I'm watching it too and I'm having trouble making it through season 1. You can tell it's gonna get good later but I'm having a hard time sitting through a lot of the cringe like the awkward relationship stuff and kid Dexter with a wig.

Is my gf legitimately retarded? I've been rewatching the series with her and we recently finished season 4. I was looking forward to how she would react to Rita's death, and all she said was "that was just a hallucination right?" I sarcastically responded "yeah they're going to the end the season with a scene of Dexter imagining Rita dead in the bathtub without ever clarifying it was a hallucination." Even after putting things into perspective and explaining why that's fucking stupid conclusion, she still thought that's what happened until we started season 5. I called her a low IQ retard and her defense was that she doesn't have good TV and film literacy.

I thought ghost Deb was a lot nastier to Dex than she ever would've been in real life but in fairness it's Dexter's subconscious and not actually Deb. She's really sweet to him until he starts killing again at which point she basically manifests as his sense of guilt and self-loathing.
Even if she didn't want to come back I hope she changes her mind for season 2. Dexter isn't the same without Deb at all though I liked that Harry was back.

>>215152844
I think part of it was the show was made just before TV got completely fucked over by stuff like pirating/ Netflix and good content was still being produced by TV networks.
The show is pretty average for its time, albeit better than similar shows that are mostly forgotten now like House, but amazing by today's content standards. Plus is isn't that old so younger audiences can still relate to it.
Also the autismo "literally me" content and its sense of a very objective morality kind of hits even more today.

Dexter has let people that fit the code go before. Some that were on his table (Thank god we didn't get a scene where he started fucking the blind Haitian man after sparing him). Dexter and Hannah clearly had a connection and with him longing for a companion that he can be open with it's not such a stretch that he's drawn to her in ways other than being a worthy victim.

>>
>>215160871
Only during specific circumstances and the other times he didn't immediately kill someone that fit the code it usually bit him in the ass. This time he was just simping and let this backstabbing killer bitch go. Then when she clearly had the intention of trying to kill Deb and tried manipulating him, he didn't kill her yet again. AND THEN SHE COMES BACK A THIRD FUCKING TIME AND DRUGS HIM AND DEB AND HE DOES NOT KILL THIS HOE, AND THEN HE JUST LETS HER TAKE HARRISON. There is also the fact that if Dexter was fully focused on getting the brain surgeon instead of having that bitch to throw him off his game Deb most likely wouldn't have gotten shot.
>>
>>215160995
Yeah but that act doesn't scream Bay Harbor Butcher. It screams a man who's distraught about the death of his sister and wants vengeance against the man who did it. Him and Quinn both knew why he did it and understood but were willing to look the other way
>It's obviously self defence
Him taking Deb's body is weird and riding off into a storm is weird but it's consistent with a man that's had a breakdown due to grief. I don't see that being the act that makes him suddenly think Dexter is a serial killer. It just looks like the guy who was leaving because he was burned out snapped when his beloved sister was murdered. Angel himself says he spoke at Dexter's funeral. When someone dies like that they're usually canonised in our memories. What happened that Angel's perception of Dexter changed posthumously? They never explain it as far as I can recall.

>>215161003

Give me some examples if it's not deep. Just the cursory ones off the top of your head.
>You really like her.
I wouldn't say that. It's nice for him to have a foil that understands who he is and accepts it warts and all and that person obviously has to be a killer with their own code, even if it's a lot more rudimentary than Dexter's.
I just want to know why you hate her so much. It feels like the people that hate her often do so because they want the incest plotline.

>>215161063
>This time he was just simping and let this backstabbing killer bitch go. Then when she clearly had the intention of trying to kill Deb and tried manipulating him, he didn't kill her yet again.
Even when he's had a connection with someone being a threat to Deb has always been the line in the sand which he's drawn, even with his own brother. He didn't kill her because she had become Deb's obsession to at that point and he genuinely loved her. It was his compromise.
>AND THEN SHE COMES BACK A THIRD FUCKING TIME AND DRUGS HIM AND DEB AND HE DOES NOT KILL THIS HOE, AND THEN HE JUST LETS HER TAKE HARRISON
That's a second time at that point and he doesn't kill her because she doesn't kill him. She did it to get his attention because she wanted him to kill her husband, something which she eventually does on her own.
>There is also the fact that if Dexter was fully focused on getting the brain surgeon instead of having that bitch to throw him off his game Deb most likely wouldn't have gotten shot.
Perhaps but Dexter has the brain surgeon ready to be killed and spares him for Deb to arrest him because he feels there's something else for him in his life. That is consistent with him sparing people coming back to bite him, as you said.
>>
>>215161210
The fact that he killed his own brother that unconditionally loved his serial killer ass for threatening Deb but not this random hoe is precisely why this is bullshit. Also the "Dexter betrays the code and gets fucked" was overdone by that point, he should've just killed the bitch when she threatened Deb's life (the brain surgeon as well, he should've learned his lesson already).
>>
>>215161125

>>
>>215161499
>The fact that he killed his own brother that unconditionally loved his serial killer ass for threatening Deb but not this random hoe is precisely why this is bullshit.
I think giving Hannah to Deb to arrest was as much about doing something for Deb as it was a sacrifice for him. Maybe understanding how hard it was for him to deal with killing Brian is why he chose that route for Hannah but even she says to him he should've killed her instead of prison but I just think he genuinely didn't want to kill her and couldn't bring himself to do it to another companion that understood him so well and didn't judge him.
>>
>>215161550
>the other dude is giving you examples and you are just justifying with dumb takes.
I think both sides have merit and to me it doesn't seem either is definitively right. He seems a lot smarter than you in that he can defend his position with insulting anyone.
>In two chapters btw.
And?
>>
>>215161067
>Yeah but that act doesn't scream Bay Harbor Butcher.
No it don't. However Dex was accused of being the Bay Harbor butcher by LaGuerta(I think I can't remember the details). After seeing him kill a man easy could make him think "Maybe LaGuerta was on to something" and form there he could think about the Ice Trucker Killer wanting to be friends with Dex, and also think about how Doakes thought about him.
>>
>>215161737
Yeah, I don't see that. It doesn't seem like a natural path of progression. Someone killing their sister's murderer in an act of vengeance doesn't really align with them being the most calculated serial killer in the state's history that is for all intents and purposes known to already be dead. Plus he had all of Laguerta's files from her independent investigation with Matthews that definitively lead back to Doakes. Do you think he if he ever started building suspicions he would never run by anything with Matthews regarding that investigation? There really had to be some kind of moment or revelatory information imo for him to go to trusting and loving Dexter to suspecting him of being the Bay Harbor Butcher after he was dead.
I'm fine with him being an antagonist for Dexter in Resurrection, it works, but I just feel they cheated with how they got there.

And you're calling the takes dumb. I don't like people that can't defend their position without elaboration. Better to say nothing at all.
>Too rushed, bad writing.
That's how love and attraction works. It's often spontaneous. Plus how many attractive female killers do you think a serial killer get to meet that they can be open about who they are with?

Yeah that's true. When I watch New Blood I though it was a stretch. Angel had no clues.

Its out of character for the Butcher to kill in the open, true. But it did show Dexter as a cold effective killer. So maybe there more to Dexter.
However the only link to Bucher is LaGuerta. Otherwise there is nothing.
