Season finale drops tomorrow, no? But indeed, don’t hold your breath waiting for it to be mentioned on What’s On Tonight.

Wolf Like Me premise sounds like an alteration of that Drew Barrymore series, Santa Clarita Diet. 

Those Bastards, by releasing banger after banger, have conditioned my brain to release endorphines as soon as the logo appears on the screen.

I’m willing to give anything released by A24 a shot.

I assumed from the way that S8 ended and the fact that this was called the “series” finale that it would end with Dexter dying. I thought he might cause Harrison’s death directly or indirectly somehow prior and that he would have a true kill-or-be-killed showdown with Angela as Dexter the killer. I do have a hard time

I may have to stew on this more. The end itself, with Dexter letting Harrison kill him because Dexter himself would fit “The Code” is fine to me, it’s probably the best ending to his story I could come up with. But the steps to get him there weren’t great. Looking back, I’m not sure why Angela was so gung ho on

I loved this finale. It was so great to finally see dexter get the karma he has had coming for so long. I love the character and rooted for him even through most of this episode, but he is a monster. I have to really credit the show for making that turn so beautiful in the confrontation with Harrison at the end. In

I just couldn’t disagree more.   I wish it had ended with Dexter turning himself in, instead of turning his son into a murderer, and either showing a confrontation between a jailed Dex, and Angel, or setting it up so that we get that in a Season 2, as Dexter stands trial back in Miami.  I would have liked to see the

At first, I thought Dexter killing Logan was just a flash and it go back to him just sitting in the cell. I guess not.

Julia Jones’ Angela was singlehandedly smarter than the entire Miami police force, lol

It is a shame they teased a face-to-face between Batista and Dexter and never showed it.

Luckily they just got a new doctor, though he’s a little peculiar.

  • I have to admit, for all the shit I’ve talked about Batista, I actually wanted more Batista here. It was less than ideal to tease that interrogation and not deliver it.

That actually sounds better than I thought. My problem with Dexter started at the end of season 2, when Dexter stopped being the weirdo murderer and became the “hero” of the show. And more and more as the show went on he became framed as some sort of Batman figure.

This was a very up an down season, but this episode may have been the best series finale I have ever seen, at least top 5. It’s not perfect, but I really, really liked it. Her character made a lot of dumb decisions to make the plot work, but I think Julia Jones did a fantastic job as the chief. Most of the cast was

So... the oil tycoon in the first episodes was just what? A misdirection? A dropped plot?
Aslo while this ending wa better than the first, I’m kind of disappointed that Dexter ended things on his own terms. He never really had to face the social/legal consequences of his actions.

I don’t mind that they killed Dexter—I just assumed that would happen due to knowing what Clive Phillips wanted the main series to end, originally, which was Dexter being executed.

I am kind of upset with *how* they killed Dexter. Because it was set up that he was finally going to be held accountable for his actions,

I think having Dexter arrested would have been better. Having Harrison watch everything his dad did over the last couple of episodes really showed how Dexter’s life was sad and self-serving. As others have mentioned, having Harrison kill Dexter did not really end any sort of cycle of violence, if anything, it

The contrast is that Kurt was praising Harrison for causing harm to an innocent person, whereas Dexter was praising him for preventing any more innocent people from being harmed. I missed the repetition of these lines until you pointed it out, but I think they can still take on different meaning when used by Dexter

I’m still wondering how Dexter was getting around so well after having been shot in the leg.
