That ending just proved that this new show was just another terrible cashgrab sequel that they made just to take a dump on the original show of Dexter. The worst thing is that they have an amazing character to work with and there is so much they can do with it but instead of rebooting the series, they end it after only 10 episodes and not in a good way. It makes no sense to root for the characters that weren't even in the original Dexter, they are like unimportant side characters in Dexter's story and they are given too much focus and too much support.
Also, OG Dexter never would have made those mistakes and he would have always put his survival above everything else. And claiming that Dexter loves Harrison although he is incapable of love is just lazy writing.
All of this is lazy writing. Most modern hollywood tv shows and movies are just terrible reboots and terrible sequels that nobody asked for and when we do get a sequel that we would be interested in, they take a huge dump on it, as if to mock the original show's creators for putting in so much work into it.
The only things that have remained consistent over the past couple of years are anime, manga and books. And once a year, if I'm lucky, I get 1 movie that is a true 10/10, and maybe one show that I really love but it isn't like what it used to be, because nobody seems to know how to write good stories anymore, even with a character as basic and easy to write as Dexter. This show takes lazy writing to a whole other level.
Why is it so easy for Angela to find evidence? Very weak & unoriginal writing.
Now the other half of the internet gets to be disappointed and furious. Let the feud begin!
lol, this is worse than original ending. It's like they were going for season 2 and then halfway through the shooting of last episode it got cancelled so they finished the entire story in 20 mins.
Why would Dexter kill Logan when Angela's theory for him to be BHB rested on finding some needle marks and ketamine on some junkies. And he could've claimed Kurt set him up because he found Kurt's bunker. This makes no sense.
Don't worry guys, they'll get it right the third time!
As others have said, rushed ending.
My only comment is this: Meh....
Original Dexter was known for a long time to be the series with the dumbest finale ever.
Now they have surpassed their own previous achievement. Nobody could beat them for a dumb finale any time soon!
Otherwise, that finale made the whole series pointless.
Why did you need to reboot Dexter? So that you could kill him? Because you missed killing him on the boat in the middle of the severe storm so that you are able to create that bullshit sequel just to kill him in the most idiotic way assumed.
There was no need for that! You should have let him die in the storm. Or in the countryside, eating burgers, getting fat and eventually die from a heart attack.
And now what? Will create a new series about Dexter's son? Don't even try to make me watch that.
"let's make a reboot just to fucc it up for the 2nd time"
Really? He killed dexter for nothing. I wanted to see more of the real dexter, with killings and getting away with it. Not being killed by a brat.
This series had room for so much more and they ruined a second time. Damn, that's dumb.
Dex will surely be missed....
Noooooo. I so so hoped Batista and Dexter would get their confrontation... Although glad we got this season, I was actually more satisfied with the ending of the original series. It didn't leave me high and dry like this one did...
OK, when is the first season "Harrison" starting?
The 2nd half of this episode felt rushed. They should have added 1 more episode or maybe another 30 minutes to this one to finish some things off.
"Dexter: New Blood showrunner and screenwriter Clyde Phillips teased in a new interview that the finale of the continuation series will "blow up the internet" when it airs." "It is, I personally think, the best thing I've written."
A lot of things in this episode doesn't make sense also I don't mind killing Dex at the end but serving very dissapointing ending TWICE, wow what an achievement... They make fool out of me, again. What now? Season two and Dex will be a ghost, like Harry? Please, don't.
The writing this season has been as sloppy as "Jim" has. Angela keeps finding needles in haystacks—this time around, the one surgical screw that was in the cabin. Curiously not buried under ash and other rubble, it just happens to catch her eye while she casually strolls through the wreckage and chats with her partner.
Later in what is arguably the most baffling leap in logic seen in the show, she smugly pulls out the screw like it's supposed to incriminate Dexter further than what she already knows. What was her theory here? He kills Matt, burns the body, waits for the incinerator to cool down, takes a screw back home as a souvenir (implying he would have known they don't melt), and leaves the rest of the screws for someone to find? From her point of view there would be no reason for the screw to have ended up in his cabin unless someone was framing him. Come on, Ange, you're better than this.
i’m so fucking angry. i refuse to believe it. NO!
Even worse than original finale.
