Although reception to individual seasons has varied, the overall response to Dexter has been positive. The first, second, fourth, and seventh seasons received critical acclaim, the third and fifth seasons received generally positive reviews, while the sixth and eighth seasons received mixed to negative reviews. While remarking on some of the show's more formulaic elements (quirky detective, hero with dense workmates, convenient plot contrivances), Tad Friend of The New Yorker magazine remarked that when Dexter is struggling to connect with Rita or soliciting advice from his victims, "the show finds its voice." The review aggregator website Metacritic calculated a score of 77 from a possible…

neutral · AI labelView post →Okay, but what if Young Dexter is good? Are we, as a society, prepared for Dexter to be an actually good show? I'm not saying it's going to happen, the odds are not in its favour, but I feel like we should have a plan, you know?
neutral · AI labelView post →Borrowing @tehweenus.bsky.social's Dexter again to show the aftermath of this fateful encounter. It's gonna be a long recovery but I think Lizk is in good hands.
neutral · AI labelView post →It would’ve been amazing if they just called the new show Young Dexter
neutral · AI labelView post →Ready for a prestige TV series about a post-Trump era where a truth and reconciliation commission has come up short, leaving a Dexter-like figure to go down a list of ICE goons. You don't even need other characters or plot. Or at least I don't.

neutral · AI labelView post →And obviously that was the last Dexter episode ever made, because everyone recognized that this was the perfect ending to the show and making any more seasons would be counterproductive. Right?
neutral · AI labelView post →I'm gonna rewatch Dexter the entire series for like the 3rd time cause Dexter Original Sin doesn't have enough episodes of people getting what they deserve and I'm kinda living for that vibe at the moment 🩸😎🤷🏼♀️
positive · AI labelView post →its kinda funny how much the Dexter series lost by removing the supernatural element of "dexter literally has the demon Moloch in his brain". I'm sure the show ditched it because it seemed too goofy but "man with murder demon in brain completely fits into police department" is so much more realistic

neutral · AI labelView post →What's beautiful about the television series Dexter is that it's like if there were a million seasons of the Sopranos and everyone in the original cast except Tony was slowly phased out or killed off over time and in every episode Tony was like "am I really... in the mafia?" as he did mafia things
neutral · AI labelView post →if you like that show Dexter you are weird. you need to take your ass on down the road with that mess.
negative · AI labelView post →I don’t know who needs to hear this, but DEXTER: RESURRECTION is a return to form for the series and character in that it feels just like it belongs in with the first few seasons. Jess and I mainlined it this weekend and blew through it in two nights. So fucking good with the best Dexter cast ever.

neutral · AI labelView post →New TV show idea. Just brainstorming here. A show like Dexter but instead of going after serial killers the guy goes after ICE agents. After the event today, I think it would be popular.
neutral · AI labelView post →This show is so fucking funny. The entire first season has a subplot about how Dexter doesn't want to fuck his girlfriend so she, of course, cosplays as Lara Croft.

neutral · AI labelView post →GATHER ROUND YE ZOOMERS: I am watching Dexter original sin and reminds me of when the original Dexter first premiered there were all these articles written about OMG the show glorifies a serial killer; what does it say that Americans are watching and loving a SERIAL KILLER, and it’s just so quaint…
neutral · AI labelView post →I wonder how the new Dexter series will find a way to disappoint the audience this time.
neutral · AI labelView post →The new Dexter: Resurrection is filming in Central Park. It appears to show Dexter on the run. Crazy idea. Dexter is now killing CEO's and the cliffhanger at the end of the season is he's caught and becomes a folk hero with massive support. Idk, probably unrealistic.
neutral · AI labelView post →It's too bad they're finding a younger actor for the new Dexter series... I was hoping for Michael C Hall in that shitty wig again :(((((

neutral · AI labelView post →I loved the tv series Dexter. The first book was badly written but ok plot. The follow up books were some of the weirdest and worst trash I’ve ever read Someone found the idea, ran with it and made several series of awesomeness Trash books don’t need banning

positive · AI labelView post →As a long time fan of Dexter on Showtime, I thoroughly enjoyed the first episode of the new series Dexter: Original Sin. Patrick Gibson and Christian Slater are excellent as the young Dexter and his father Harry. The original series jumped the shark twice during its final season (continued)
positive · AI labelView post →For this #ThrowbackThursday we'd like to show the fursuits we made for Richy, Lynel, Bedwyr and Dexter 🥰 #thekareliafursuits #fursuitmaker
neutral · AI labelView post →If you loved early Dexter, Dexter: Original Sin will truly satisfy your dark passenger. The younger versions of the series favourites occasionally border on cosplay (and Deb is way too short!) but Patrick Gibson has nailed it as Dexter Morgan. Only 3 eps in but loving it. Recommended!
