We finished watching the second season of Dexter (thank you Netflix) and I have to say I enjoyed it much more than the first season. Naturally, the first season had to set up the Dexter universe, however I think that the stories were a little too neat and tidy (like the Ice Truck Killer’s victims). It just seemed like Dexter was a little too unreal and all his problems were solved too easily.
In season two Dexter himself became way more real. It was actually exciting to see him come a little unhinged and unpredictable. The Lila character was a great addition and she really had a great effect on Dexter.
All that said … the ending was really disappointing. Of course we hope Dexter won’t get caught. But there’s nothing wrong with unfinished story lines. There’s nothing wrong with unanswered questions. However everything got wrapped up neat and tidy. A little too neatly and easily.
