Not a mod, just made this post because somebody had to. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Omg, wow. I’m just in awe. The aaron Spencer (Patrick Dempsey) acting during the swat raid was incredible. The unmasking of the child killer. The whole story line with fucking Brian moser being revealed as the other killer.

The suspicion on why Aaron Spencer is doing this

And that ending zooming into child dexters eyes.

Not even kidding that is top 10 greatest dexter episodes in the entire series.

Holy schnikes, Miguel Prada has entered the building (or exiting LaGuerta’s)! That was a great cameo, I was hyped to see him even for a second

VERY IMPORTANT SPOILERS TO DEXTER ORIGINAL SIN BELOW ⚠️

This episode, Business and Pleasure, is a Top 5 Dexter episode ever.

So much is revealed. So many callbacks. And yet there’s still so much mystery surrounding some stuff. The perfect balance.

The NHI Killer’s identity being revealed to Harry as Brian Moser????????? Aaron Spencer methodically planning the SWAT raid so those people won’t be alive to potentially get in his way????? THE MOMENT WHERE LAURA, DEXTER, & BRIAN ARE TAKEN BY ESTRADA & HIS MEN TO THE SHIPPING YARD?????? My god.

This show is really stepping things up. I thought the first few episodes were pretty damn good, but Episode 7 and of course Episode 8 have seriously started to heat shit up. I’m so excited for these last two episodes to drop.

Holy shit that was Brian moser who Dexter saw at the restaurant officially and the reveal of him being the NHI killer. That was fucking done fantastically and I need a show on him ASAP.

BOOOOOOO WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT

bro fuck whoever wrote this ending and their mother. What kinda of trash ass ending was that god damn, all that build up to deb being a cop again to just…die…? For the plot??? And what happend to Dexter feeling love? Did we just throw that out the window? I get it death makes people act entirely different but it just comes off as the show doing stuff to purposely shock the audience, I dont know this could be some genius work of cinema on some 4D chess shit but i actually just hate it. Dont tease your audience for 3 episodes straight with a good ending to fuck us up the ass.

Also dexter a total fraud daniel vogal packed that man dexter up

4 to 1 he killed dexter whole squad🤣

P.s. worse ending the Game Of Thrones. Tragic watch.

dexter writers yall make me SICK !!!! NOT MY SISTER !!! IF I CATCH ANY OF YALL YOURE DONE

How am I supposed to believe that dexter carried DDK out of a busy skyscraper, in the middle of Miami proper with a baby. I suspend a lot of disbelief for this show, like security cameras being non existent. But this is just lazy ass writing.

Damn Doakes is gone just like that huh? First time watching the show with little knowledge about it and damn I thought the show would end with Dexter and Doakes having some final throw down I didn’t think he’d be gone like that! 😂💀Good show so far though!

First main question- when did Netflix get rights to showtime?

Really good show i was surprised. they did it right in my opinion the actor who act young dexter was on point dab was good too i don't know if a lot of people watched it but it's really good

Like i genuinely don't understand the hype all that much. I think it was a decent season, but it did not keep me on the edge of my seat or even slightly excited for that matter. It wasn't badly written, but i just couldn't force myself to find it interesting. I enjoyed Dexter the most when Dexter was all about, well, Dexter. The show was absolute perfection in Season 1, and it was really good in Season 2, but after that it kinda went downhill for me. I really enjoyed Dexter for the exact reason of Dexter being the main focus. But it kinda felt to me as if in season 3 Miguel was more of the main character, and Trinity in Season 4. And the fact that the show got kinda predictable and repetitive after a whlie did not help in keeping me interested. I really kinda watched season 4 just to say that i watched it, but after hearing that the quality gets worse and worse with each season, i just kinda gave up on watching Dexter.

I am in no way hating on the show, i really see its potential. And i greatly enjoyed the first 2.5 seasons. I would love for someone to change my mind to get me back to the show.

Imo season 4 is the best season, it's brutal, it's an intense build and with the best actor in john lithgow playing an amazing character as the bad ass. Fantastic season. Nothing else lived up to it for me. What's all you guys faves?

He said he would, and she knew that those men would come for her. Shouldn’t she have been in a witness protection program?

