SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary Although Dexter remains to be considered one of the greatest thriller television series ever made, there are a few unfortunate realities that come about during a modern-day rewatch. Dexter stars Michael C. Hall as the titular protagonist who across eight seasons and 96 episodes doubles as a Forensic Specialist and Blood Splatter Analyst for the Miami Metro Police Department as a methodical vigilante serial killer.
Debra begins season 8 as a total wreck after she killed LaGuerta to spare her brother in the season 7 finale, a predicament that Dexter's double life created. Debra has to sacrifice her own values in order to protect Dexter, which is something that Dexter was rarely ever willing to do for Debra. As a fan-favorite character, it's upsetting to watch Debra's love and faith in Dexter fail miserably.
7 Dexter's Flashback Wig Is Hilarious But Disrupts The Immersion It's still funny every time but takes you out of it It's hard to truly hate on the hilarious Dexter season 1 flashbacks in which a 35-year-old Michael C. Hall poses as an 18-year-old version of Dexter with a laughably obvious wig, but it does take the viewer out of the immersion of the series, which is one of the main reasons why it's so beloved.
5 Dexter's Pride & Overconfidence Often Led To His Downfall As meticulous and intelligent as Dexter is, his confidence borders on arrogance The greatest tragedies that Dexter faces in the series, which typically cost other people their lives such as Rita and Debra, are mostly a result of his miscalculation or negligence.
3 Dr. Vogel Proved Harry's Code Was Never His To Begin With Harry's code was created by Vogel, who's own son was the psychopath who shot Debra It was certainly an intriguing element to have Vogel be the one who crafted Harry's code, although in the grand scheme of things it does feel like a bit of an afterthought since she wasn't mentioned at all in the seven seasons before her appearance.
