good back-story, and good acting

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

As many other reviews note, this show started off great. The story was unique and the cast was great. And then it got repetitive....really repetitive. And the characters became annoying, self-destructive, and altogether annoying and frustrating to watch. The last half of this series destroyed my opinion of the entire series.

Dexter Morgan is a blood-spatter analyst for the Miami Police Department. He is good at his job and gets along well with his colleagues. Little do they know, however, that he is also fighting crime in his spare time - killing murderers who escape justice.Superb series. Solid plot, with every season bringing a fresh nemesis for Dexter and new reasons to look over his shoulder. It is a very intriguing and tension-filled drama. The fact that even his sister, who is a detective in the police department, doesn't know about his double-life makes for very entertaining television, as she could be his Achilles heel.Not perfect though. The writing did become weaker towards the end, with the final season being quite a disappointment. The final episode has to be one of the worst, especially considering the quality that came before it, in TV history. The conclusion is ridiculous.

I started watching Dexter on Netflix with my dad about a year ago. My dad is an absolute fan of this series, this is his 2nd to 3rd time watching it. The first two season (about) would be the most exciting ones where you just can't stop watching and go overnight. The seasons after that, however, made me lose interest. They were just the same as season two but changing the bad guy and adding or removing a few things. Season 3 and 4, in my opinion, would be the most boring (and annoying). Dexter would just be jumping around EVERYWHERE, getting involved with EVERYTHING in seasons 3 and 4.
Season 5, 6 and 7 were also the same. I would frequently join my dad every few episodes, he would watch the whole thing whereas I would jump in and out often. I would most of the time watch the first one or two episodes, then in the middle, then in the end. Hate me all you want, but it was just very boring.
Season 8, however, I watched the whole thing. Introducing a new character (Dr. Vogel) which I loved very much made it more interesting. That is all I am going to say about the final season, and that the finale is a great and unexpected ending to the long-running series.Because of how long the series is, the viewer would feel like there is a connection between themselves and Dexter and its cast. When Dexter ended, I now feel empty and I miss the show very much.Overall, it is a GREAT series for if you have time. I would suggest you watch the first few episodes and decide if you like the character "Dexter" or not. If not, I wouldn't suggest you continue to the next season.
