They pulled a game of thrones on us. They really pounded this franchise into submission, into a deep irreversibly badly written coma. It ruined Dexter for me.
They mention Batista is returning in the morning. And Batista and dexter never meet again lol. That would have been more dramatic, emotional, and meaningful than literally anything with Harrison
I think the idea that Angel was involved in Angela's investigation was what triggered Dexter to escape. Had Angel not been involved, Dexter would have been able to easily beat the charges.
@@bruceleeroy8302 Dexter would beat Batista too. All Batista had were suspicions and LaGuerta's evidences, in that folder. And these evidences were all circumstantial or we wouldn't have S8 and S9.
Definitely should have been 12 episodes. It would have been amazing to see Batista and dexter again. That’s the bare minimum, let’s face it. All fans want Quinn, Musuka, finding out too. But I would have personally been satisfied with Batista and dexter interacting In the final bit. Would have had much more of a climax, dexter admitting to everything, Batista feeling like an idiot that the BHB was under his nose helping ect. Oh well
Seems completely rushed. They easily could have stretched that season out into 3. 1 season for Kurt, 2nd for the billionaire character that was written out and 3rd for dexter manhunt. Could have expanded on the relationship development between dexter and his son and could have developed Harrison's character to the point where we like him as much as dexter. Also what happened with the sinister seeming billionaire character at the start. Last we saw he drove up behind the chiefs daughter and than vanished from the show.
That's what I was expecting from it, I was not expecting them to actually end it there. It was rushed and ruined. The director went against his own rules.
I’m guessing COVID probably inhibited them from making more. It’s been like that with other recent shows. That or the billionaire was a diversion, to make you think he was the bad guy of the season.
@@4TheRecord Like, they did say this was a 1 season thing from the start don't get me wrong the ending isn't good but you people shouldn't of expected Dexter to live.
@@STGPancake69 could have kept the same ending for him. Just needed to develop characters far enough where they can lead a show. 1 rushed season and a quick death for dexter is not what we were looking for. if the billionaire character was written in as if he was part of a group with Kurt that kills people and help each other get away with it and view eachothers work in art galleries like Kurt had. They go after dexter and kill him and get away with it driving Harrison to use the code to take them down.
Seriously it was better. And now because of this ending I know that Dexter from the original run felt the same way because of the letter. Making the series or season unnecessary...
Isn’t that sad? For a miniseries that was working pretty well, even though Dexter was a bit rusty, suddenly in episode 10 Dexter totally breaks character and does very stupid things.
@@ColtonT13 He could've just knocked him out by aplying pressure to his carotid artery. Just like how he has done many times in the past. I hate it when people don't pay attention.
@@ColtonT13 Doing anything to Logan in that scenario that he knows may very well have to end in killing him, is what is out of character. It was dumb as hell.
@@Dilly_Dil1y I don't understand why shows deliberately end so badly. It makes the fans mad and resentful, so that they don't want to watch what they put out next.
there should have been 2 more episodes at least. so many loose ends, plot holes, and inconsistencies in the writing. still enjoyed the show for the most part as michael c hall never disappoints.
Like the fact he was shot by a hi power rifle in the thigh a day or two before and yet was fine during arrest and while running to Harrison at the horrible ending And Batista coming from Florida when he could have faxed or overnighted the file There will have another season. Think they are teasing us
Batista nvr suspected Dexter and argued for him against his wife. But hey, he kept that folder in his desk for a decade. Somehow lowered the bar from their last ending.
He kept the file because LaGuerta was his wife (ex-wife at that point) and he still cared for her and was truly saddened by her death. He saw a glimpse of who Dexter really is in the final episode when Dexter killed the brain surgeon in front on camera, but at that point Angel was too grief stricken over Deb to see what was right in front of him. After almost a decade of time to process everything he probably came to the conclusion that he would never know the truth about Dexter, Doakes, or Laguerta. Batista had probably also connected some dots on Dexter's history (who his brother was, what their origin was etc.). Once he saw that Dexter was still alive everything clicked into place for him.
