It wasn't terrible. Maybe I had my expectations so low that I was surprised how un-bad it was.
But seriously, why the did Hannah not cut and dye her hair knowing that the Fed Marshall was on to her.
Not to mention what would have been a high profile marriage to the casino guy.
between the ty "brain surgeon" villain who comes out of nowhere to be the big bad finale, the utter lack of closure for dexter, just felt like they punted instead of making a decision
Not that that would have been bad, but idk why they couldn’t just end the show with Dexter escaping w Hannah and Harrison to South America and living happily. It didn’t need to have a tumultuous ending, but to your point the ending needed to be one extreme or the other. Either Dexter is cured of his psychopathy and then leads a happy life, or he ends up dead/in prison. The reason the ending sucked is because it tried to split the baby.
Of all the premium channel TV shows that I’ve been addicted to, Homeland had by far the best ending imo. Brought closure to all the plots/subplots and had a good mixture of sad/happy. The ending to the Sopranos wasn’t bad but it was overrated.

Yeah...but I guess was able to watch it knowing that there's another season coming out. Also I think since I was able to binge it, I didn't have this long wait period in anticipation of the "final" season. So maybe it wasn't as much of a let down. In any event, it was a good series but definitely doesn't belong in the same tier as BB, The Wire, etc.
Michael C Hall looks like a grandpa these days. Also his acting seems to be stuck between Dexter and David.
Tried watching Safe a while back and it was so bad. Like 100% bad. Story, acting, everything.
I haven't seen anything to suggest he's a great actor. He just happened to catch a couple of good roles in good series. Serieses?
wifey was watching The Crown, and i caught a glimpse of some scenes were he was supposedly portraying JFK. he was ing awful
he's good in the role of Dexter, but he doesnt have any range or real acting chops. in dexter he gets to play a psycopath with limited (though to be fair, expanding) emotional range
Exactly. I mean...can a bad actor really up playing a psychopath? All the bad chops and personal interactions can be chalked up to, "oh man...what a psychopath".
Nah, I dont think he's a bad actor. Just has limited range.
He's good at playing detached and emotionally scarred charactes like Dexter (A serial killer) and David Fisher. (A repressive gay mortician)
He cant do normal roles. He comes off as boring as .
Then I'm not sure what "bad actor" means. If he can't pull off normal roles.
I mean...isn't it like a Down's Syndrome actor that's really good at playing characters with Down's Syndrome?
Maybe he's believable at that, but you can't really cast him in anything else.
Not really I mean comedy actors are good at comedy but not so good at serious drama. Few can pull that off.
Yeah...but that's comedy. Most of those guys were stand ups before acting. Here, we're talking about a dramatic actor that can only seem to pull off one kind of role. And according to comments from spurraider, sucked trying to do something else.
i dont think Michael C Hall had to act particularly well for Dexter. Its not like he was Joaquin Phoenix on Joker . i mean look at this acting in what should be a high tension scene. he kinda just talks without emotion, which i cant imagine is particularly taxing. but he was good enough for the role. as the show had a lot of narration, he also had a good voice for it.
Anyone watched the first episode yet? I haven’t but apparently it was a great first impression with strong reviews.
Im gonna give it some time before going in.
Yeah I'll subscribe and binge at the end of the season. Has to be better than the last season.
I guess the question is where does he dump the bodies now that he doesn't have the middle of the Atlantic
i thought the first episode of the new season was pretty boring...
Thought the first episode was great, felt a lot more like the first 4 seasons than the last 4 seasons.
The ending….again.
I actually enjoyed the first 9 episodes. Really solid but these writers shouldn’t be allowed to end TV Shows because they just don’t seem to have it.
Would have to agree with this tbh
Yeah, the ending was so disjointed. Should have ended with the main climax being a showdown between the son, Dex and the main bad guy...then do the sacrifice thing.
In fairness most shows up the ending. Breaking Bad one of the only ones I can think of off the top of my head that had a truly satisfying ending.
