About Dexter:
He's smart, he's good looking, and he's got a great sense of humor. He's Dexter Morgan, everyone's favorite serial killer. As a Miami forensics expert, he spends his days solving crimes, and nights committing them. But Dexter lives by a strict code of honor that is both his saving grace and lifelong burden. Torn between his deadly compulsion and his desire for true happiness, Dexter is a man in profound conflict with the world and himself. Golden Globe winner Michael C. Hall stars in the hit SHOWTIME Original Series.
Starring: Michael C. Hall, Julie Benz, Jennifer Carpenter, Erik King, Lauren Vélez, David Zayas, James Remar, C. S. Lee, Desmond Harrington, Aimee Garcia, & Geoff Pierson

I always love the scene where Trinity confronts Dexter at work. Them standing face to face you really see how large and imposing he is even in his 60s.
Season 4 was such a strong season, man. Dexter at it's best is amazing. To think that the first time he exhibited hubris about killing someone, it cost him everything.

That's why his kill cycle begins with burying a 10 year old alive, at one point he even implies it's to "preserve the boy's innocence"
"Suicide. Will it be my only solution someday?" My guy had new blood planned out since the beginning.
I remember after finishing this season I was so shocked and pissed about Rita that I watched 8 seasons of Supernatural before going back to finish the series
I’ll do anything!!! ‘Good. Jump.’ Lolol
This was always my favorite season ! #S4ftw!
Imagine if Trinity actually got away with Rita's murder escaping again driving in to the sunset to another country. would have been 10 times darker. But still a fantastic season finale
The single most devastating moment in the series. Never ever ever saw it coming. Just knowing Trinity told her all about Dexter and then killed her in the bathtub. Man. Horrific.

Glaring plot hole at the construction site where Dexter "saved" Trinity's life. How was he going to carry Trinity out of the construction site with all those workers there?
DEXTER....for president
I think Trinty is the only killer in the show that actually put fear in Dexter and is more terrifying than him
I wish they didn’t screw up that last season,
Dexter should have made him eat the rest of his sisters ashes before he killed him for what trinity did I think he got off too easy
So depraved, sick and twisted the trinity killer this was my favorite season
This season was so good it nearly killed the series, the cast, writing, and story line - Perfect. 18:12. Masks off - The Thanksgiving Dinner episode is one of my top 5 moments of all time.

If Showtime had restraint, they would have ended Dexter at season 4 and the tv-show would be regarded as the cult classic with the perfect finale and ending on the best season yet at the peak. Harrison mirroring Dexter's fate. Dexter killing the Trinity, but still losing overall... Buuuuuuuuut... It's not how the story went Instead, Dexter went out with the wet fart. What's worse is that it ended the same time the freaking Breaking Bad did. So, the shitty ending was even more shittier in comparison. What's even worse is that years later the show got second chance to end things right, and New Blood was kinda good, until the finale, where they fucked up again I want to show my wife the tv-show, but I am like, should I even start if I am planning to end it on season 4

Someone will disagree with what I am about to say but I don't particularly care; dexter kind of was the good guy( in the beginning) and the writers should have kept him that way concerning how he stuck to his father's code of going after bad people only; he could have ignored that and went after anyone he wanted at any time, he could have given in to the temptation of killing the security guard his brother had laid before him at the abandoned hospital or his sister at their childhood home but he chose to follow his father's rules despite his own issues with him because deep down he really didn't want to hurt innocent people and season after season was showing him striving to be a better person and was achieving that slowly especially with lumen in season 5 and brother sam in season 6, Hannah in season 7 Was the worst character ever thought of for her corruptive influence is what brought down Dexter's Integrity and ruined him from being the lovable and honorable character we all know from the books and earlier seasons, the show's 2 endings was I feel very disappointing because they wrote it and his character all wrong for he wouldn't have given in to his grief over the loss of his sister to where he would abandon his own son, sure he would be at his lowest for a minute but he would pull himself together and remember the promise he made to deb of how he would always be there for harrison no matter what and you can't sit there and convince me that a small town sheriff like his girlfriend angela would be able to bust a notorious killer like Dexter based on circumstantial evidence not to mention the tranquilizer formula is not the same; he never used kenimine on his targets he used M99, The writers should have continued adapting his story from the novels for they had tons of potential of doing and successfully pulling off a reverse breaking bad and the blacklist with the character, turning him into his very own sophisticated concierge of crime fighting with a vast network of resources at his disposal to help him hunt those that escape justice while keeping him 2 steps ahead of the people he works for in law enforcement who feels and views himself as the "the bad guy" that doesn't believe he can change but doesn't want to disappoint his father, his best friend angel, his wife, kids and sister by giving up trying with case after case and ultimate showdowns with the main antagonist of the season pushing him further and further down the path of being a honorable, righteous and semi-heroic individual with new blood being his swan song where he sacrifices himself to save his son, his son's girlfriend along with his own girlfriend from Kurt Caldwell, his son and the billionaire character they had in there that was serving as a red herring, have it where he had a connection to kurt and was involved somehow in covering up his secret of being the runaway killer and Dexter dying ending their threat once and for all thus earning his redemption which brings his story arc full circle with him ultimately breaking good, As for doakes the most annoying thing about him was his hypocritical attitude towards dexter when he tried to get him in trouble for just doing his job as a blood spatter specialist after he in an act of revenge shot dead a former death squad operative who was unarmed and tried to cover it up with lies which put his partner angel batista in a very uncomfortable situation of possibly turning him in to be arrested by IA until he was given a pass by the government, It should have been written and adapted according to the way it worked out in the books where they worked together to take down a cartel leader and doakes was severely maimed by the main antagonist dr danco to where he lost his legs and arms and tongue as a consequence for killing in cold blood that death squad operative who just so happened to be related to the villain, dexter tries to save him despite him knowing his secret but fails, he goes into a comma and dies later on in the 3rd season but Is revered as a hero cop and posthumously awarded a medal for risking his life to bring down dr danko who gets framed by Dexter as the Bay Harbor butcher, the same scenario can be applied but altered to the character Maria Laguerta, have the consequences of her actions in season 2 befall her in season 7 by having esme come back for revenge on laguerta for ruining her career by using her secret connections to the criminal underworld to frame her and make her look as if she's losing her mind like what laguerta did to her by sleeping with her boyfriend and have it where Debra is the one that tries to save her but fails with season 8 being the final season that deals with the fallout of that event and Dexter being the loving caring brother that he's been towards her trying to help her overcome the grief of laguerta's death all while dealing with the reign of terror from the brain surgeon, I say all of that to say that joe from the show YOU doesn't hold a candle to dexter and that dexter would have that despicable man for breakfast, lunch and dinner to feed the very jackels he came from! 🔥😁😉👍