Season 8 was weak. New Blood was great....until we hit that finale that was so bad, it made the S8 finale look like a masterpiece by comparison. All those teased resolutions with no payoff only to have the most unimaginative ending come to pass. RIP Dexter. No Harrison spin offs please. Clyde Philips has broken the fandom's heart for the last time.
The whole Angela figured out Dexter was the BHB in about 10 minutes was absurd. Evil Knievel couldn’t have made that leap. Not to mention it was impossible for Harrison to remember anything about Rita.
She lived in the same little town for 20 years with a serial killer bold enough to take his victims into his truck stop and tell the waitress behind the counter to give them job applications only for them to never to be heard from again or any of them actually accept the job. Angela kept track of every one of them and not one ever showed up in a new town but she never thought to question Kirk about any girls hanging around his truck stop.
@@funkyfranx It’s not inherently a bad thing. The fact he’s a bad dude makes for great drama, and obviously he’s still a charming character. The entire original run of dexter was him getting away with things over and over. This reboot finally asked the question of what would happen if someone finally puts the pieces together and exposes Dexter for what he is. The season really built up the idea of him being a super hero but in the last episode he proves that ‘only hurting people that deserve it’ is bullshit because he killed Logan (a compete saint) to save his own skin. Finally at the end he’s faced with all the horrible things he’s done and caused and for once, can’t even justify it to himself. He selfishly pushes Harrison to shoot him because he realizes he won’t be able to outrun the shitstorm that’s coming for him, and in his own twisted way he thinks that having his son kill him will free him of Dexter’s burden.
@@GrabTheSwitchMike Dexter is a hero and he's not "pure evil". He did not intended to kill Logan but Logan was evil because he did not listen and he tried to kill him instead of giving him the keys so Dexter chocked him on self defense . If Logan would have gave him those keys nothing bad would have happened to him ....
Him dieing was always going to be the ending. I like that it was Harrison that did it too. Dexter took lifes and the person he gave life to took his ..
I don't see why Dexter escaped jail?? Angela didn't have a leg to stand on and it looked like he just had Logan in a sleeper hold, so how did he "kill" him? And it seemed like Harrison wanted to stay that seemed part of the reason he did what he did and Angela sends him on his way anyway lol
He had him in a sleeper hold but once he started shooting, Dexter broke his neck. It would be far harder for Angela to ignore the truth if Harrison stayed.
So much here. Dexter killed Logan because Angela told him Batista is coming. We are to assume Dexter didn’t want to face Batista so he had no choice but to break character and kill an innocent cop.🙄 So super trooper Angela after some googling and standing in the burned cabin and the titanium screw talks to her so she can just stand there, walk right to it and pick it up with no digging 🙄 is APPALLED Dexter killed someone. But then literally has a confession AT THE SCENE of someone killing someone, let’s Harrison go 🙄. Who by the way, did more flips than a gymnast. I hate dad I live dad I don’t want anything to do with you LETS KILL TOGETHER, I have dark tendencies I don’t have dark tendencies cool we killed a guy OMG yiu killed a guy IM NOT A KILLER but imma gonna go ahead and kill you. 🙄 With the gun everyone knew he’d kill him with 🙄. Spectacular writing!
@@CharlieDexter99 no he told Harrison that if he'd get caught he'd get the death penalty that's why he escaped. He wanted to see him but dexter made the mistake of killing the coach and we'll Harrison was following the code. While also ending his dad's passenger and ending where his problems started
Dexter as a criminal and "hero" deserves a much better ending. For all viewers who really enjoyed Dexter's series, this is Clyde's middle finger right on our faces. I am as disappointed as the others ...
I don't even understand why they bothered making this, even the title "New Blood" makes no sense in the end since I think everyone was expecting the son to lead on to a new show of his own. Also, they rushed it so much when I was expecting at least one more season to clear up all the loose ends. What a wasteful shame making this and ruining Dexter.
