations like work. I lived that 'double-life' too, trying to be a good member of the religion, while having skeletons in my closet; discovery of those skeletons could lead to expulsion and the loss of your entire network which could include family. I have family that haven't spoken to me in 9 years; people I considered friends for decades will never speak to me unless I return to the cult. Anyway, one day a thought occurred to me that turned it all upside down. I didn't want to pretend anymore, nor did I want people heavily dictating my life at every angle. I walked away and lost everything. In the first year or so, all I did was go to work, return home, and watch TV, I had no clue how to make friends outside of the religion since we were taught people outside of it were 'bad' (it took a long time to start working at it). Shows like Dexter were my saving grace during that very lonely period. Dexter was especially cathartic, because I really identified with him having to hide who he was while trying to conduct his 'legal' affairs; every time he almost got caught was a moment of complete identification for me with Dexter; because I knew what that felt like. Totally different 'crimes' but probably the similar feelings of " oh sh*t , I'm caught my life is over ". What a great show. Will always have a special place in my heart for Dexter.
