eSJayDee Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Okay, w/o giving anything away, I just gotta say that it outdid itself. If this was indeed the end, this ending was WORSE than the original! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBBills Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 I only made it to season 5 with Dexter. Never any reason to watch more than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwksilver Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 I am 2 episodes behind. It has been good up to now. Disappointed to hear the final sucked. Will still see how it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhoTom Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 I may be in the minority, but I think the original ending was good. (Spoiler alert - don't read if you haven't seen the original series and plan to.) Deb had to die because she never would have been at peace after Dexter put her in a no-win scenario, choosing between protecting him (by shooting the captain) vs. upholding the law. Dexter would also never be at peace knowing how many innocent people have inadvertently died because of him - especially his sister and his wife. However, rather than giving in to the hurricane and putting himself out of his misery, he probably felt like he didn't deserve to be at peace, so he faked his death, moved to a colder climate, and took on a job he didn't really want. It wasn't a happy ending, but I thought it was appropriate. We haven't watched the new season yet (we don't get Showtime), but we'll get a trial sub and binge it soon.

eSJayDee Posted January 9, 2022 Author Share Posted January 9, 2022 34 minutes ago, WhoTom said: I may be in the minority, but I think the original ending was good. It certainly wasn't fulfilling, but it did have merit. I'd say it was "Shakespearian", and appropriate. As for this one... ummm ... just lacking in a few regards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talley56 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 SPOILER . . . I was pissed that they had Dexter kill the police officer. He's always killed bad people and now they have him kill a good person. Left a bad taste in my mouth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlCowlingsTaxiService Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Watching it currently. Started strong, but fading fast. I’m certain he’s forced to off his cop GF. The whole indoctrination of his son to his murderous lifestyle was weird to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkeerie Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 I just finished watching the New Blood finale. I had seen a spoiler today on the ending...that wasn't billed as a spoiler so I was po'd. After watching the episode...I do believe it was the way it needed to end. And they do need to end it here and not try to continue the story. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