@@jtclarks Really? His world was crashing down the moment Angel Batista got involved he knew eventually it would be all over he would either serve the rest of his days in prison or be given the death penalty which would seem more likely He gave that officer a chance to not be the hero but he tried and thus got his neck snapped Dexter turned into the people he hunted for years and ironically it was love that did it
Harrison cried because he didn’t know the truth, then when he truly finds answers. The weasel still continues to dwell in his pity party and mope around. As soon as I thought the story was going to go in a different direction. Things took a hard left, due to mopey ole Harrison 🤦🏾♂️
I think the backlash is for three very specific reasons: 1st. The whole point was missed about the last bad ending, again they missed the mark with no climax. 2nd. The Debbie problem is just revised to be the sheriff problem. Again a whole season building up a character that might actually understand why Dexter is necessary, having first hand knowledge of how the justice system fails. Only to be repulsed and completely lose her accumulated character development and ultimately her position as the audience's perspective. 3rd. We like the show for two reasons, morbid fascination and vicarious investment. essentially we want to see Dexter get away with it or we want to see Dexter be finally caught and ultimately vindicated in a vast amount of people's eyes even if that be from prison.
I wanted him to continue to get away with it. Can’t explain it, don’t know why, but I loved his character and up until new blood I didn’t think he was truly a bad person I thought he had it under some kind of control
@@susanbishop5349 New Blood at the last second implies that Dexter cares little about how many people he inadvertently saves and only murders to satiate his dark passenger, while at the same time implying Harrison's darkness was just regular anger Dexter hoped was the same as his. My problem with that was that Dexter (the series) spent it's whole run solidifying Dexter does feel and part of his murderous ritual is to make sure his targets see and accept what they have done to their victims. New blood spent it's whole runtime establishing that Harrison was the exact same... only in the last five minutes to completely reverse that (and alot of things like the sheriff) and waste the potential for the better story they were clearly heading towards. I wanted to see Dexter be finally caught and plead his case to a world that would understand (like the audience), morally vindicate his choices and ultimately see him in prison surrounded by those who fit the code. Then I wanted to see Harrison and his shaving-knife and his grandfathers code, continue Dexter's work but recontextualized as vigilantism for what happened to his mother rather than impulse to quell his own dark urges, or maybe like his father a balance of both
@@lampad4549 by that same token it doesn't mean it was good either. I'm glad you might of found it satisfying but as someone who put a lot of time into the shows I am severely disappointed that I gave it another chance as I fell for the show-runners pretending they got what was the problem last time and the new series is a better ending to fix that ... only to repeat the same mistake.
I wish I had known it was going to be only 10 episodes. I was so unprepared for the ending. What's the point of only making one season. I am more than disappointed.
It feels like the most important moments of the finale were the most rushed and illogically written of the whole season which on the whole for me was a top 5 Dexter season. I don't know what the writers were thinking.
