Just watching Dexter for the first ever time.

Season 1-4 is some of the best TV I've seen, although there are definitely high and low points in here.

I'm current on season 8, episode 10, and the drop off is GoT-esque. Rushed writing and character development, no weight to anything. Miguel had more gravitas than anything in season 5-8.

Did they change writers and producers in this show? It went from top tier to facebook mom writers.

The main characters were married in real life, Michael hall being a producer forced the on screen incest relationship. Bizarre.

Yea….. the fuck man. Probably the most retarded story I've seen on TV.

Clyde Phillips was the show runner for seasons 1-4 and wasn't involved with 5-8.

He did return for New Blood, Original Sin, and Resurrection.

Are they the same quality as 1-4 as at this point I absolutely done and never want to return.

New Blood, no.
The other two, yes.

Thanks, but I think I'll drop it after the end of s. 8.

Still got some great shows on my to watch list, Death Note, Breaking Bad and next year the tales of dunk and egg is coming out. S4-8 of Dexter has been like a slap in the cock and I don't appreciate it.

I disagree with bit in regards to New Blood. Clancy Brown is phenomenal. Check imdb rating on the episodes on new blood, but the entire season has fantastic atmosphere and it is far better than the last 2-3 seasons of the og Dexter with the exception of the last episode but only because ppl thought it was the actual end whcih sucked ass. Now that Ressurection is a thing, which btw is absolutely fantastic and it's right there with Trinity Killer season, New Blood's bad ending can be put to rest.
