Dexter re-watch

Yep I've been bored. Started over on this series. I know the popular opinion is that the show went downhill quickly after season 4. For the most part I agree. Having just finished season 6 (DDK) I can safely say that season was much, much worse than I remember.

 

To my surprise, however, was how I enjoyed season 5 the second time around. I remember hating that season when it aired. I would have loved for Dex to end up with Lumen instead of Hannah at the end. It would have made so much more sense. Yes, she was a highly annoying character for the first third of the season, but I believe she became my favorite Dexter bimbo.... much better than Lila, Hannah, the cashier in Nebraska (wtf was that about?) or maybe even Rita (who was a total nag before she left the show). The way Lumen left kinda pissed me off at the end.

 

Season 4 is still the best, imo. 3 and 6 are tied for worst.

I just think it was the Miguel character that killed it for me. He got on my nerves worse than Lila.

 

As far as being goofy, I kinda enjoy how it gets goofy at times to remind the audience that it is a dark comedy at its core. I think they got away from that in 5-7, then brought back a little in season 8.

I liked Brother Sam. One of the most pointless characters in Dexter history was probably Masuka's daughter.

 

Or the guy that was with Batista's daughter lol.

 

 

Obviously it started going down hill after 4.  However I actually liked Ray Stevenson's character and the chemistry with Dex and him was pretty cool.   He was a good bad guy.

 

They screwed up with the show, they should have had him on the run early, like season 5 or 6 and change locations maybe overseas or something.

I never watched the show until this past week, I'm at s3e7...so thanks for the spoiler alert...

 

btw Rita went on a power trip as soon as her husband died and thought she could control Dex....can't stand her....glad to read she dies.

      So answer the question. Why did Chark and Hurst have the same metrics (go look them up, I did... and one was actually worse in LA) with Justin Herbert? Why did Mingo have the same metrics with Dak? You're right, there is a common denominator, just not the one you're trying to make.  Why could DJ Moore get open with Bridgewater, Allen, Cam 2.0, Darnold, Baker, Williams, Bagent? I'll answer the question for you - because he is a good WR unlike Chark/Hurst/Mingo.

      I mean I just don't understand the argument. Baker and Sam both have been pro bowl QBs post their time here. And you just said yourself that is due to him having a damn good roster around him and they are well coached. You're even saying the bad baker is still there somewhere, but he is in a good organization with good roster and coaching that they are getting the best out of him. Why does Baker and Sam get all that benefit of the doubt but when it comes to Bryce it must be a BY9 problem, not an org or team problem?  Hell I got a guy below you arguing with me that Chark/Hurst/Mingo sucked because Bryce wouldn't throw them open. It's ridiculous how far the stretch goes.

      Correct.  It’s really hard to get open in the NFL when opposing defenses gameplan and cheat coverage/routes on all your players because they know your QB can’t make certain throws/plays.   magically no one that comes to Carolina can get open or make plays with the ball in their hands…..it’s like there is one singular common dominator to it all.  BY makes playing defense way too easy.   NFL players are too good to allow one side to cheat coverage and not respect all the potential threats of a route  so you can dial up a great play.  But if corners and safeties just cheat coverage and know X and Y happening on route/threats….getting open gets hard when they just play it one way.  Getting open has a lot to do with the different threats a WR can pose on a given play.