His son has even a darker passenger! He didn't hesitate a seconde to kill his own dad, none he expressed any rumors after. He just moved on with his life, doing what he knows best: move to a new place. People like Harrison scare me more than Dexter
Надоело выслушивать, насколько хороша "Новая кровь", поэтому напоминаю её "дары": 1. Раньше Декстер хранил мазки крови - пресловутые трофеи, но здесь Декстер решил поумнеть, и теперь он хранит прямые улики чуть ли не под подушкой. 2. Декстер временно лишается осязания и зрения, когда избавляется от Мэтта Колдвелла. Больше никак не объяснить титановые штифты в ноге Мэтта, прошедшие мимо Моргана незамеченными. Во-первых, на ноге после операции остался шрам, который в сериале сделали даже чересчур заметным. Во-вторых, само наличие этих штифтов говорит о том, что были раздроблены кости, в первую очередь должно было раздробить колено. После такого нога плохо гнётся. И уж когда Декстер «обрабатывал» Мэтта, штифты должен был обнаружить. В-третьих, их должно быть чисто визуально видно по небольшим бугоркам на коже, и на ощупь они легко обнаруживаются. 3. Декстер сначала не знает, куда деть останки Мэтта, потом не может, после - думает оставить их в пещере за тридевять земель, а только потом вспоминает об общедоступной бесплатной мусоросжигательной печи со свободным доступом, которая кстати есть в Айрон Лейке. 4. Курт объясняет, что правду о вине Декстера ему подсказал пепел. Декстер просто закинул мешки в печь. Как на Декстере оказалось такое количество пепла, которое можно «принять за снег и стряхнуть»? Почему тот факт, что Декстер сжигает мусор, должен был насторожить Курта настолько, что он полез копаться в пепле? 5. Анджела забывает про дело всей жизни из-за беспричинных подозрений. Декстер - судмедэксперт в прошлом - следит за Молли и Куртом, несколько дней спустя Курт подсел в своей забегаловке к отцу Гаррисона, работающего у Курта, и это всё, из-за чего Анджела переключилась с Курта - главного подозреваемого в убийстве её лучшей подруги - на Декстера, своего уже не молодого человека, который пусть и лгал ей о прошлом, но в остальном не давал ни одного реального повода в себе усомниться. 6. Сам факт, что Анджела удовлетворилась объяснением Курта, крайне удивителен. Пропала лучшая подруга Анджелы, и она начала своё расследование. В городе 25 лет пропадают девушки, и она явно связывает эти два факта, поскольку личная травма позволила ей заметить происходящее. Тест на повреждённом образце ДНК даёт совпадение порядка 60% (это однозначно толкает чашу весов в сторону Курта), отец Курта давно мёртв, есть новые исчезновения, но Анджеле стало всё равно. 7. Бессмысленное убийство Логана. 8. Гаррисон находит отца по случайному фото в интернете. Он мог найти его по информации в письме к Ханне, найденном после её смерти, например, но путь Гаррисона к Декстеру надо было сделать большим и извилистым, чтобы гнев Гаррисона к отцу стал осязаемей, оттого простые решения не работают и в ход идут глупые. Насколько я помню, Ханна уезжала не только с Гаррисоном, но и с кучей денег. У них был свой дом и хозяйство в чужой стране, а Гаррисон с её смертью стал босяком. Как? 9. Анджела годами ведёт «расследование» в городке, хорошо ей знакомом, с несколькими тысячами жителей. Курт 25 лет похищает и убивает женщин, зачастую, в открытую беседует с ними у всех на виду перед их исчезновением. При желании, Анджела могла изучить каждого жителя Айрон Лейка. Кто-то однозначно видел пропавших с Куртом. Если вспомнить, насколько открыто действовал Курт и масштабно, вероятен даже и такой сценарий, когда Анджела видит, как Курт кого-то увозит. А другое, гораздо более крупное дело она раскрывает за пару дней… 10. В городке с населением ~3000, где Морган жил несколько лет, Декстер уже давно должен был сам вычислить Курта, наказать или погибнуть в схватке, почему мы вообще видели то, что видели?
No thank u, after this ending... i just can't watch something like that, also because Harrison was not a good character, u felt no connection too him, like u did with dexter.
Dexter did not kill Logan in cold blood. Dexter tried to use Logan to escape. The goal was clearly to knock him out and take the key or force Logan to hand over the key. Logan literally put a gun two inches away from Dexter's head and pulled the trigger. Once someone tries to shoot you in the head it's not cold blooded murder. It's kill or be killed. This wasn't the first time Dexter killed someone who didn't fit the code. Remember episode 11 of season 5 when he killed the guy in the van that Quin hired to investigate Dexter. Dexter was trying to escape and the the guy attacked Dexter with a knife. At that point much like with Logan it became kill or be killed. NOT a cold blooded murder
I hated Ángela being so hostile towards HER BOYFRIEND Dexter. The way she arrested him without any compassion and the interrogation with no emotions or heartbreak but rather obsession with getting him the death penalty of all things. All her insecurities about being a terrible cop and trying to compensate thru catching dexter really showed. When cops are forced to arrest family and friends they are truly heartbroken and don’t wish for death penalty’s like Angela was with such arrogance. And I can just imagine her taking all the credit when the news media and FBI find all those bodies just like she probably took credit for dexter when she needed a podcast to give her leads 🤨😂. Scr3w her!!
