Wtf went wrong with Dexter?

Wtf went wrong with Dexter?

It started so good...

at least it wasn't the books

also most shows tend to peter out after the first few seasons

you can only stretch a premise so far

It didn't start off well. It's a bad premise for anything lasting more than six episodes.

They replaced all the writers with women in seasons 5+ and hall/carpenter's relationship IRL fucked what they could do.

They started writing it to appeal to the retarded women who watched the show only because "omg Dexter is so sexy I want to be his dark fuck passenger". The show was at it's best when it was tense and Dexter was under the threat of the police or another killer. It became apparent after Season 5 that he was never going to be caught and an event as traumatizing as Rita's death wouldn't take place again.

>it was Rita, that cunt....... She maked him soft

This show wasn't very good, lousy morals for a start.

It ended at season 4 as far as I care. The rest was just a bad dream.

>socially awkward
>mental problems
>constant inner monologues
>wants to be a hero or be seen as one
>highly competent at what he does
>keeps a trophy/souvenir of the people he targets
>has an imaginary friend in the form of his dead father
>irritating, annoying sister

Anyway how did you like the second season of Mr. Robot? Haven't seen it yet but the first one was pretty neat.

Heres what should have happened.

> Ice Truck Killer survives S1 and becomes Dexters 'white whale' who taunts him throughout the rest of the series.
> Bay Harbor Butcher arc with Doakes as Lundy, who suspects Dex, but then as tension is high, seems its onto him, dexter plans his death, but Doakes apologizes to Dexter and gets killed by someone else who Dex then frames as BHB as 'revenge' for Doakes.
> Now driven by failure to kill ITK, failure to kill / conflict over Doakes' being killed by someone else all swirling around just as...
> Trinity Killer arrives. Arc for batum, end with Rita dead (no kid) and ITK continuing to taunt Dexter over it.
> Dex, Deb and Masuka get called in as special investigators as ITK returns in different part of America, Dex isn't going to let him get away this time.
> Dex kills Brian a la La Guerta with Deb finding out hes a serial killer as the story closes out.
> Last episode is 60 minute incest porno where deb gives into her now insatiable cocklust for her 'brother'
> While Masuka watches.

There i just made Dexter a 10/10.

really made me think

Also have the actor who played ITK be his Dark Passenger. That guy was literally the best thing about the show, i'll never not be mad that he died so early.

Hannah Mckay happened.

Dexter should of told her he killed Brian. It would of made season 8 more interesting.
Just so Deb can recover. The Brian card wasn't used.

Just be glad it didn't follow the books very closely.

hehehehehehehehe.

It'll be a horror/science fiction type thing.

No Robo-Doakes.

Fuck happened in the books?

The author started writing about his schizophrenic delusions

Doakes was the perfect foil for dexter. It was ok for the couple seasons after he died but 1 and 2 were just too good

...

Others have already said but the show played it's cards too early.

What the fuck is the point of a detective thriller when you kill the detective (Doakes) off within the first quarter of the show? And it used the best villains too early too.

Literally go watch the show in reverse order, where it starts off with him alone (still have to ignore the ending but everyone already does that) and through his magical adventures of killing he ends up with the perfect woman that humanizes him and he successfully kills the source of his evil (ice truck killer).

Think about it. The show in reverse order is twice as good as it is regular.
