Quite a bit gets said about John Lithgow's performance in Season four (?), but that was the season everything began to go South for Dexter. His reasoning was way off since there were opportunities to let the man die before the story got to the Rita arc.
Obviously, he gets off on killing people and there should be consequences for that. But as I see the ending, spending time on a deserted Island will give him time to think. If he could have only curtailed his desires and had been satisfied in turning over evidence to the police, this could have been a very different story.
So, what if age has that affect on him, and one day he realizes that Harry sold him out when he didn't take into account that Dexter could one day feel and change?
If there was a return to the series in ten years, let's say, it would have to take place in a different setting than Miami.
What I liked the most about Dexter was the quirky characters. His sister, Masuka and, also, the off-beat humor. I disagree with the critics that expected it to go dark, like Breaking Bad. I love BB, but it's strives to hit drama head on. Where Dexter was a far more creative storyline. It had to be to attract the attention of women.
