Winning two golden Globes in 2010 for its third season Dexter seemed to be climbing towards a whole new level of suspense and excitement. However, this show was about to drop off the deep end.
Disclaimer: I was never truly into this show, just something to watch while passing the time during a breakup. So I didn't notice the dip in quality as being so severe, more like from average to garbage. The characters were fairly shallow and the best story line was ended in the first season, which apparently continued throughout the book which made the book better, typical. Each season has a new villain which is defeated in the last episode, this made season three extremely boring, and nothing was as dark as they wanted it to be. Almost as if they were telling the audience that it was scary and we should just go along with it, less the end of season 3, that was an electric chairs worth of shocking. For transparencies sake, I was most likely not in the best mood to be watching this show.
With that aside I would like to say that the premise was what drew me to the show in the first place. The first episode seemed to what I was hoping for, an interesting vigilante and a look into the mind of a serial killer. Over time I grew tire of hearing about these supposed laws, hes crazy... come on, why are we hearing about logic. I want some Roger the Alien with a ski mask, or the man he was imitating Patrick Bateman, crazy is interesting, a sane crazy man is boring.
