chrisco37 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 It sure was. I didn't expect that ending. When you think about it though, that's really all they could have done and kept Dexter "likeable". Bosco685 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piper Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 I’m about three episodes behind. It was worth the watch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisco37 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 I think so. It was interesting how they wrap the season up. piper and Bosco685 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pitboss Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 I see IMDB changed it to a mini-series. Done. I definitely did not see that ending coming. Fitting end. Bosco685 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, it was the opposite - it shows that he was truly irredeemable and not likeable with the killing of Logan, a death that did not fit “ The Code” and that there was no way to save him and Harrison saw that. Dexter realized too late that Harrison did not in fact share his Dark Passenger and that his rage was due more to abandonment issues than having his own Dark Passenger. That being said I loved the finale and feel that it was one of the best episodes ever. The chief finding the dolls was excellent.

HighRadArt Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Just finished the final episode. Best episode and as others have said it was a fitting end. Jordysnordy and Bosco685 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AGGIEZ Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Watched the finale last night with the wife. Really liked how they wrapped it up! I feel like this was much needed after the poor showing in the original series finale...which I felt was weak. The whole show is watched with mixed emotions, rooting for a serial killer of killers, but I think Dexter killing Coach Logan tipped the scales for me and the end was fitting...especially after he flashes through all of the 'innocents' that died because of him. Maybe not at his hand, but as a result of his actions. At that point, I was good with the ending. NOW, it'll be interesting to see if they call it done or try and do something with Harrison and maybe have Dexter as the "ghost" in his head. If I'm betting, I think they're done...

Get Marwood & I Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 I watched it yesterday with my Mum. We've watched all eight series, and Dexter is one on my top five shows of all time. Something about that chap, and the supporting cast. A winning way. I saw Mr Hall in London on the way to a comic fair the other year - I think he was starring in a Bowie stage show. I called out something very boring and uninspired, as you annoyingly find yourself doing when caught on the hop, and he replied with gracious thanks. And that was that. A missed opportunity. The final season was satisfying, if a little underpowered. It never reached the dizzy heights of the early seasons, but certainly surpassed the previous 'ending'. I'd have liked to see him speak to Angel before the end - just one confrontation with someone from the old school. A fitting end though, finding love for the first time in that last moment of sacrifice, but I will miss him. He's now filed away with Capaldi, Craig, Smith.... sd2416 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was also said if Showtime comes to them for more with Harrison, he would be glad to work on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A confrontation at least could have been quite powerful, the old catching up with the new. The reaction of someone who mattered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
