The game changer sets season 7 on an exciting new course. [8 Oct 2012, p.60]
From the brilliant performance by Michael C. Hall to the dryly witty scripting, Dexter secures a position near the top of another year's best list.

It's underated for real the show is absolute banger to show it masterpiece in his first fourth season strong story excellent character writing the main character is it's super cool fun serial killer the show has everything you need great drama action charisma like detective everything you need even romance next show yeah it's getting worse with the year like especially season 8 was not great at all but still still the show like has delivered us great experience I know I give it 10 and it doesn't deserve it but yeah due to the really really low rating I'm obliged to make a balance

Watching Dexter endure the bubbly, enforced cheer of family life may make this the best season of the drama series to date.
In the second season, some novelty has inevitably worn off, but Dexter is, if anything, more of a paradox and remains one of the most compelling characters on TV.
Though his cliche hard-boiled voice-over doesn't work, much of this series... does. [29 Sep 2006, p.73]
By Michael Endelman
When it's at the top of its game, Dexter brings True Blood to mind, subverting conventions of horror and violence to mock the various accoutrements of "normal" suburban life. With stepchildren Astor (Christina Robinson) and Cody (Preston Bailey) relegated to their grandparents' house, and with an Irish maid, Sonya (Maria Doyle Kennedy), caring for Harrison, the show loses some of its charm.
The grotesqueries of "Dexter" are not something that can easily be dismissed with the old "you don't have to watch" line. We don't have to watch. We do have to live among the viewers who will be desensitized, or aroused, by this show.

It's keeping bad to worse as it goes season by season. Initially it was okay but then why the hell you show a psycho killer as a god who can't even make a single mistake. I mean seriously!!!! Dexter can tell you whole how, when and where the murder happened but no one in the whole Miami metro police department and FBI can't even find 1 mistake or clue ......I can show 100. Suddenly a show supposed to show a psycho killer turned him a **** Robinhood who does for novelty and a best **** show turned him a god. I wanted to ask how much writers were high while writing this **** which more like a 10 year old's imaginative story than a professional writer's screenplay which must has a little realistic touch. A 15 years old boy can tell you a better story with a much more sense than this. One of the worst ending I have ever seen in movie/series.

A garbage heap of a show with a psycho at its helm and a ridiculous concept that only appeals to people who like to suspend disbelief indefinitely while favoring gratuitous violence for its own sake.
