Didn't know Dexter is still continuing. Stopped watching many years ago.

I'm one of the few who enjoyed the last season.of DEXTER.

Like GOT, it had a downbeat ending- the mass murderers didn't live happily ever after- which pissed of fans.

It also had the best music of the run.

Interested to see where the new version picks up.

We all did. It went off air many years ago 😁

I stopped watching long before that. At a certain point I felt the show was getting worse and so I lost my interest. Enough is enough is enough.

I stuck with DEXTER.

It really should have been a thirty minute show . They spent too.much time on side stories like his sister's romances and the other cop's family dramas.

But, when Dexter was the focus , it was very good

I wish I have made the same decision. Dexter S8 is an abomination.

Why?

Because the serial killers didn't escape to Argentina where they lived happily ever after"😒

Why don't you ask Jay? He warned me about the deteriorating quality of the later Dexter seasons. Even he might have called it quits at a given point.

Dexter Seasons 1-4 were good


Dexter Seasons 5-8 were not

 

I doubt the upcoming Season 9 will be anything remarkable, despite the original showrunner from 1-4 returning

Clancy Brown is a positive though ... He always makes for a great villain.

He's been a favorite of mine for ages.  He was fantastic in SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, EARTH 2, STARSHIP TROOPERS, CARNIVALE, LOST, etc.  And he's even good on SpongeBob!

Yep.  Dexter was one of those shows where it eventually got so bad, I wouldn't even recommend the early good seasons to anyone, which I totally would have at the point when only 4 seasons existed. Sometimes a bad ending can completely make you re-evaluate an entire show (or at least not want to recommend something you know starts great but ends bad)

 

Games of Thrones is currently in the same boat for me

They actually do a lot of detective!  Some of the cases they solve are actually really cleverly written!

 

A lot of modern tv comedy is very fast paced

This new Rose Byrne 80's set show looks dumb

 

 

Glow was the right amount of 80s-ness, this really dives headfirst into the deepend

Whatever you thought of the Special (I liked most of it, frankly), I really loved the amazing orchestral arrangement of the main theme heard at the end. Very Horneresque.

I haven't watched the reunion special, but haven't heard that many good things about it
