My unpopular Dexter opinion is that season five of Dexter is good actually and it gets a lot of flak for beingĀ āunwatchableā because, for the very first time, we see our favorite butcher come apart at the seams.Ā
Season five is when the show shifts from darkly humorous to just plainĀ grimĀ (how could it not, after Ritaās death?)Ā and it begins to ask very hard questions about the effect Dexter has on everyone in his life. It is also cathartic because he bonds with someone else who has been through very violent and traumatic things. Someone he doesnāt have to hide from. It is all about grief and how we heal. Also, Julia Stiles, bro.Ā
Season five is good. I love season five with a passion. I am a season five advocate. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
