    Why are the writers ramping everything down?!

    Literally every aspect that has made Dexter a great show in the past is missing here.

    • No manhunt
    • No threats to Dexter being exposed
    • No kills
    • No thrills
    • No development of rivalry between Dexter and the main season villain


    I'll simply never understand why the writers decided that the second half of the final season of Dexter should be where they ramp everything down. This should have been where all the stops were pulled. This should have been where Dexter faces his biggest threats ever from both the main season villain and Miami Metro Police.

    Instead we get a full hour of Dexter calmly lamenting on his decision to leave Miami. I sincerely have absolutely no idea what the writers were going for at this point.

    Good

    It's a good episode. The rating should go up. I think I like Dexter, but this episode isn't bad either. Keep going.

    I expected the finale to be good. Resurrection is going well. I watched it too. It's a good series.

    He works as a blood spatter analyst for the Miami Metro Police Department while also leading a secret life as a serial killer.

    Please don't under-estimate and over-expect from Dexter, he deserves better

    I am not going to write long review as i belong to those category of people who liked to keep things short and simple. For starters, Dexter is one of the best TV series that a viewer thoroughly enjoys watching and relate with his own real life and question his own conscience. I certainly did not want this season to be the same like others where dexter keeps on killing people instead i wanted dexter to see his other side of himself and succumb to his emotions to truly realize what it means to be a human. I wanted less drama and less action but more intense introspection from his end and i am happy that dexter did that all. He realizes that even after he is gone from Miami the killing will not stop, there will be crime present and its no longer in his hands to keep playing the role of self-appointed judge. He deserves a better life than the present, one that is devoid of all the psychopathic nonsense and so does harrison and hannah!

    Let us all embrace to the fact that the director is not going to listen to the hate-mongers, rather he will give a meaningful end to this season and perhaps might even keep the windows open for a season 9, just in case they decide to tell us dexters story after he goes to Argentina. i wish, there was another season after this! i am so happy to see Dexter becoming a better man than what he initially thought he is. He deserves a better life and a little more love for the audience. After-all he has been a guardian to the Miami city for 8 long years..

    what a moron storyline episode

    It's been noticeable how the series has been going downwards towards the end, but this episode is the top of the cake - so bad, beyond weak!!! script is never been as stupid as in this one. From a very smart, sneaky, cautious Dexter to a looser Dexter. Common!

    Goodbye Dexter

    Dexter use to be fun.

    A kind of release from the mundane dramas all around us, but now it's overfilled with tiresome dialog and drivel that bores its fan base into tearing drones. Vogel was such a boring character and now gone, flush another episode away. Only two left and my sense is it will not end to the satisfaction of its fan base of the previous 7 Seasons.

    It better culminate with something special like a "Dirty Harry" revenge statement, "Do you feel lucky, asshole?" as Dexter stabs Oliver Saxon into his chest, gushing blood everywhere, then propelling him over the side of his boat and into Biscayne Bay.

    So far it's too milquetoast for Dexter.

    And beautiful Hannah, how boring her dialog has been for such a potentially dynamic character as the asinine manhunt and Deb's confusion and extreme pain from Dexter's obvious rejection of her opinions, leave us wanting for more.

    Unfortunately, the end will leave us hanging, if it doesn't get any better than this….. Goodbye Dexter!

    • Trivia
      When Dexter is setting up his kill room and Harry says "It's been a long time since we've been in here." and Dexter replies "Choir director." This could possibly be a reference to Dexter's first on screen victim in the pilot episode.
    • Goofs
      The authorities are looking for Hannah, but she doesn't dye her hair or change her appearance in any way, nor are the Morgans shown suggesting she do so.
    • Quotes

      Dexter Morgan: So how do you feel about us leaving?

      Debra Morgan: Scared. My whole family's moving.

      Dexter Morgan: Scared?

      Debra Morgan: You've always been there. I don't know what my life looks like without you.

      Dexter Morgan: Well, maybe it looks better.

      Debra Morgan: Really? Hanging out with two serial killers. Does it get better than that?

      Dexter Morgan: So you see my point.
