Dexter Rating ((new))

Dexter is the definition of a "mixed bag" masterpiece. It is a show that earns a for its highs (Seasons 1, 2, and 4) and a 4/10 for its lows (Seasons 6 and 8).

Critics and audiences began to rate the show lower not because the acting faltered (Michael C. Hall remained consistently brilliant), but because the writing became increasingly contrived. The "Code of Harry" felt flexible when it needed to be rigid; Deb’s discovery of Dexter’s secret in Season 7 was handled well, but the surrounding narrative—including a lackluster villain in the form of Hannah McKay—caused ratings to dip. dexter rating
