Lead actor Michael C. Hall cited the bad finale as one of the reasons he agreed to the sequel project in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople found the way [the] show left things pretty unsatisfying, and there\u2019s always been a hope that a story would emerge that would be worth telling,\u201d Hall told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thedailybeast.com\/michael-c-hall-wants-to-make-up-for-that-dexter-finale?ref=home\">The Daily Beast<\/a> ahead of the sequel\u2019s premiere. \u201cI include myself in the group of people that wondered, \u2018What the hell happened to that guy?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Now that the second series finale has aired, long-time fans finally have their answer, but it looks like they aren\u2019t happy about it.<\/p>\n<p>Spoiler alert: Spoilers ahead for the season finale of \u201cDexter: New Blood.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The proof of everyone\u2019s displeasure is in the ratings. Currently, the finale episode \u201cSins of the Father\u201d has a 4.6 overall rating, making it the lowest rated episode in the entire franchise \u2013 including the original finale that everyone hated. And this comes after previous \u201cNew Blood\u201d episodes received scores in the range of 8-9. <\/p>\n<p>So, what happened?&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In the finale, Dexter dies after convincing his teenage son Harrison to shoot him. This happens after Dexter decides he\u2019s beyond redemption after killing outside his \u201ccode of ethics,\u201d or set of rules he uses to determine who is morally acceptable to kill. Harrison kills his father then escapes with the aid of police chief Angela Bishop (Julia Jones), who is Dexter\u2019s ex.<\/p>\n<p>Hall stands by the showrunner\u2019s decision to kill Dexter. \u201cSome people will have predicted it, and some will be shocked by it,\u201d the actor told the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/entertainment-arts\/tv\/story\/2022-01-08\/dexter-new-blood-michael-c-hall-finale\">Los Angeles Times<\/a>. \u201cSome people will accept it, some people will reject it. I think it will be difficult for people to grapple with his fate given that he is someone they have spent a lot of time with and have a lot of affection for\u2014at least in some cases.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe way the season concludes is one that resonates with me,\u201d Hall continued. \u201cIt feels justifiable. As upsetting as it may be, I hope audiences will appreciate the resonance of Dexter dying this way at the hands of his son.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fans were mostly annoyed that the series brought Dexter back just to kill him in the end, and they don\u2019t believe Harrison is a strong enough character to pick up the slack.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSuddenly, Dexter throws away a lifetime of rules and procedures and caution and extreme intelligence and acts like an idiot in order for the writers to bring conclusion. Cheap. Lazy. Unnecessary,\u201d one IMDb reviewer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt13280476\/reviews?ref_=tt_urv\">wrote<\/a>. \u201cThey should have just left it alone!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll I\u2019ll say is that Dexter is truly a record breaking TV show, it\u2019s one of a kind. Because it\u2019s one of the only shows to have TWO absolutely AWFUL endings that everybody universally hates,\u201d another reviewer agreed. \u201cWriters, you should all hang your heads in shame.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
