Don"t worry I wont ruin anything. I am just here to warn you that after episode 8 it skips to episode 10. I did not realize that they put episode 9 or (609) at the end, nice one guys. Therefore I just started episode 10 after 8. Right away on "previously on dexter" they ruin the big surprise on episode 9. Man kinda ruins it. Please fix this.

I've never been sympathetic with a serial killer before, but clearly there's a first for anything. Dexter really is America's favorite serial killer because you will find yourself rooting him on and with seriously mixed morals. Dexter's relationship with Rita was entirely pure, they were my otp. I've screamed at my TV, cried my face off, and marathoned so many episodes with my friend. Each season had a fantastic plot and complex characters and relationships, but went downhill IMO after season 4.

addictive. It always finds a way to put on the each of the sit. The book is really amazing too. I have watched all these seasons repetitive times and still don't get old. The last season slightly annoyed me but I do not want dexter to ever end. But I guess it's true. Everything good comes to a end sometime.
