If there’s a TV writers' version of Stockholm syndrome, Dexter is Exhibit A.
I’d love to say it isn’t half-bad, but I can’t, because it is. It’s roughly 50 percent bad.
The final season of Dexter has been problematic, to say the least… But nothing, and I mean nothing, could have prepared me for the absolute sw...
A not-bad start that promises to take Dex (and "Dexter") in a slightly new and fresh direction.
At this point, the only people still watching are life-hating masochists like me who grimly cling on to each new arid, inert, incident-free episode...
Dexter is gone, put down after eight seasons (three of which were too many) by masters that finally realized that old age wasn’t doing this w...

First the good news, Dexter didn’t conclude its eighth and final season with a credulity-straining happy ending. The bad news is that the end...
This is still one of the most creative, well-written, well-performed shows on TV.

This season will be full of dotted i’s and crossed t’s, capping several story arcs and tying up loose ends.
The clever creative team at Showtime keeps us salivating for the next episode.
This is a classic good-news-bad-news situation. The good news is that we get to see the excellent John Lithgow play a serial killer. The bad n...
[While] Snyder’s version can certainly be stunning, it’s ultimately undone by his excesses and the underlying flaws of an overstuffed s...
The key players are engaged in ways that prove occasionally shocking and disarmingly funny.
The start of the eighth and final season of Dexter feels like a comeback album from a band that you used to love.
[Snyder’s] Justice League is overlong, miserable and signifies nothing other than the potential of fandom to influence top-level creative dec...
I’m interested but not engrossed, though it offers the potential for a change-up in the Dexter storyline.
An entertaining if overlong superhero flick in its own right. If this is the last DC film Snyder directs, it’s a satisfactory exit.
Not only did the writers seemingly lose track of who Dexter was, they also lost Debra and all the other ancillary characters. This is how the show...
Let’s not forget that the Snyder Cut was in part willed into being by a toxic social media campaign, mob rule begetting a mystical...
John Lithgow’s Emmy-winning performance boosts the show to another level.
Ultimately, the show becomes tethered to the unlikely relationship between Dexter and his girlfriend… It’s here that "Dexter" rewards your pa...
This is a curious chimera that wears humour and menace with equal flourish, without ever needing to sacrifice one to feed the other.
"Dexter" suddenly seems destined to spend the fall as that drama you watch to kill time before "Homeland" is on.
It was great while it lasted – particularly in the middle seasons – but all that’s left now is to prepare the kill room and accept...
I’ll state it plainly: Showtime’s Dexter is the best series on television. Period… The show’s producers this season have had the...
I’m not saying superhero movies or comic book movies can’t have the range. I’m just saying I’m not sure that Snyder does.
Suffice to say, it’s deeper than the first "cut", though that’s faint praise.
After almost three seasons away from the Showtime drama, I’m back on board, and if you’d given up too, you might want to think about he...

This film is infinitely better. Zack Snyder’s Justice League is a deeper, richer version.
Maybe Dexter is the perfect anti-hero for these passionately morally relativistic times. Or maybe we’re all just as brutal and misogynistic a...
The early Dexters were clever, sly and engrossing but, sad to say, the show seems to be suffering a slow and painful death.
Is this an improvement over the more straightforward and much shorter original? Not to this reviewer, though I was in the minority who actually enj...
Holland flings himself into the role, and sweats desperation every second. But the Russos undermine him at every turn…
Dexter has convinced me that perhaps it’s got a few gasps left in its lungs, and that’s not a minor accomplishment.
This cut is no worse than the theatrical edition, but it sure is longer.
In a genre increasingly hidebound by formula, it stands as a monument to exceptionalism that itself feels exceptional.
It’s tough to get excited about a show in which the threat of the titular character’s ultimate downfall feels toothless.
Hall’s character will definitely be missed as will the ritualistic opening credits – it’s just a shame the ending was unchara...
The film seems to want more of everything except the quality that it most needs, and the quality that it seems to only comprehend in the abstract.
As much as some of the scenes made me, a casual DC Universe fan, gasp, the film’s brutal length and scattershot storytelling induce more head...

Everything is so heavily stylised, the emphasis is on irony rather than realism… Well it made me laugh.

Dexter has been on the wane for years now, but even those who stuck it out this long will have a hard time stomaching the killer’s last...
The parting scenes between Dexter and Deb, possibly the most powerful sibling bond television has ever seen, gave the show the send-off it deserved.
The writers are treading water, waiting for the green light to send this story where we all know it eventually is going.
Four-plus hours is plenty of time for Snyder to have his say, yet he doesn’t appear willing to let it go. But justice has been served, and it...
There’s an interesting switcheroo halfway and a game – altering climax, but this is not quite Dexter at his blood-splattered best.
Sit back, don’t think, and expect some good performances – especially by Jennifer Carpenter.
Watching Dexter endure the bubbly, enforced cheer of family life may make this the best season of the drama series to date.

Dexter isn’t just clever and original, it’s also incredibly funny, which is quite an achievement given its gruesome subject matter.
There’s a rote quality to his kills at this point, as if we’re just marking time until his path crosses with Trinity’s.

What Snyder built is a much better movie, so much that I wanted to go back to my review of the original cut and dock it a few more points.

It’s quite an achievement to get people to cheer on a serial killer, but this is what "Dexter," the series, does.
It’s the television equivalent of getting high and eating an entire box of Lucky Charms: It’s awesome in the moment, but you may regret...
The first few episodes of the new season do little to alleviate this longtime fan’s feelings that the show should have ended its run before now.
Everything the Snyder faithful hoped it would be, and a vast improvement over its 2017 theatrical iteration.
Surprisingly, the first few episodes of season seven indicate a willingness on the show’s part to take some new chances.
Well, it’s different enough from the 2017 film to justify its existence, if only as an artistic curio. The broad strokes, however...
Still, a major improvement when all is said and done, and Snyder has conclusively proved his point.

The second attempt to master this can still be considered successful. The first half is pure fire, then it slowly declines, the final season is generally mediocre. The ending is disappointing, but at least it doesn’t blow your seat, and thank you for that. Let’s see how they apologize in the ninth. Translated to English

I watched the new season and couldn’t put it down, like all the previous seasons, one of my favorite series, and the continuation didn’t disappoint, although I admit I was skeptical before its release. Solid thumbs up for season 10, as well as for the entire series as a whole! Translated to English

The series is really creepy in places. He both scared me and fascinated me at the same time. The snotty ending was disappointing. I think the series was leaked. Translated to English
Watched
An excellent series with wonderful scripts that are not burdened with cliched moves; you feel interest and involvement from the very first season and the tension does not let go until the very end. It’s nice that the episodes, which are not for the faint of heart, are interspersed with positive scenes. I recommend it to connoisseurs of the genre Translated to English

An adaptation of Jeffrey Lindsay’s novel 'Dexter’s Slumbering Demon'. One of my favorite series in which a charming killer brings order to his city! Translated to English

A great series with a crazy ending. I hope they don’t screw up the sequel. Translated to English

Well, that’s it. A story about the luckiest serial killer with inferiority complexes and constant problems in his personal life. And as I understand it, in Miami people go to work whenever they want. At the time of 2006 it might have been cool, but for 2020 find something more fun. Translated to English