Does Debra ever find out that Dexter killed Brian,Lila,The Skinner,Trinity,Jordan Chase etc.? I honestly don’t remember them ever mention it in the series, they might have but I missed it. Can someone tell me? As far as she knows, he’s a serial killer

As we know, the kill Harry witnessed that did him in was Dexter's 4th. Only thing is, we've just seen his third, and Harry isn't supposed to end it until sometime after Deb graduates. It's likely that they'll write around it. But if not, I think the one that does, would be if Dexter killed Captain Spencer instead of some random that got loose. Say, Dexter finds it hard to get his hands on Spencer elsewhere except Harry's, and M-99s him in the garage after losing control of his Dark Passenger. Then Harry walks in, sees the murder, bada-bing bada-boom, dead Harry.

His innocence was completely destroyed when he watched his mother slaughtered in front of him when he was so little. Without Harry’s code he likely would have ended up like his brother Rudy/Brian who turned out to be the Ice Truck Killer and targeted innocent people. Dexter had that darkness in him and Harry just got him to channel it into people that would actually deserve it.

I guess that it’s all for his character development but why did they make Harrison go into foster care when he returned to the US when he should have family in Florida. And I say Florida alone because we still don’t know what happened to Gail up to this point. What happened to Astor and Cody? They were such a major part of Dexter’s life and obviously Harrison’s because despite the grandparents not being biologically his, he spent quite a lot of time with them when he was younger so one would assume that they would’ve welcomed him (if they’re still alive) and if not them then Astor and Cody would’ve been in their late 20s and the state would’ve placed him with them. This was just a plot hole that was itching my brain watching this season because we can’t deny how much Astor and Cody contributed to Dexter and them being written out always confused me.

So, I’m on season four, and I just wanted to point out and ask what is Quinn’s deal?

Dexter had caught him stealing money from evidence, but he didn’t say anything. Then, Quinn just starts to bribe him and try to be his “friend” even though he’s been nothing but an asshole to him before, and made fun of him.

Then, when he finds out that Dexter had given the dolphin tickets to Misoka (idk how to spell his name 😭) he then confronts him, and starts saying how he had money problems and if he hadn’t taken the money it would’ve sat in a locker. And Dexter is just like “ok, dude.. I really don’t care.”

Then Quinn gets mad at him, and just starts cussing him out about how he needed the money and how Dexter wouldn’t get it because he’s not even a real cop.

Dexter just said he didn’t care, and he wouldn’t tell anyone. But Quinn gets mad at him?

Man I'm glad I started watching this show. I started watching the show late last year after seeing so many clips of it appear on my YT shorts feed, I just finished the last episode now and holy shit I did not expect it to be so good yet sad. When Rita died was shocked but nothing could prepare me for Debra's death, I haven't felt this away about an ending since I played Life is Strange. Defiantly one of my top 10 favourite shows!

Regardless of your thoughts on the plot, acting, or characters, I find the attention to detail amazing for a prequel. Some of my favourites:

(I'm going to refer to Original Sin as OS, and The main show as OG)

• Dexter using the name "Patrick Bateman" on his fake id in OS, we see him use the alias once on the email for people who have access to m99 in OG season 1

• Not only that but the American psycho book came out in march of '91 and the show is set in '91 making it entirely practical for dexter to have read the book

• in OS after Harry makes a recovery we see deb pushing him in his wheel chair down the hall before spinning him in a circle. In OG we see the exact same spinning before leaving.

• There's plenty more, but even most recently in OS episode 7, when sofia finds the condom in dexters car and breaks up with him dexter doesn't even try to defend his position. He provides a possible reason as to where it comes from but when pushed further he doesn't defend himself just merely accepts Sofia's reaction. To me this is a great understanding of Dexters character and response to conflict. In OG When Rita learns he had sex with Lila and kicks him out he doesn't even defend himself by saying it was while they were broken up. I guess this detail is more his lack of care to defending himself.

• A short one, all the timelines match perfectly. The characters ages and when they went onto the force. Dexter is 20 and can't drink Deb is 17, we know there's a three year age gap. The show takes place a year after Deb's mother's death which in OG is confirmed to happen when Deb was 16, so the timeline stands up.