Very frustrating, frustratingly frustrating.
Dexter, being a Blood spatter and forensics dude would have known about pins and they have their own serial number, hell, even I know that, and I know and Dex would have known that and seen the scar as an indicator that Matt had surgery while doing his slicing and dicing. And every man and dog knows these are made of titanium and don't melt.
I don't know... I'm pretty disappointed at the moment and not sure about the whole lot now.
Then the second Cameo... what the hell was that all for?
Yep, disappointed.
nothing like his father huh? just shot dead for no reason. the show was good until the ending. just let dexter run to cali and start a new season!!!!! dumb writer.
The whole season was a solid 6/10. But finale was rushed and mediocre at best, A solid 3/10. I don't mind Harrison killing Dexter. But their encounter and conversation was so off and bizarre. The only character that was properly utilized was Angela.
P. S. : I can understand Dexter's willingness to die for his son. But I couldn't see the need for harrison to kill Dexter. Just my personal opinion.
Why did they even bother showing Batista again?
I'm satisfied. It gave everyone some much deserved closure.
I don't mind Dexter dying. I actually wanted the last image to be of him sitting on the electric chair. Dexter Morgan, like Tony Soprano and Walter White, is a man responsible for the death of innocent people and he should pay for his crimes.
Though, it's not logical his son shot him. I don't buy it.
Well... the plusside to this is that it makes the original ending much better.
Nobel prize in bad endings.
What another spectacular. The second time was definitely not a charm. This ending was terrible!
You can tell they tried a different approach and there's now some sort of "poetic justice" attached to this ending, which failed to convince me, as the sheer amount of frustration derived from it completely obfuscated said ending. As a whole, this felt like a rushed, not adequately pondered and not that well written episode, and it definitely was not a good wrap-up to the series. It did bring closure, but at the cost of unwelcomed dissatisfaction, at least for me.
I continue to stand by what I said in this season's premiere: I enjoyed the original ending. If there's one thing this ending shows is that the original one was the right fit for the series.
A show notorious for an awful ending comes back from the dead and has an even worse second ending. I need to rewatch the old seasons to wash the taste of awful out of my mouth.
I've read a lot of negative opinion on this finale and I guess everyone's entitled to those opinions but I have to disagree. I think the ending was good as it makes sense that Dexter's journey came to an end. And at least this gives Dexter the proper closure he didn't get before.
The main thing I'm disappointed with in this final episode is Batista. His appearance is almost pointless, I mean ok it served a purpose of providing Angela confirmation on Dexter but I think this would've been far more rewarding having Batista actually get to Iron Heights and confront/face Dexter. Ah well though, I've enjoyed this return to this great character.
Perfectly ended. Beautiful. This was just how it had to be, no two ways about it.
WOW what a f ending ... lol alone Harrison goes away like a normal person wtf xD
And killing his father y why not...
Soon he will be a real killer...
After all ... the season was not worth it alone the Father & Son bond was weird AF
So in other words, they repeated the same mistake as the original show? Great show, just ignore the last 30 minutes or so.
What has happened in the finale is not the problem. The problem is how it happened.
I'm seeing a lot of hate for this ending. I thought it was fantastic, other than the fact we lose one of the best television characters in recent memory - a tough but necessary pill to swallow.
Perfect ending that Dexter deserved. Bring on Harrison Morgan: First Blood.
I was at the edge of my seat thinking how could someone end the show when there is only 25 minutes left with so much to unwrap.
I would not call it a perfect ending but I think it was bound to happen this way. like poetry.
I don't know what to feel... wow
Minute 46:36... pause... I don't think I'll like how this ends. Should I continue or just stop here and call it a bad dream? Maybe snap my fingers and forget this season ever happened? Man up... complete the episode and deal with it later. God damn it!
Lol idc if this is too long or why did I do it but this is my reactions to the show, and my final review.
Why the sad music at the beginning?
Why does dexter have a Batman type ego now lol “the world needs us” is he going to wear a black suit by the end of this?