You haven’t been paying much attention to what’s goin gin today if you think Hollywood is going to let a woman be vulnerable and weak. Can defy all logic just to make sure she’s a badass no matter what. The whole series was full of woke BS innuendoes. For example, Audreys car breaks down. Rich oil guy stops and offers to HELP her. Of course Audreys got to be snarky. Then when Harrison asked what he said she reply’s “just being a typical billionaire”…FOR OFFERING HELP? Pfffft
Harrison annoyed me throughout the series. I understand Dexter killed Logan which was a terribly bad decision. But Harrison so easily killed his own father. I realized that only Deb truly loved Dexter.
Refers to Angela as dexter/Jim's "former girlfriend." New Blood did not clearly show their breakup though when Angela at one point whether she was breakin' up she answered that trust is important but that he has been lying to her since their start.
I liked aspects of the finale. I liked the symmetry of Harrison being the one to kill Dexter. I think Dexter killing Logan was completely out of character for him; but in saying that, Dexter was like a caged animal and would do just about anything to not get caught, after all rule number one is don't get caught. I really wished that Angel and Dexter could have had their moment to meet again after so long, I feel like that moment would have been so exciting, especially since all the new evidence that Angie had on him. Seeing Doakes exonerated would have been good too. Ultimately having Dexter killed by lethal injection would have been the absolute best ending, they only really needed one more episode to have finished it properly.
I really liked the season 8 finale, I never understood the all the hate it got. It ended with Dexter alone and miserable, everyone important to him gone. Now, a decade later, his impulses, under control for so long, just were too much for him, and he started killing again, out of revenge and hurrying, even with passion, or at least emotions for the first time, which led to mistakes and his capture. Then he died by the code, very fitting as well. I think everyone is upset about this ending because they really enjoyed this final season and wanted more, also because Dexter was happy, but I think this is the only way it could have ended.
Angela couldn't find out, in 25 YEARS, what happened to dozens of girls that disappeared right after being seen in her tiny town, and never realized one of her neighbours was a serial killer, but she found out who Dexter really was after a Google research and after meeting a Miami cop who said he had a former colleague that died years ago whose son was called Harrison. What a bullshit to destroy what was being an amazing season until the last episode.
Maybe because she didn't sleep with Kurt ?. I mean Dexter never had feelings like that other than to kill. So he never noticed her acting weird and was to busy dealing with Harrison and figuring out if he's like him or not.
@@fusion4015 I understand Dexter was unable to see that there was something going on in Angela. But thinking of her as a cop, it's impossible to me to justify how she finds out the truth about Dex when she was unable to realize what was going on in Iron Lake for 25 years. Angela didn't suspect about Dexter because she was sleeping with him and saw weird stuff (Dexter leaving at night, spending lots of time 'working on projects', etc etc); the beginning of her investigation (and her 'proofs') come out from nowhere.
@@fusion4015 Sure... "my boyfriend had a son he never told me about and, although I neither told him I did not give birth to my daughter, I'll start investigating him. He might be a serial killer or something". LOL.
They remedied having the most hated ending ever for the original Dexter by making an even more hated ending for New Blood. They would be better off having a UFO come down and resurrect Dexter than to have him continue only as Harrison's hallucination in future episodes. If the problem is that Michael Hall doesn't want to continue in the role, offer him more money and perks. If that doesn't work, there is always blackmail.
My #1 complaint was that Batista's part was pointless. He had no reason to be there. Here's how I think it should have ended: Dexter should have gone to prison. Angela should have taken Harrison in. Dexter could then do the Hannibal Lecter thing for a while, helping solve other serial killer cases from behind bars. He could then keep in contact with Harrison, mentoring him as the next "butcher".
