    I used to love Dexter, but I can't forgive the tedious formula they can't seem to let go of. Dexter befriends a psychopath and ends up realizing that he's got to kill him or her in every single season.

If you can predict the end of the new season without having seen a single frame of it, it screams repetitiveness.… Expand

    The series is as compulsively watchable as ever, with Dexter's marriage, stepchildren, newborn son and stifling suburban life complicating his leisure time.

    Dexter’s life as a suburban dad feels claustrophobic, and the show has become repetitive and predictable.