Whatttttttttt do mean that Harrison saw Dexter kill Matt??? But never said anything O_o
AHHH WHY ARE THEY CONNECTING BATISTA TO THIS MESS
I feel so hurt with this mess
AHHHH THE KETAMINE BS??? People looked back and he never used it
Great she found the body parts
Angela heel turning is dumb imo feels nothing for Dexter, lol even some people understand he kills bad people even tho it’s terrible to do
WHATTTTTTTTT WHY DID HE KILL LOGAN :sob::sob:
Bring up the god father gif :asterisk_symbol:look how they massacred my boy:asterisk_symbol:
Who is this Dexter/him guy?
now Harrison is heel turning???
where did this will to shoot his dad come from??? HE SHOOTS HIM JUST LIKE THAT???? Words can not explain this monstrosity
Who cares about this happy ending for the good moral people
Wow… lol I feel so heartbroken by how they did Dexter
The season had a lot of good writing and plots but the heel then is weird. Dexter didn’t use ketamine but Angela makes the connection because of it. And the director (or he’s the writer) response was that the website she looked at was not 100% sure if ketamine was used by the BHB they were just speculating lol even tho she made the connection twice as her evidence he’s the BHB. Plus when did Dexter become Batman? When the world needed him most he was gone. Lol him killing Logan was funny because we all thought Logan was a assistant to Kurt but nope Dexter snaps his neck . Lol plus why is Batista on his way if dexter got shot and “killed”?? It’s either a fan service scene or dexter is still alive some how lol?? :asterisk_symbol:Not dead until we see his body being burned:asterisk_symbol: why would they make a season 2 of dexter new blood about what karengla and Batista figuring out he’s the BHB when he’s dead, and Harrison will probably have dexter has his passenger :pensive:. Lol I wasn’t expecting a good ending for him, just disappointed on how it ended (unless he some how didn’t die again lol) my rants over now
Nooooo no no no no no! Then I rather have the previous ending... NO! :sob::sob::sob::sob::sob::sob::sob::sob::sob: for real... I've been a Dexter fan for so long... This ending hurts so much... It really feels like I lost someone dear to me right now... Damn this is painful! :sob::sob::sob::sob::sob::sob::sob::sob::sob::sob:
I have a lot of thoughts, but can't quite describe them coherently just yet - Dexter was one of the main shows that got me into TV in general, so it will take some time to process the loss of this show and character haha.
The only thing I'll say right now is... he needed to die. Even though Harry's Code allows Dexter to channel his urges while being able to live among people, there is no controlling them once he's cornered and there's no way out. We've seen this a few times before - the Dark Passenger takes over, and only a loved one can make Dexter realize what he's doing. At that point, he accepts that there's no alternative - he wants Harrison to shoot him, just like he wanted Deb to shoot him back in the Season 7 finale (I think he even makes the same gesture with his hands).
I need to gather my thoughts, but overall, I think I like this ending. Him escaping would've been another inconclusive ending, and I never really wanted to see him in jail at the end of it all. Like some others have said, I did think it was weird to leave Batista's arrival unseen - but I think the idea is more for us to know that the Bay Harbor Butcher case will be addressed regardless.
Didn’t see that coming in all honesty, feels like a lame way to end the legacy of Dexter Morgan
So I took a day to gather my thoughts about the finale, and I figured out what it was so disturbing about this for me.
I think all of us who loves Dexter felt comfortable with him as a representation of our own "misfit-ness", and by extension - some dark sides. We found comfort in rooting for him, even if it felt "bad". And I, personally, was happy knowing that he has a place in this world (i.e the lumberjack ending).
By killing him off, I feel the society becoming even more unaccepting towards those who are different. You can't BE if you're not right, fix yourself or get eliminated.
I feel that's where the world is going, and this finale is a representation of that.
I'm usually not the person of "back in my time", but now I feel that the 00's were times when we all got more ability to be ourselves (within the limits of morality, of course), and now this door is closing with the lack of privacy, the judgmental approach and the whole "cancel" culture.
So that's the end of Dexter for me, as well as the end of an era and a portion of my own youth.
Well, I guess it was good while it lasted. Still, feel kinda sad.
I should have been ready for this, but I wasn't.
Liked the season overall. Just liked.
Could see ending coming a mile away no matter how hard they tried to distract the audience (Batista should just be named SGT. McGuffin). Father of the year tho, that kid would have started running with wrong crowd had he not blew his father away and watched him die. Did I see a smile on Harrison’s face while he was driving off into the sunset? “Finally normal”.