That last episode was terrible, not just because they killed Dexter but because the whole thing was a bit messy and not in a good way. Don’t get me started on Harrison.
the turn around of harrison seemed too rush imo one momnet he was ready to ride off into the sunset with his dad,and lliterally one minute later he is fully ok with killing his dad... just seems too rushed and not reasonable. stil love dexter though
I can't believe they gave him the Han Solo ending!! What a waste!! And Angela is the detective of the century!And can't figure out who is responsible for her wall of missing girls!!
I just finished up watching it, and the fact people are calling it "worse than the original series' ending" completely flummoxes me. It's a significant improvement, and I think that it is a great ending to the series as a whole. That is, of course, assuming that they do not try and continue it with Harrison. If they do, things will go south pretty much immediately, because Harrison doesn't have much of a personality beyond "Angsty Teen".
He used a different chemical in Miami to knock people out than he did in the new show. The officer never read him his miranda rights, so he would have been set free if he opted for a lawyer. His actions in the last episode were completely out of character in general as were Angela's. His son is now a murderer on the run, he and Angela would end up in prison for his murder and her cover up. Batista is a loose end, as well as, his son seeing him in the forest before the white deer was shot. So much wrong with the last episode 0/10.
This is not an improvement over the original series at all. The original was a high budget production series shot in part on location in Miami with big name guest stars. New Blood was shot on a sound stage and at various places in rural Massachusetts. I understand about Covid and shooting TV series, but this seemed really low-budget and rushed.
I think they rushed the realisation that Harrison had , it came too quick from him having his breakthrough with his father definitely could've had it going another season , and Harrison delving into Dexter's past to realise
Liked this new season till the finale but do have a few complaints outside of the finale. What happened to that billionaire guy? Why did they retcon M99 for ketamine? And why hasn’t Harrison’s siblings been mentioned?
I had a question about the rich billionaire petroleum guy causing pollution through mining, shown in the first episode! I had thought that he is also an important character… he never showed up again… what was he..? Just a distraction?
"This is not an easy decision....let me die so my son can live" - Dexter, Finale. I do feel as though it's Micheal C Hall telling us that the series is over and there isn't anymore and if we make a new one Harrison would be hell. Respect Dexter's plea atleast
That’s exactly why this series was made. Hall was done being Dexter. Got no issues with that at all. If you read the book series it’s easier to understand. HOWEVER the way it went down was a big FU to the fans. Dexters a cop killer now? A small town regular cop googled and catches Dexter? I could go on. And on. They can make a ending suitable but that are clueless on how to get to it
@@CharlieDexter99 I do agree on the part that he killed the cop guy cold blood. I mean it was a bit outta character for him considering in some previous seasons he actually was waiting to get arrested. But here is the thing about it. Do you want more seasons of post Reta seasons? If they keep beating this dead horse it'll go the way of Walking Dead which that series literally is a big FU. Atleast this one they get to send him off on his own terms.
The characters all felt out of sync even Harrison. Angela was pretty much a replica of Debra and didn't have anything new to contribute besides being the chief police. I share the same sentiment regarding missed opportunities including an emotional interaction with Batista. One of the parts I wished they did was having everyone significant appear like Debra did before he died at the very least especially with Harry, Rita, and Doakes. One last "Surprise mother******" would've been cool to see. If not another season a few more episodes would've suffice.
@@thomasblackcraft Yea I also try to remember that we can't be greedy I read online that MCH said yes to only this version of the script....so it's possible he didn't want to come back unless it was truly to end Dexter etc. So we have to factor this in too etc. It's possible Showtime wanted to continue dexter esp in the age of streaming but MCH may not have wanted to.
The End truly "justifies the means". For the best part he was in control throughout the entire series beginning to the end. Dexter Morgan controlled the lives & deaths of so many it is only fitting he had control of his own. I shed a tear. Long live Harrison, With His dad Dexter as his conscience. I for one loved Dexter But I think It should be buried with Dexter & the dignity it deserves. RIP Dexter.
