Sins of the Father

I wondered why the bad ratings because until the first 36 minutes, it was all good. Then came one bad scene that made this worse than GoT finale. I actually hated the final episode of Dexter where he goes into the sea. But I hoped this would be better. I was rooting for this. Why such pathetic writing? What is with writers and final episodes? Every other episode was so brilliant.

The finale was like that person who breaks up with you, calls you back 10 years later, just after you are over with him/her, just so that he/she can break up with you again in a worse way.

I'm giving this a generous 5/10 because I was still interested to see what's gonna happen till the last few minutes even. Also, I actually liked the episodes leading up to the finale. But oh boy how they butchered the ending! What was the point of reviving the show if they were gonna give us this half-baked, forced, royal mess of a finale? Can't believe they disappointed us...again!

I find it ironic that the writers claimed this would be a shocking ending, when this possible ending with who did what, was discussed as the ultimate cliche cop out. Fans of the show on reddit insisted that the predicted scenario would not be correct since it would be too lowbrow. Well we got that lazy ending.

And here we have it, the lazy writers choice. Dexter makes a series of way out of character mistakes. The moral ambiguity is all gone. Instead we get a pedestrian "lesson" on toxic fatherhood. All dads in this show are bad.

Also we can forgive a minor plot hole, but this also has two major plot holes that are in effect gigantic red herrings as well.

What a total disappointment!! Who does this kind of thing! Why even come back in the first place, when you could have just let it be after the final season of Dexter.

All I know is that showtime will get no more money from me and I hope other fans will do the same. I apologize for the review that seems more like a rant. I guess that's because it is.

So disappointed in the way they all let this go the way it did.

Goodbye Showtime!!!!