I hope Audrey’s preg lol
AWWW...
...
...
......
HELLL NAW! !!
MAYBE NEXT TIME?
I don’t understand the hate this episode is getting, I think it was -especially the ending is a masterpiece
Debra pulling away her hand was cold.
They should have ended this with Dexter being the first one on Harrison's table for killing coach.
So much tension i love dexter
weird ending but i kinda had a feeling they were gonna do this. but man if this is the finale of it all, then what a ride. and if it isn't.. the start of something new.
They were really killin' it all season. Really liked the large letters during the closing credits -- reminded me of old school murder mystery novel covers.
That was one horribly sad ending...and, more than a little fucked up he'd push it to that extreme, even if that gave H his needed closure.
I'm so glad Ang got to find C's trophies...to give her her needed closure.
Of course Harrison's final analysis was correct -- the future victims saved by Dexter's dark vengeance didn't enter into his calculus. Which, in part, made this ending much more emotionally satisfying. Of couse, that unsent (?) letter to Hanna clinched the closing.
Just really well done...really killed it (I'm still fucking crying though).
nice, they gave us an even worse ending than before. at least i could imagine dexter livin life in the oregon forest before smh
absolutely terrible ending... it has no sense what Harrison did.. no sense at all, he wanted to be normal and would you feel normal killing your dad?! they really wanted to put an end but I'm the worst way possible.
Better than the original ending, but at what cost? Just about ten hours of your life.
It's a jaw-dropping end for Dexter Morgan.
A way better finale than the previous series.
A worthy ending I can say, although I wasn't expecting it.
That is the end he always deserved. Wake up people: he's a monster. And the letter explains why this was the fitting end. It's for the best. This is maybe not the big violent and bloody climax some were expecting but it deserved a peaceful end (if you wanna call being shot "peaceful") and over the years we have seen enough blood. Some will maybe say that Dexter's whole approach was not as clever as his "work" back in Florida, and that he lost his nerves and he hurt the officer for nothing although he could have easily convinced a jury that it was not him but the monster Kurt who killed Matt and subsequently tried to frame him but is that what you wanted? Him becoming the old Dexter? Back in full psycho mode? Walter Whites and Dexters must die at some point. I hope they don't start a sequel with Harrison as a younger version of Dexter. He's better than his dad. (Not sure though whether it was really inevitable that his son had to kill Dexter - he doesn't seem to be the guy who spontaneously develops a conscience, principles and such ruthlessness. He's not (yet) a very convincing killer).
I can see season 2 coming, with Harrison killing and Dexter as his Dark Passenger....
It took a decade, but this is the ending Dexter needed.
An actual closure. I liked it. Would it be cool to have another season since the show is good now? Yeah. But maybe it's best not to risk it again. These fuckers really have a tendency to overextend shows until they're terrible.
Not bad. Not bad at all. One solid point as a bonus from me for having guts to end on a definitive note.
There were some hiccups. Pacing overall was a bit off. I don't understand the reason for showing Angela being so sure that she has solid proof when in reality it would take zero brain power to first suspect a person that gave you most of the screws and steel in the first place. Footage had more promise honestly. But oh well.
As for proof for being the Bay harbor butcher that part worked way better for me. And his desperate and hypocritical actions RIP Logan. I love that it was the showdown between two thematically appropriate counterparts in the end. I would honestly prefer more legal way of dealing with it. Although lying and getting away with murder is part of the show works for the series too. And in the end with the letter it did felt like a proper end overall. Without any promise for more seasons from a certain character not from the title.
His last sorry at the end of his life
It’s like he is saying it for everyone who watched this season :”|
There are no dexter in this Dexternewblood thing
:thinking:After that season FINALE, who’s ready for season two? :rofl::joy::joy::joy::joy: :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:
It did say finale. So let’s think about it for a second. Without spoilers for those who seen it, think about what cold weather and snow can do to a body laying there bleeding:thinking:. To die or not to die that will be the question for season two, if they planned season two that is.
:eyes::eyes::eyes:poggggg they said “season finale”
I needed a day to sit with the ending before I commented. Was I upset with the final episode? Absolutely. But it wasn't necessarily because Dexter died. Much like the prior season, it was due to the complete break in the series and the characters.
