But the entire season 8 was deeply terrible, and seasons 6 and 7 were pretty bad too.

The setup ofDexterwas like that ofThe ShieldandBreaking Bad; criminal anti-hero protagonists living a lie.
For years, fans wondered how Morgan’s colleagues would react to the truth and they never found out.
It’s a shoe fans spent eight seasons waiting to drop and it never did.
Recapture the original tone.
Yet the finale itself had entirely the opposite tone it was grave and serious-minded.
It’s a tricky balancing act to get this tone just right.
The final season ofDexterintroduced gobs of new characters (remember The Brain Surgeon?
Marshal Clayton?).
But hopefully, the episodes won’t get sidetracked and drown out its star and core cast.
