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.

@olilaz "although he is incapable of love is just lazy writing"

nah, they got away with this promising concept at the end of season 1 of OG Dexter. And amount of times he would have being caught in the original series with bizarre getting away cards were shocking - Doakes storyline alone. Deb killing Laguerta etc.

"he would have always put his survival above everything else"

He was literally ready to be arrest by Laguerta. Come on

@olilaz Yeah but also the whole season... Dexter was so dumb many times... not like before a smart guy...
