What Are the Critics Saying about Dexter Season 8?
Dexter Season 8 has an official critics rating of 33% and an average audience score of 52% on Rotten Tomatoes. It is widely believed that the final season did not do justice to an otherwise good series.
Juliet Litman from Grantland says, “Not only did the writers seemingly lose track of who Dexter was, they also lost Debra and all the other ancillary characters. This is how the show went wrong. Oh, and the ending made no sense at all.”
The Guardian’s Becca Day-Preston writes, “The show had never fully recovered from the devastation wreaked by season four’s main villain the Trinity Killer (John Lithgow), and this final run has played out that inferiority, being patchy, unfocused and, at times, sloppy.”
