Two things have made me uncontrollably bawl in the last few years: the series finale of Dexter and cradling my cat in my arms right after he'd been euthanized. I still have a little coaster looking thing with an imprint of his paw print sitting on my desk. Much love, homegurl.

Dexter was a good show. The ending was cool too even though some losers didn’t like it

Have you seen Shrek 2?

I never finished Dexter. Quit in the 6th season. Got boring. Parts of that show really annoyed me too.

Like he's somehow damaged enough by one childhood trauma to have an insatiable bloodlust yet his dad can train him to hone it within the limits of some sort of conventional morality.

"Harry. The code. Harryyyyy"

Stfu

Also his dedication to his wife he wasn't even intimate with. Somehow it's just a strategic move to have a wife and kids as a serial killer to"blend in." Cause obviously if you're a serial killer, gone long hours of the night, the one thing you need in your life is a nagging wife you don't love wondering where you've been. Plus Dexter just strikes me as gay or asexual in general.

It was an entertaining show in its right... But yea certain aspects annoyed me throughout.

...

If I'm being honest, I don't think I've ever cried over a pet. Last two things I can remember crying over irl were a breakup at 24 or so and before that, being sent to live with my dad (being separated from my mom) at age 13.

Certain movies will make me cry. Top one that comes to my mind is La Vita E Bella.

SPOILERS for Dexter

Season 8 was a train wreck and much of that last episode was terrible as well but the writers at least knew how to mercilessly go for the heart strings with the ending. I swear to god I almost never cried at anything beyond getting vaguely misty-eyed for years before watching that but then it just opened the flood gates and they've never quite closed since. I'm kind of a weepy bitch sometimes now. I feel like if I ever met the actress who played Deb IRL I'd have some irrational breakdown like "OMG you're alive I'm so glad!"

Season 7 was god tier though.

They played cooled ambient music in the series finale iirc

Season 6 was pretty god awful but the season after that was my fav one. Dexter was inconsistent as **** but tops when it was good, and the very concept was about as realistic as superhero comics so you kinda just had to go with it. A sociopathic serial killer with a heart of gold simply requires suspension of disbelief.

I understand that but this didn't stop me from raging at certain parts

I like to understand my protagonist

Tony soprano, I understand. I felt he had a deep yet convincing persona.

Dexter, I just never quite understood wtf he was supposed to be thinking.

But yea maybe I'll finish it anyway since I'm only a couple seasons short.
