    The end of the second season was simply ridiculous. It started out relatively reasonable and now it's just gotten out of hand.

    It's the natural progression of things... Nip/Tuck went the same way.

    I haven't seen Season 2 yet. I loved the first one, thought it was really good. I know S1/2 were pretty loyal to the books, I hope the 3rd (if there is on) isn't as it gets all supernatural.

    I thought it was ok. It wasn't that bad I have seen a lot worse and they seemed ot keep it together pretty well.

    The 3rd season just started.

    I keep hearing from family members that this show is awesome. I'm gonna have to find a way to watch them. Sounds like an interesting show.

    One of my favorite shows, he was so close to getting busted in the last episode, it was jaw dropping.

    I don't get showtime, but I saw it on CBS during the Writer's Strike and I really liked it.

    Perhaps I'll obtain the first season because I think it's more gory than CBS allowed.

    Was fucking incredible. Some of the best TV I've seen, the second half of this season.

    Yes I know, I cannot believe what happened. I'm still trying to convince myself that it was a dream , but it probably not. I found this interview with the executive producer of Dexter. (Spoilers) http://ausiellofiles.ew.com/2009/12/...le-postmortem/

    no, it wasn't in your head since other people saw it too, but then again it wasn't real either.

    that's what's called acting and fiction.

    I meant a dream in Dexter's head. Not mine. Sorry for confusion.

    i disagree with this thread

    the end of season 2 was amazing except for the denouement and season three started out so promising but just turned into shit

    The more I think about it, if they make that ending a dream sequence I am going to be livid.

    Because then in order to justify it, there will have to be a Dexter nightmare mechanic all season that he'll finally overcome by confronting some anonymous past demon. And just to keep around Rita? She got annoying anyways. Send her to Dexter's subconscious or kill her off altogether.

    dexter's subconcious is busy enough with harry, and i'm mildly annoyed at how angsty he gets over it. While I don't want the last sequence to be a dream sequence, i'm pretty annoyed that it worked out that way. Dexter isn't supposed to have everything work out for him smoothly at the end, although he makes the best of a shitty situation. I mean in season 1 he had to

    , and even though the show basically got set back like a sitcom to the routine for the beginning of season three, it was still a messy climax that was pulled off well.

    season three ending was dexter overpowered, incapable of being restrained or prevented from doing whatever he wants to do, with no morally dubious acts to blur the line between (super)hero or serial killer, which is what interested me in the show in the first place. and then he

    which, while we should have seen it coming, was just too much saccharine television for my taste and completely killed off my desire to watch season 4.

    The family dynamic and the question of whether dexter was doing more harm than good for his family was a good theme of season 4, to be honest, though I did get annoyed at times when it felt like Dexter was making things harder on himself by not simply tending to his family obligations first.

    this scene
    in the finale was a perfect example that really broke believability. I get that he was coming unwound, but anyone would have noticed the maniac swerving in and out of traffic behind him.

    Yea season three was the worst one yet. But I highly recommend season four, probably the best season yet. I would say it's probably the best show on TV now.

    Please tell me that's a joke. Season 4 is the worst season by a mile.

    Shitty ending? Lol. That ending was phenomenal. I was on the edge of my seat the entire season 4. I'm excited to see how the writers will pull off next season.

    Agreed.
    John Lithgow was amaznig in series 4, and I did not at all see that ending coming.

    When it happened it truly was one of those "Wait, what" moments. I thought it might have been a dream, or something...but no.
    It was real.