The beginning of the episode played out alright. And then it quickly spiraled after he was arrested. And this is the point where it seemed as though the writers painted themselves into a corner. They saw where they wanted to go, but didn't have a clean exit strategy. It wasn't so much Dexter's character that devolved, but everyone around hhim.For instance, Coach breaking protocol with the bottle of water? Now, I can see that happening when he was first brought in and didn't know the charges. Not after. And having the police chief run around like an idiot was just silly. And the ending with Harrison driving off into the sunset after killing his father? Lame.
But maybe it's just me :-)
Despite all of that, this was a much better season and I am sad to see it end.
[8.3/10] Dexter: New Blood did the thing I wanted for so long from the original Dexter series -- have the title character face the reality of his actions. When challenged on it, Dex confronts the fact that however much he may drape his extracurricular activities in the mantle of “justice”, he does this because he loves to do it. He acknowledges that without him, good and innocent people like Rita, Harry, Doakes, Lundy, LaGuerta, Logan, and most of all Deb might still be alive.
Dexter accepts responsibility for what he’s done, the harm he’s inflicted on the world and not just the “trash” he’s taken out, with the most conviction we’ve ever seen from him. He finally listens to the voice of Deb in his head, speaking those truths he knew but couldn't acknowledge. And more than that, he listens to his son.
That gives the landmark scene of New Blood even greater force. This is no simple epiphany provoked by necessity or happenstance. It stems from a rejection from the son who, for all his problems, Dexter genuinely loves dearly. His greatest joy, his greatest hope, was to be able to start a new life together. Each would have someone who understood them. Each would have someone they could be honest with. It was the solace both were looking for, and despite that, Harrison has the fortitude and the moral compass to recognize what his father truly is and turn away from it.
His rejection of his father stems from that realization about Dexter’s motivations for all the killing, but also about where his own dark impulses come from. They are not just from another child being born in blood, or an inborn trait inherited from his Dark Defender Dad. They are, instead, the product of abandonment, of the belief that there was something wrong with him that caused his dad to leave, over every day that Dexter could have come to reassure him but didn’t.
That is cutting. To be on the cusp of the life both thought they wanted, only to have your son not only rightfully reject that life, but also rightfully reject you, is devastating. This is the comeuppance Dexter has so rightly earned for a lifetime of ill-deeds. And as compelling as it was to watch those deeds for nine seasons, the poetry of his own son killing him, a final instance of a bad guy slain for the greater good, is a satisfying way to end his story, and punish him for his crimes.
With that, New Blood is the satisfying ending to the Dexter franchise that the original series was ill-equipped to deliver, and a corrective to the god awful ending we actually got. With the Kurt Caldwell business mostly out of the way, “Sins of the Father” makes room for a reckoning, not only with the double-life Jim Lindsay’s been leading in Iron Lake, not just with the son whom he left behind, but with the entire trail of bodies and blood Dexter has left in his wake.
There is, admittedly, something satisfying both about the cops finally seeming to be able to pin these murders on Dexter, and at the prospect that Dexter may be able to wriggle out of it once again. As much as New Blood feels like a corrective to the back-half of Dexter’s original run, it’s also a corrective to the face that Miami Metro seemed to have all the detective skill of Springfield P.D. or the Banana Guards from Adventure Time.
Miami Homicide rarely seemed to suspect anything despite the fact that they had a killer in their midst, which was convenient for a continuing show, but strained credulity. (Granted, Doakes and LaGuerta figured it out and died for it, and Quinn came close but if I recall, seemed to choose to turn a deliberate blind eye, so they weren’t totally hopeless.) Here, Angela puts the pieces together not just over Matt Caldwell, but connects him to the Bay Harbor Butcher in a way even Lundy was never able to.
I think I owe a bit of an apology to Julia Jones. I continue to think her character was shabbily written in the early going, and that her performance was too flat to elevate the material. But here, she expertly conveys the anger, the horror, the overwhelming sense of everything being fucked as her partnership, her town, and her life all come unraveled in one night.
