I'm way late to this but just finished the last season and I really enjoyed it. The father son stuff between sociopaths was somehow touching. Maybe that's a stretch to call Harrison that. Dexter dying was the only fitting ending imo. I think it did a much better job of wrapping up the show than the original final season did.
This prequel debuts next week (Friday December 13)
Who is watching?
Oh, Sarah Michelle Gellar is in this...haven't seen her in a while.
I'm not sure I'll watch this even though I loved the original series. Casting a younger version of basically everyone from the original (Dex, Deb, Harry, Masuka, Batista, LaGuerta) makes it look like a parody video.
I'd rather have them re-do Season 8, but do it properly and continue Dexter's story in a different setting (and forget that New Blood ever happened).