These are just a few examples off the top of my head, there's plenty more. Watching it for the first time as i'm currently rewatching the OG show i feel so happy that the writers have clearly payed close attention to the OG show.

Are there any other examples you noticed which made you feel the writers knew their source material inside and out?

Edit: Woah i see I don't know the OG as well as i thought i did. You guys are completely right there's plenty of missed details. However for a prequel made 12 years later, it's far better than most sequel/prequel series/movies. There's a lot missing but what is included is above average IMO

So as I was going back and forth in the comments about how Dexter is going to escape the police in Resurrection (which he must do because the scenes they are currently shooting in NYC show him appearing to check up on Harrison, which he couldn't do if he was in custody), and I realized that they laid out some oddly specific details in the first episode of Original Sin that heavily suggest what is going to happen.

The first thing I remembered is that we never see the driver. When Dexter is being rushed to the hospital in the back of the police car, they don't show Angela driving it. You might say "well it's obviously Angela, who else could have been driving him?". All the other police were either dealing with Logan's murder or rushing to Kurt's cabin. But then why avoid showing her face? Such a small detail that it can't be a coincidence. They go out of their way to avoid showing her face.

Another weird detail is the license plate on the cop car. They purposefully show that it is obscured with snow. Again, random details, why would they even include that? They specifically chose to shoot with that camera angle. Unless the cop car we see driving to the hospital is not the same car that Angela drives.

Another weird detail is that when they are saving Dexter in the hospital, there are no police anywhere to be seen. Now that one could just be because they were saving his life so the police weren't allowed to be in the room, but usually a suspected murderer would at least be handcuffed to the bed. Maybe they knew his injury was too severe but again, just another odd detail to support the theory.

Also, isn't it weird how rushed they made the driving scene feel? Very urgent, like whoever was driving really wanted Dexter to live. Angela not only believes that Dexter is a serial killer who deserves the death penalty, but also knows he killed Logan, one of her best friends. So why would she be is such a rush to save Dexter?

So, what if it isn't Angela driving at all. What if someone else discovered Dexter dying at the scene, incapacitated Angela somehow, and rushed Dexter to the hospital. Someone from his past, and it could be anyone really. Maybe the theory that Quinn always knew is right and he is the one trying to save Dexter. It tracks that he would break the law to save someone he cared about, but what doesn't really track is the fact that Quinn mostly left Dexter alone after season 5. Maybe he is doing it for Deb or something because he loved her. Maybe it's paying Dexter back for lying about the blood evidence on his shoe when Liddy was killed.

It could also be Angel, although as much as Angel and Dexter were friends, New Blood made it seem like he really started to suspect that Dexter was the BHB after he disappeared. Doesn't make a whole lot of sense why Angel would save him then.

Whoever it was had to have either followed Dexter from the police station, followed Angela from the station after she learned that he killed Logan, or followed Harrison there. It could really be anyone from Dexter's past who had a motive to help him.

If this is the case, it would explain how he will be able to escape. Even if Angela was knocked out, if she wakes up and finds him gone, there will likely be evidence to suggest he was taken, not that he walked away. Also, usually when someone is shot in the heart, they don't get back up. It is perfectly reasonable for Angela to assume Dexter is dead and someone stole his body. She might even think Harrison came back and did it.

The evidence might seem small but there are multiple subtle hints of things that just don't add up, or there isn't really another explanation for why they would do it that way. The only explanation I can think of for why Angela wouldn't be shown is that they didn't want to pay her actress for 1 minute of screen time. But even then they could have used a stunt double and shown the back of her head or something. They go out of their way not to show the driver. It could be nothing, but usually in film, nothing is a coincidence.

I was a little confused in the finale they had no concrete proof to tie down Dexter and he was doing a good job of gaslighting Angela, he didn’t look one bit worried. But as soon as he heard angels name he got spooked and decided to escape and accidentally kill Logan, why was he so out of character he even just left all the evidence and body lying there. Why was he so scared of seeing angel again to make him act that out of character? Also how the hell does he get out of it in resurrection. A lot of plot holes and out of character moments, I don’t see what Dexter had to be scared of angel had nothing and the fbi wouldn’t reopen the account based on some needle marks 😂
