- Season 8. Eight seasons is a long time for any show to run, but Dexter had re-earned quite a bit of goodwill with its penultimate season. Season 7 built up to the dissolution of Deb and Dexter’s relationship, setting the stage for a particularly tense final season in the wake of Laguerta’s death… only for the season 8 premiere to jump ahead six months.
- Season 6. Arguably the biggest issue plaguing the sixth season is the mere fact it often feels very standalone. There’s continuity with the first five seasons, but new showrunner Scott Buck tried to set a clear stage for him to work off of.
- Season 5. The first season following the original showrunner’s departure from the series, explicit confirmation that Dexter would run longer than six seasons, and aftermath of Rita’s death, season 5 had a lot to live up to and ultimately couldn’t.
- Season 3. It’s funny to think, but season 3 is actually the most inconsequential season in Dexter. It’s the only one that has no real consequences other than Dexter marrying Rita.
Dexter chops up all of his victims and disposes of them in garbage bags that he dumps in the bay. Other violent acts include shouting, pushing, choking, and strangling. Subjects touched on in the series include rape, pedophilia, domestic violence, and the twisted mind of serial killers.
"Dexter got a wife, a baby and learned he can't have friends", a solid story for 8 episodes (maybe), but stretching an entire season around it feels forced. I guess 5 has the same problem, only worse.

- 1 Season 2 (2007) Rotten Tomatoes Score: 96% After a reasonably intense first season, Dexter's second season raised the stakes to a near ludicrous degree, setting the bar high enough that most of the seasons that followed failed to come close.
- 2 Season 4 (2009) Rotten Tomatoes Score: 88% Dexter's fourth season sees the show at its most dramatic, intense, and emotionally devastating. Following the birth of Harrison, his and Rita's son, Dexter is now struggling to learn how to be a father, and all the while has an uneasy dynamic with Arthur Mitchell (John Lithgow), an older man who's also a serial killer like Dexter, albeit one who's worked out how to balance his murders with his family life.
- 3 Season 5 (2010) Rotten Tomatoes Score: 84% It's something of a surprise to see season 5 of Dexter be near the top of the highest-rated seasons of the show according to Rotten Tomatoes critics.
- 4 Season 1 (2006) Rotten Tomatoes Score: 82% Season 1 of Dexter is great television, with much of the show's success largely coming from how instantly engaging its pilot episode is.
