Might be to the delight of some. Back for one season and to tie up a largely hated ending to season 8.

I'm decidedly 'meh' about this, the quality fell off a cliff after season 4, I can't imagine this will be any good.

Hope i'm wrong though as early Dexter seasons were excellent.

Nope. Its done, people moved on, let it lie.

Seasons 1-4 are up there with the best TV made, the rest just ruined that accolade.

No thanks - more excited about this....

They ruined it with the ending

Dexter - Tales of a lumberjack.

james.miller · 15 Oct 2020 at 09:08

nice. Clyde Phillips is onboard as well (S1-4 showrunner) so definitely looking forward to this .

Oh my days, Cage and Jaa, this looks to be the pinnacle of 2020.

While it wasn't as good as the earlier seasons the latter season were still good imo. Just the ending that was an abomination.

It only makes me like Cage even more

!

Ergghh - getting flash backs of the last episode now and how thoroughly disappointed I was.

Least the showrunner from the 1st 4 seasons is coming back too so hopefully it'll be Trinity Killer levels again and not what we got after season 4.

Nitefly · 15 Oct 2020 at 13:01

I seem to remember that seasons 3, 7 and 8 were duds but I quite enjoyed the rest. Will probably watch it.

Are people forgetting the season 3 arc with that politician guy? That really wasn’t great....

All of season 8 was a disaster. I completely stopped caring.

Exactly, it's why I hold hope that it might make up for the awful finale.

Ayahuasca · 15 Oct 2020 at 15:03

Will have to be an absolute masterpiece to make up for that ending.

It started out great but by the end it was basically an unintentional comedy series.

I still watched the later series and even enjoyed them a bit as a comedy, the season with Jimmy Smits in it was hilarious in places.

Smokey Deza · 15 Oct 2020 at 18:31

I would give it a watch, in hope it's more on the level of the earlier seasons. Can barely remember anything past Season 6.

What? I really liked EP3. Miguel was a clever adversary and the back and forth game vying for leverage over one another made for an entertaining series.

Probably my second favourite after the Bay Harbour Butcher! Easily the best season.

Season one, ironically, my least favourite of the 4.

PC777 · 15 Oct 2020 at 18:39

Miguel was the Jimmy Smits character, right? Maybe it was funny earlier than I thought if that's still season three, but he was still a highly watchable character in it IMO, definitely chewing the scenery a bit but in a highly entertaining way.

John Lithgow was good in it as well as a comedy style villain, but he's always good in that role.

Dexter really got bad later on when they started having too many storylines around his sister.

Whats he going to do, try bang his dead sister?