She all but pins Dexter. She finds the answer to the missing women that have been her white whale. And in the throes of such earth-shattering revelations, Jones is more than up to the challenge of the heightened emotions these moments call for. Mea culpa.
That's the other satisfying part of New Blood’s finale. It ties up the vast majority of the loose ends, including ones that weren’t introduced this season. Angela puts the pieces together on Matt Caldwell’s death. She uncovers Kurt’s lair and the answer to the questions that have nagged at her for years. The true Bay Harbor Butcher is exposed. Batista’s been keeping a file on LaGuerta’s murder, and there’s a heavy implication that he might get answers and peace there as well.
This is an ending with finality, that brings to the fore so many things the season, and the series, seemed to be saving for a rainy day. (I guess the petrochemical billionaire and the other townies of note from the early going were just red herrings, which is fair enough.) Here, it all comes tumbling out, and Dexter’s sins, past and present, are finally brought into the light.
(The only other thing I’d like some closure on are how Astor and Cody have fared in the years since it all went down. But we can't have everything, I suppose.)
The one thing I didn’t care for is Dexter being able to murder Logan from a jail cell. Most of this episode plays fair. Dexter’s ability to get out of situations is spurred by the shakiness of evidence that could point in multiple directions and his craftiness in pointing the finger elsewhere. But this is another instance of him basically being Batman, which is something I never liked in the series’ original run (implausibly escaping the “The Skinner” in season 3, anyone?), and it strains credulity.
And yet, it serves a purpose. It is the thing that confirms for Harrison that his dad is not the good guy. We’ve already had hints that, for all Harrison is excited about being able to connect with his father, and as inspired as he is by the idea of sparing other innocent people from having to surfer at the hands of the bad guys, he suspects something is wrong with his father’s ways, and, despite his problems, doesn’t have the same taste for blood that Dexter does.
That's what I love most about “Sins of the Father”. It tempers the joy of Dexter and Harrison being able to be open and honest with one another with the pain of Harrison finally understanding the complicated monster that his father is, but also the tonic of him being freed by the same curse.
In that rests a measure of redemption for Dexter. He may still be responsible for the path of discussion that follows behind him. But for once, he not only has the self-awareness to finally understand and accept that, but to also accept his own death as a means to ensure Harrison can have a real life, not just the cursed one that he’s lived for so long.
Angela ensures the same, an act of kindness to make sure that Harrison isn’t forced to pay for his dramatic but necessary actions, another murder covered up, with the cost of having to leave the life he’s found and the connection he forged here behind. With a hug and a goodbye never to see each other again, it is appropriately bittersweet.
The same is true for the final voiceover that closes the series. In the letter to Hanna, Harrison uncovers the truth. His father did want to be with him. He did love him. His act of abandonment was not a means to escape a child who would bring trouble or shame, but a more self-sacrificing willingness to deny himself his heart’s desire so as not to corrupt a young man with a big heart who deserved better than him.
It is the absolution and reassurance that Harrison so badly needed. Repeatedly here, he explains that what he wanted was to be normal. Dexter hopes to allow for just that. The ethical impulses Harrison has, the ability to make peace with the parental absences that have messed with his psyche, suggest that he may have a real chance at that.
For almost a decade, Dexter pretended to be dead so that his son could have that peace. Now, he accepts the end of his life for real, in the hope that it can give Harrison a more lasting comfort and peace, and the ability to push past the damage his father has wrought on his life. In his final moments, Dexter finally accepts the monster he became, but also commits his most selfless act for the son he loves -- the gift of sealing away his corrupting influence once and for all, and sparing him from ever having to become the same.
what an ending... I preferred the storm to this, I hope that in some not too distant future someone will say that this is not canon and give our anti hero a worthy ending.
Oh Dexter! I am gonna miss you
I found it difficult to like the Harrison character throughout the series. Even so, the ending made absolutely no sense whatsoever.
Ending seemed rushed. Thought for sure they were going to leave room for a second season. I can't believe he killed the coach. That one felt wrong
After such a strong season they end it like that? Some wannabe poetic ending? I suppose we should agree with Harrison objectively. Dexter has definitely had collateral damage along the way but dammit, we loved him anyway.
Maybe they needed to keep the ending closed so it could be a one season mini series? God knows I don't care one iota about Harrison. Certainly not enough to watch him as a lead. Even if they do a hokey ghost Dexter.
