    I used to love Dexter, but I can't forgive the tedious formula they can't seem to let go of. Dexter befriends a psychopath and ends up realizing that he's got to kill him or her in every single season. While Dexter needs an entire season to figure that out, we the viewers unfortunately don't. If you can predict the end of the new season without having seen a single frame of it, it screamsI used to love Dexter, but I can't forgive the tedious formula they can't seem to let go of.

    Thankfully, this season Dexter continues to play with our moral bearings, which is the show’s best quality.

    The series is as compulsively watchable as ever, with Dexter's marriage, stepchildren, newborn son and stifling suburban life complicating his leisure time.

    Dexter’s life as a suburban dad feels claustrophobic, and the show has become repetitive and predictable.
