Prequel Dexter is just Six Feet Under anyway. His gig as a gay mortuary ran its course and he had to get a new identity as Miami PD.

Tofu Injection posted:The thing about Dexter is it was always awful and about as subtle as a hammer. In the first like 10 minutes of the first episode he looks at a donut box and the voice over goes "empty inside. Just like me". The show never had any respect for the intelligence of its audience from day one.

Pretty sure the show peaks in the Season 1 finale. Probably at Suprise Motherfucker. They hadn't played nearly all that much with Dexter getting caught in the first season, mainly just the human traffickers where he gets spotted by a kid and the tranq drug gets flagged. But then all of a sudden Doakes has him in a very compromising situation and he has no excuses at the ready. And it really is a great surprise.

In my directors cut the show would have a Sopranos end right there.

Everywhere they go people try to chat them up about the latest episode of Dexter and they just want to let our their frustration that the show is not supposed to be good. Eventually the original Dexter watchers start to crack and start having homicidal thoughts. Collectively, they decide they need to move away from society and decide a forest in the Pacific Northwest would give them the seclusion to not have these thoughts about Dexter, their dark passenger if you will. So all the original Dexter watchers, grow beards, and put on lumberjack clothes and start cutting down trees to build their new homes.

No real ghost dad by Season 3, which surprises me. I remember ghost dad being omnipresent, like the premise of the show was "A serial killer who only kills serial killers and is guided by his ghost dad". Harry is starting to show up in Dexter's fantasies though. The cracks of the show are forming.

Yep, I was surprised by that while rewatching too. It’s all actual flashbacks for the first few seasons, but I guess they gave up on coming up with backstory that was relevant to every episode’s plot after a few years.

I remember watching this series over a decade ago but I couldn't tell you much about what I actually saw. I remember John Lithgow because who wouldn't remember that legend. And I remember that the ending was lame as gently caress I saw the trailer for the new season the other day. Seems dumb but I am definitely going to see the first episode

I can see why people were down on Season 3. Jimmy Smits is a fine addition to the cast, but absolutely nothing has happened halfway through it. Like 5 loving episodes of "Man, we should really find Freebo, huh?" The Dexter side of the show is fine but Miami Metro Homicide has been spinning its wheels in half the scenes for a long time now.

I did genuinely like the bit where Dexter was trying to talk down Jimmy Smits' brother, and the brother actually had a breakthrough upon realizing how full of poo poo Dexter and Miguel were. It's the one time Dexter genuinely helps another human being, other than when he mercy kills beloved character actress Margo Martindale in whatever season that was.

A runner in Season 3 is Deb is loving awful at interrogations. Like no skill whatsoever, doesn't try to get them on her side just starts screaming and threatening. This culminates in maybe the funniest moment of the season (I don't think this is intentionally a joke) where they have the Skinner in custody, Dexter is watching the interrogations, and she goes to him to get him to do his "psycho whisperer" bit. Dexter: You know, he seems very polite and respectful. I think respect is a big thing for him. Maybe you should try being deferrential to him. Deb: Oh yeah, deferential, that makes sense. Thanks! Deb then immediately throws the guy out of his chair and starts throttling him while demanding to know where he's keeping his victim.
