So this is my first write up about Dexter Series on Showtime. I am a huge fan of the show ever since the first episode I watched. For those that don’t know what the show is about, basically ”Dexter” Blood Spot Analyst for the Miami Metro PD and moonlights as a vigilante serial killer. .

So we just finished watching the final episode of season six this past weekend and I have to say this season was the least favorite of mine in the series. First of all it seemed highly predictable, and maybe since I have watched the show so much I can anticipate what’s happening next or maybe not. I do feel they veered from what Dexter is first and foremost, very very careful and meticulous.

Now, in almost every season of the show Dexter tends to veer from his path a little bit and seems to almost put himself in an impossible situation where there seems to be no hope to get for him to get out off. I think is what keeps people interested in the show, it gets pretty intense watching the show at times. In the end he seems to get away with by using his high intelligence and always going back to what his dad taught him to be careful and never get caught.

If you watch the show and have not watched this season you probably don’t want to read on because this will probably spoil it for you.

There were so many times in this season where I knew exactly where they were going with the story line before I think I should have. From the dead hooker in the hotel room to Travis sitting on his table in the church where his sister Deb walks in and catches him and seeing him for the first time as what he is, a serial killer. What really bothered me about the season finale was how sloppy he was, I mean he went to kill Travis at the one place he was told to go by his “Sister” Deb told him do some extra work. Of course she was going to bust him in the act, She knew exactly where he was going to be! I mean come one, how stupid is that.

The thing that was really annoying to me about the whole season was that Dexter in the previous seasons always went after the guys that beat the system somehow and escaped jail or even being found by the cops, or were untouchable by the law in some way. Which is what validates him being a vigilante serial killer in my opinion, but instead the whole time he was trying to kill the doomsday killer(s) while the cops were still hot on the case looking for the killer(s).

Overall it was a decent season though, cliffhanger ending with Deb wanting to bang her non-biological brother who she discovers to be serial killer at the very end was a good ending leaving us wanting more, I just was disappointed on how they got to that conclusion is all.

I know they are wrapping up the Dexter Series for two more seasons and I am personally excited to see how it all ends for Dexter! Hopefully they spend more time in the writing for department for the final two seasons.

This is just my opinion on the show and most just me reflecting on the last episode mostly. Thanks for reading.