Almost everyone love the Dexter character so this means he's not a serial killer but some kind of cool dark vigilante . Also according to the previous seasons the feeling was that Dexter will never dye . I mean it was entertainment and not drama . Now on the last episodes they started to change the mood of the show in other direction like someone loves crime entertainment and now they are forcing ridiculous drama down to their throats . This was not even drama it was pure horror but in a non graphical way .
Well I finally got around to seeing the new series. I thought the ending to Dexter was poorly executed but after seeing the ending of New Blood, it makes the ending to the original series look downright ingenious. Not sure what Michael C. Hall was thinking but it almost appeared that they ran out of money and needed to rush to a quick ending. It's sad because the series started off so strongly and it easily could have ended with the killing of Kurt. Michael are you listening?? What the heck did you do here?? Killing off Dexter is like seeing James Bond getting killed off in "No Time To Die". You just don't do it! You did NOT have to do it. As a fan I feel like you just took a dump on your fan base. Do us all a favor, you can correct this by making it a dream sequence and doing another season. Think Dallas and Bobby Ewing and you will get my drift. SO pissed off right now. BTW, spent 30 years in the Television business, saw a lot of series screw ups but this one takes the cake!
The writers should have turned Dexter into an ''Equalizer'' type character. That would have been something worth watching for a few seasons. The Harrison character was very unlikable and unnecessary.
I thought the mysterious rich man would swoop in and adopt Dexter and Harrison then next season would be Dexter plotting to get out from under his thumb. I don’t like that they killed him off. I don’t care about Harrison to follow him if there’s a second season.
So this show was just a proper ending for us old fans (for some) and the start of Harrison's story? It's clear the focus was on his son and now a new show is more than likely going to come out following Harrison Either way i was sad the way it ended and if i knew Dexter was going to die i would have liked at least another season with him in it especially after Angel Batista was on his way that was another route i wanted to see In my opinion this could have been something way bigger and better but they messed it up and now i can't help but wish this new show didn't exist
I actually thought this was a good ending for Dexter. Sure they could've been on the run or Dexter could've ended up in Death Row but I believe it's fitting that he dies and Harrison is the one that kills him.
The ending was bad. Dexter up until Logan never really killed anyone innocent by his own hands. All of the innocent people either died because of his indirect actions or were killed by someone else to get back at him. At one point he was even contemplating turning himself to keep Doakes alive. The series up until Logan's death always toiled with the idea that Dexter may not be a sociopath, but a schizophrenic and as such was capable of emotions, that Harry twisted for his own game. In essence Harry possibly took a mental damage kid and turned him into a serial killer Also it was M99 that was used in the original series, not Ketamine. So the whole searching of Ketamine to figure out Dexter's link to the Bay Harbor Butcher was a big plot hole. And Kirk got off of a charge because of a story about his father, even though they had DNA on Kirk. Meanwhile the best they had on Dexter was assumptions and a BS letter from an unknown person
Dexter had killed innocent people before though. The phographer, the guy in the bathroom, and he was about to kill LaGuerta. I agree the M99 vs Ketamine thing bothers me and is just lazy writing.
@@ammo7204 The creepy photographer whose assistant was the actual killer. It was the guy he killed when he snuck away from the little sailors thing he took Cody on.
The whole season was bad, before we were judging an unfinished product, but now looking back, none of the plots went anywhere, Dexter never got exposed, he didn't even face his crimes because he's dead, we never got a reaction from anyone important, would have been cool to see the old cast in some way, but nope. Too many plot holes and inconsistencies... these dudes didn't make a better ending, they just butchered it more. In fact, the last episode is the lowest rated episode in Dexter history (4.4 on IMDb).
Dexter loved Harry, Volgo, Deb, Rita, Cody, Aster, Lumen maybe, Hannah, Young Harrison, and let’s forget his emotional breakdown over killing his brother, Brian Moser. Dexter felt love before. I’m not so naive that I expected a perfect ending, but I don’t like contradictions.
