Michael C. Hall returns as Dexter: Did everyone forget how infamously terrible the ending was?

nypost.com:

San Diego Comic-Con over the weekend, Showtime announced that “Dexter” star Michael C. Hall, 53, will join the cast of “Dexter: Original Sin.” And that’s not all, he’ll also star in another series called “Dexter: Resurrection.” For those who are keeping count, this brings the tally up to four “Dexter” shows: the original “Dexter” (which aired on Showtime from 2006-2013), the 2021 sequel series “Dexter: New Blood,” and now, the two upcoming shows “Dexter: Original Sin” and “Dexter: Resurrection.” This is three “Dexter” series too many.

And, it’s bizarre that these shows all exist. The original “Dexter” was a narrow, focused story about one man. It followed the titular character (Hall), a serial killer who targeted other killers.

To add extra intrigue, he also worked on his local police force, so there were times when his own colleagues nearly caught him.

At best, “Dexter” was slick, addictively watchable, and delivered vigilante justice in a morally gray, R-rated way. It scratched a similar itch to the superhero genre but felt more adult, edgy, and dangerous.It was a good show for its first four seasons, and then it went off the rails, culminating in a notoriously terrible ending.There were a number of ways in which “Dexter” could have wrapped up.
