Review of Dexter

I loved this show when it came out. Great show, fun concept. Dexter is sort of an antihero who has urges to kill people but channels it towards killing bad people. So he's almost like Batman who murders. He's a sociopathic so he's incapable of feeling a ton a of emotions but he wants to. He tries to blend in by having a normal life. You end up really sympathizing and rooting for his character. It's a good show... at first. The fourth season was CRAZY good and they off a major character which is a total game changer for the seasons going forward. When shows do this... they have to be careful. Because they made that season so good, the show wasn't quite the same after that. There were still some good moments, but they really should have wrapped it up immediately afterward. I could hardly get through some of the later seasons. The plot points were stupid, the main killers weren't great, and then the dropped the last season on us and I couldn't stand any of the characters by the end. It was too bad. I feel like they should have quit while they were ahead. It was a really great show until season 5 started and it all went downhill after that. But worth a watch. Just know that the climax of the series is in season 4 and the show just kind of dies after that.