There’s 10 hours I’m not getting back. I’m refusing to call this series cannon
That's the right way to do it . now next series to punish Harrison.
For the most part, I think Dexter New Blood redeemed the piss-poor ending Dexter received. The ending was pretty predictable, but maybe that's just because it was inevitable. Surely few people wanted to see Dexter die, but the murder of Logan really solidified his fate, and I'm not sure there could be a different ending to the tale of a vigilante serial killer.
WTF? I wish Dexter had killed the writers of this episode.
I guess we're not getting a season two! That was an absolutely horrendous ending. You couldn't have made it any more worse if that was your intent. too bad it would have been nice to see more of the show.
Well that sucked. Didn't care for the ending at all.
Angela such a good detective, she can easily find everything the writers hid from her. That said google helped her too.
I don't mind the ending but I find how we got there stupid. Angela insta connects the right dots with help from the gods and Dexter killing the other police officer so his son can easily shoot him. How considerate.
Would also be nice if they showed the aftermath.
I think it was for the best. Defo just a one off special then.
I mean it was an okay final and I enjoyed the season as a whole. However, I was really looking forward to Batista confronting Dexter because that would have been a really cool moment so I was disappointed when it never came. I feel like this season could have been so much better than it was.
I loved this season. I was not expecting it to be this good at all. In fact, we tried to start a Dexter re-watch and found ourselves not liking it much. Somehow this new season captured what was special about the first seasons and updated it to be relevant. I loved how the new episodes dropped on Sunday and it gave me really old vibes of how it used to air on Sundays in the mid 00s.
Sad to see it over - felt they could have easily told this story over 2 10 episode seasons. But what a joy compared to the old ending. Good Bye Dexter - one of my favourite shows of all time finally got a nice send off.
I don't see a season 2 in this. It would be too predictable and may as well watch 'Mr Ed' (for those young'n here it was a sitcom where the focal guy had a talking horse).
A controversial ending that I'm sure will receive a lot of hate, but I personally loved it.
Dexter has broken down, mentally and physically throughout New Blood, and his son was his final hope of gaining happiness or the prospect of a happy life. But acknowledging that he deserved to die for the betterment of Harrison is the most noble thing he could have done, and it almost brought a tear to my eye. love it or hate it. But some of the best ones often are. It will be studied and analysed for years to come, and I hope people who dislike it so much may come to like it more someday.
Farewell to an amazing show, and an amazing character.
Most stupid finale I've ever seen
Another terrible finale. Clyde Phillips can suck it.
You guys are overreacting. It was way better than the last ending.
Of course it could have been better but it wasnt that bad.
Worst ending ever on tv ...
Should have never watched it.
sadly i expected that ending .. i wish i been wrong i was more interested to see Dexter walk with some genius idea. it's fine i can accept this one because the whole 10 episodes done perfectly.
good bye our hero RIP.
Devastated :tired_face:
Hope writers/ MCH bring us something new to watch just as enthralling as the Dexter series.
It was the only way out, for both of them. C’est la vie.
SEASON TEN???!! God I'm glad I stopped watching 6 years ago. The meme was a good notice to stop.
Took a couple of minutes to take some breathe before I left a review saying something like “I’m so f:asterisk_symbol:cking upset about the season finale” but man… if Angela love her job so bad, even more than her relationship, why the f:asterisk_symbol:ck would her let Harrison go away just like that; what a double morale/standards for the “good chief of police”.
On the other hand, Dexter may planned this carefully, after all, who sent that envelope containing the titanium screws to Angela?, don’t forget he went to Kurt’s office where apparently, he did not find anything. Or at least, yet we haven’t seen that scene…
Anyways, they gave us an even more f:asterisk_symbol:cked up Dexter Morgan then the one we saw back on 2013.

Really wanna give it less than the minimum 1 star. This was atrocious. How ironic the whole intent of this series was to fix the “ending” and wound up being far worse than the original finale. This was gut wrenching, not because of anything happening on screen, but because of how ill conceived and unprepared this whole thing felt. The entire season was a letdown but this finale was the nail in the coffin. Goodbye Dexter Morgan, you deserved better.
