    Lundy was the best character in the whole series

    Every scene, literally, every scene of him is elevated because of Lundy. His presence on the show was instantly felt and I loved how they brought him back for season 4, just wish we saw more of him.

    The only other character who I felt was close was Isaak Sirko. Every scene with him involved felt special too.

    Really disappointed in character names on the show…

    When I was growing up I saw all the billboards and ads for Dexter, all centered around the title of the show and main characters name, Dexter. It’s a cool name and invokes some badass-ness.

    Then I find out he’s the only one named Dexter. Wtf?

    Ofc they name his sister “Deb” and his main rival “Doakes” like they’re toying with us. How hard would it have been to call her Debster at least? And Doakester just fits.

    Totally ruined the show for me.

    New to the code!

    After endless mindless scrolling through Netflix I landed on Dex. It was also recommended to me by a mate who watched it first time round. I can say that I’m invested. Just finished season 3. Absolutely loving it and his inner struggle. I really thought the Miguel storyline was going to span over a few seasons. But the writers certainly keep everything fresh. In the age of streaming it’s good to pick up on some traditional network episode counts too!

    Love it!

    What did Dexter do?

    I knew he probably blotched the blood work... But does that mean Quinn knew what he actually done?

    Jennifer Carpenter

    I freaking love Deb. She's awesome and One of my favorite characters in the show. JC did a great job. I wanted to watch more with her. I am almost done with Limitless which is freaking awesome. What are some other shows or movies or hers that are top choice? Joey was also in Limitless which made me wonder if they are really good friends or maybe got intimate together. I don't really care, but they seem to have a big connection. Maybe after MCH?

    Why is LaGuerta the only one who cares about James?

    So, I just finished Season 2 for the first time and I have to say, there's one thing that really bothers me.

    !The way the whole station reacts to Doakes being "revealed" as the Butcher and his death later on just feels incredibly weird. The only two characters who have a realistic reaction to these events are Maria and Dexter. It's like everyone else forgot that he existed or that they knew him. Angel, who worked with him for years looks disapponted and that's about it, Deb acts like she didn't just get to know the guy's family one season ago and Masuka seems almost happy that he's gone, like he was just the worst guy ever.!<

    !It feels like they put a lot of work into Doakes and his relationships for Season 1, but for some reason decided to just get rid of him like he never even existed. What's really heartbreaking is seeing his friends and colleagues give up on him so easily. Sure, he wasn't the nicest guy ever and definitely wasn't that close to most of his coworkers, but he wasn't a bad guy either.!<

    Am I missing something?

    I really liked the idea that every season had its own antagonist

    Dexter out of many other reason that its great, is great because every season had its own antagonist , for me it kept fresh and not repetetive , like for instance the walking dead where iam at season 8 and its kinda getting anoying the negan story arc and the war with the saviors it brags just for so long , but i kinda hope that if dexter original sin will have more seasons o hope it has the same feature of each season having a diferent serial killer as a antagonist

    Patrick Gibson will be a fine Dexter.

    Been watching the news on Original Sin and how he doesn’t look like Dexter in his younger years.

    Least Favorite Dexter Season?

    I’m referring to the original show, leave out New Blood.

    For me it’s season 3. Nothing against Jimmy Smits but I always skip that entire season when I rewatch, just not a fan of the Miguel Prado character as Dexter’s partner in crime.

    Lumen on the other hand ♥️ I enjoyed that season much more and her partnering with Dex in the name of vengeance.

    Do you skip any seasons when rewatching?

    Do you think the doctors saved the veterinarian who had his tongue cut out by Oliver?

    Last episode Oliver cuts out his tongue as a distraction, do you think he was saved or was he too far gone?

    Miguel nearly takes a drop?

    The scene I’m talking about is when Miguel sees Dexter in the Miami PD car park whilst talking to someone and calls for him.

    You will notice as soon as he takes off to catch Dexter, he nearly overcooks his stride and for a second you can see him go off balance. He goes slightly wider and then gathers his balance again.

    Debra- first time watcher. Season 7e3. Possible spoiler

    This whole fucking time I wanted her to find out about Dexter’s dark passenger . I thought she’d cool or at least understanding of his trauma response. I hate what this has turned her into, she’s all over his case and trying to “change” him. She does this with every man she loves who is broken. She tried to fix them and suppress their behavior instead of figuring out how to cope. She did it with Quinn, the CI, even Rudy/Brian. She’s stressing me out to the point I don’t even want to finish the show.

    Deb and Dexter married in real life

    I just learned Jennifer Carpenter and Michael C Hall dated and were married in real life for almost three years, which just really makes the incest storyline even worse 💀

    I’m still working my way through my first watch through of the show but interested to know what other “fun facts” you’ve learned about the actors or the show over the years (feel free to drop spoilers - I’ve already read through summaries of the remaining seasons).

    I watched s4 finale on 2009 and never revisited. Was it foreshadowed?

    Question, I was always too eager and too anxious. And I didn’t always pay attention to details. Was Rita’s fate foreshadowed somehow? Or it just caught completely out of guard?

    I remember really loving it cause I was truly shucked.

    Scene where we hear Dexter's background

    Where is the scene where we hear Dexter's background? It happens very early on. We hear something about school, maybe jujitsu. About how smart he was. This might be the bit that contains ".... threw it all away for blood spatter". But I think that might be a separate bit around the time in the show.

    I think it was either Doaks saying it or a Dexter voice over. Could someone please indicate the episode and ideally where? Thank you for any help

    Dexter himself is astounded by Miami PD’s incompetence on the very first episode guys (at the 16:39 mark)