I liked the ending of season 8 after rewatching it last week, I feel like it wrapped up everything for Dexter, he was alone with no friends or family due to his own actions. The ending of season 9 had to have Dexter die, because they allowed him to live at the end of season 8. There wont be a reboot with Dexter alive, Clyde Phillips has already said that Dexter is dead and it wouldnt do that to the fans. However he did say that if SHowtime wanted to continue the series some other way, he would drop everything and do it. I think season 9 ended the way it should have, Harrison had to be the one to either kill Dexter or turn him in, just based on the titel of the episode, Sins of the Father, it let me know that he would be responsible for his downfall. I do not think that Harrision has a dark passenger, I think that he was just full of anger about what his dad leaving him, and he was willing to go along with him killing people for justice, until Dexter killed Logan. Which by the way, his killing Dexter met the first rule of the code, which was dont get caught. All in all I liked the reboot, and if they do a spin off I will be watching
A Harrison spin off is likely, but they must involve his half brother/sister Cody and Astor. A family trio out to rid the world of evil. Each bad guy taken down as a tribute to their slain mother. Just a thought.
Not saying they should be Dexter could very easily return as Harrison's dark passenger or 'conscience', just as Harry and then later Debra were to Dexter. I like this season and thought the ending was quite fitting.
Funny thing with Harrison yelling "Open your eyes and look at what you've done!" it's almost verbatim what Dexter said to his first on-screen victim way back in season 1 of Dexter. There's also a scene in the last episode where Harrison is being questioned about getting to town, and they show him remembering seeing Dexter out in the woods walking up to the white deer, meaning he had been in the area before he let on, even to dexter. I question the innocence of laguerta given some of her past. After season 1, the show departed from the books, so they had to change her character from being as much of a self-absorbed know-nothing who ignored clear evidence of wrongdoing because it didn't fit her already absurd ideas. And of course, doakes was also a murderer so, that was fair. Given how popular Dexter is, and how highly rated it is right now with this new season, It's more likely than not to get something new. Maybe a chance for Harrison to do better than Dexter and become a better version, a smarter version even. I just hope if they do, it's better than what was tried with India Jones and Die Hard. Though that was them trying to pass the torch from Action Heroes types to certifiable nerds, with Dexter it's not a stretch for Harrison to take the reins
How do you mess up a ending twice ?! Way to go writers of Dexter all I wanted was Dexter and Angel to have there moment and we don't even get that. What happen to Molly Park? How did Curt get to her? I have more questions then I have answers
I rewatched the last episodes of New Blood hoping for news if his son will become a killer or not and then i checked and found out a Season 2 of New Blood is in the works centered around the son giving in to his dark passenger and making a code of his own
Honestly I was satisfied with the ending Especially in comparison to how it ended initially a few years ago Although I would’ve loved to see a scene where Batista sees Dexters body after Harrison left I’m not gonna drive that as a huge negative This series had to end with him dying and I’m pretty sure Michael C Hall and the original producer have said in interviews in the past that they wanted Dexter to die
I'd like to have the same opinion towards it. Sadly I am disappointed. An actual interrogation process with Angel and the Angela would have been a much better choice imo... Furthermore the killing of the deputy doesn't suit Dexter at all...it doesn't add up. All of the ending feels strange and rushed.
@@Nairam10 The first rule of the code is to not get caught why do people think Dexter is some superhero lmao. The final episode is still trash but Dexter killing Logan still fits his character.
I don't hate the idea of Dexter dieing, just didn't make sense that Harrison would kill him. Just 2 weeks ago he finally reunited with him. 2 days ago he was hugging him as if he had finally felt that connection he so desperately wanted with his dad. So doing a complete 180 and shooting him after Logan was killed just didn't make sense. Sure, Logan was a good guy, but c'mon. Harrison only knew him for 2 weeks 🙄. They needed another season in order to make this ending of Dexter dieing more believable. Having a manhunt for Dexter with Batista involved would've been great! They also needed more definitive proof of Dexter being the bay harbor butcher. They really needed to tie up that loose end. This all just seemed rushed.
