They fucking killed Rita.
What the actual fuck.
I realize this probably real old news but I have never seen the show until this month.
Anyway yea. Probably not finishing the show it's going downhill.

RIta dying was SUCHHH a let down. But you should skip ahead to season 6. The show really never dies down, but it definitely runs you through the emotional ringer. Season 7, you'll love the 'new Rita' even more ))

I figured there would eventually be a new girl for dexter but Rita was such a sweetheart it's like super sad. I'm only halfway through season 5.
I've been real bummed about Rita, I didn't think a tv show could make me so upset.

I doubt it's airing. I'm watching on Netflix. I think the season I'm watching was released in 2010 so yea 5 years is accurate. I didn't ever check it out until this year lol.

If you think them killing rita sucked, wait for the finale.
At least rita was upsetting, the end was just like "...what?"
Killed the show for me

You're gonna hate the fucking finale 
It's not often a show has made me rage like that. Of all the ways they could've ended it, they chose that way. Fuck them.

Season one was really good but it was a continual downward spiral from that point. Season four was good but I didn't think it was as amazing as everyone else seemed to think. The rest of the show from that point flat out sucks and I wouldn't really recommend it. The worst part of the show is that the best season by far, the first season, isn't very re-watchable because you know who the ice truck killer is and alla that.

Dexter had maybe the worst ending of any show I ever seen ever, forever.

I'd agree it's not really rewatchable. IMO the majority of the shows appeal was it's uniqueness. Once you've watched it all, there is nothing unique about it anymore. There's not a lot of eye candy or anything. It's a compelling story, and once you know it, it's no longer really compelling.
That said, I absolutely loved every single season of Dexter. The ONLY thing I had a problem with was finale (see below). That shit had me infuriated. I'm kinda biased though. I'm not a "normal person" and I identified with him a lot. I don't have uncontrollable urges to kill people, but that aside, watching him, was like watching myself. So yes, I loved it all. He is probably the person I identify with the most out of any major TV character.
Spoiler, if you haven't watched, don't look: The entire fucking series hammers it into your brain there is only two ways his story could really ever end. Either he's caught and imprisoned, or he dies. There are multiple times he's brought it up as a narrator of himself, that he's on a path and there is only a single split that means the end for him. Death or imprisonment. It's going to be one or the other. Instead we get some insanely retarded finale where he just picks up and goes to start living a normal life. W T F. anti-climatic doesn't even begin to describe it. If I'm not mistaken, Michael C Hall) expressed total disappointment in the finale. Even HE thought it was shit. He threw out some pity lines to not alienate people, but reading his quotes on the matter, it's easy to say he was not pleased.
Over all the show was fucking awesome. I've always wanted a nueralizer to erase my memories of seeing a movie/tv show, so I can enjoy watching them all over again as if it were the first time.
Some other point I meant to make but can't recall now, maybe tomorrow.
I hope this makes sense, I'm pretty damn gone at the moment.

Also, though, I hated how at the beginning he was totally Asexual, and then as the series progressed that was dropped in favor of being sexually interested in people. Seasons 1-4 will always be the best, and after season 4 they got a new showrunner who I don't think understood the material that well, thus the decline in quality.

Finished the show. While it wasn't the worst show I've seen it was definitely full of so much "what the fuck?". Thoroughly unimpressed with the ending.

Yeah the end of Dexter sucked ass
And killing Rita really did suck too. First 4 seasons of Dexter was legit but it def stuck around for a couple too many seasons
It was still fun to watch, but yeah

Well, he didn't really just pick up and start a new life.
Deb died and he knew that it was the end for him so he faked his death and reappeared as a nobody in some random place while his new chick waited for him in Europe with his child.
Not saying I was a fan of it though. I loved the entire series, every season but I dont understand how he faked his death. He drove his boat into a storm which is easily understandable way for someone to die but how did he get back to shore? Some other boat anchored out in the Atlantic? Now what about his child? Raised by another killer or will Dexter eventually show up to raise his child?
Fuck. Idk. I loved the entire show tthough. Ive watched it 3-4 times because I've gotten other people into it and then when I see them they're so sucked in I end up watching it with them.
