Obviously I meant "Season 7" in the plot description. No need for 200 comments telling me. 👍
Still think your laguerta ending is awesome
The Ray Speltzer arc and episode in his haunted house always stands out to me. Kinda feels like they mighta had a different director for that episode . It also might be one of the most “horror” themed episodes we’ve had, and I love that scene of dexter screaming right before he kills him lol
Isaak Sirko was so badass!
He takes one chip from Dexter's plate when confronting him.
Then when he leaves, he leaves a $100 bill just "For the chip" 😂
Yeah, so amazing. Really?
I really dug Isaac Sirko’s character/villain. I thought it was a shame he & Dexter couldn’t continue their semi-evolving friendship. I’d give this season a 7/10
Yeah, I wished Isaak and Dexter had become lovers.
@@dashriprock8596 same
This season was far better than 6, really the ddk plotline felt very dragged
Another boring big bad. Slightly better than Travis Marshall. Why repeat the same formula when you have so much material to work with.
Dexter felt okay to leave his only son with good old Hannah McKay the poisoner for 7 years.
Best thing about season 7. Batista got his restaurant 🤣
4:48 Apparently Louis was originally supposed to be a Brian copycat but due to a combination of the actor getting a part in a play and Michael C Hall finding the idea of 2 serial killers in the same department unbelievable they just made him a nerd who hated Dexter for not liking his game then had Isaak kill him.
Honestly , louis being a copycat serial killer, who idolises the "bay harbor butcher" would have made more sense and wld have been more of an interesting storyline
@@prabhatsingh7577 Nah.Tbh it just seems way to unrealistic.And would be having a lot of arcs going on at once like c hall said
That sux. Honestly Louis was a really good side story that they threw away.
I really enjoyed everything about this season other than the Hannah storyline. To me, it felt too similar to Lilah from Season 2: A woman who understands Dexter and encourages his Dark Passenger, but he can't be with her because she's evil. The only difference is that Dexter assumed Lilah was innocent when he first hooked up with her, whereas he knew right from the start that Hannah had killed people. I wasn't a fan of him sparing a known murderer and looking the other way while she kills more innocents. Seemed out of character.
I also wasn't keen on him killing Hannah's father. The guy was a jerk, but didn't meet the standards for the code. Part of the fun of Dexter is seeing how he deals with situations when the antagonist doesn't meet the code and he can't kill them (Doakes, Lewis), so it felt like they took an uncharacteristic easy way out here.
wasn't keen on him lying, using and gaslighting deb when trying to cover for hannah when she had tried to kill deb. that seemed out of character. he killed his bro for that. also he used her till the end to aide and abed that bitch at debs actual home. i could never believe that because dex said from the start if he had feelings for someone, it would be for deb. he wouldn't treat her like garbage then abandon her on top of it. in the second episode of season 1 he postpones his kill night just to help her.
Isaak Sirko was an interesting character. Always felt Ray Stevenson would have made a great Victor Von Doom if ever brought to film in a proper way.
Too bad he was Punisher in a sequel most somehow forget 😂😂😂
Deb killed Laguerta to keep Dexter from doing it, like Harry said "you've never done a kill like this before" to kill a completely innocent person, i mean, we know that's not entirely true, he killed the photographer that he was wrong about and that guy in the bathroom after Rita died and a few others that are questionable in regards to "the code" but Deb doesn't know that at this point in the story. In Deb's mind, if Dexter kills Laguerta, Dexter meets the requirements of the type of people he kills, so he would be destroying himself, so to kill Laguerta is saving Dexter. It's not much of a stretch or that hard to understand, in the heat of the moment it is plausible.
The guy on the bathroom could be seen as self defense since the guy was technically threatening Dexter first
That's the way I saw it as well.
Dexter also killed Oscaar Prado whi was an innocent
22:46 That was one part I couldn't buy. Laguerta, who only got where she was through kissing ass and betraying people to advance her career and tried to take credit for solving cases from actual good cops suddenly becoming a great detective and finding out Dexter's the Bay Harbour Butcher.
Tbf she did always have her suspicions that The Bay Harbour Butcher was still out there, the only reason she dropped it in the first place was because her career got threatened. Her finding the blood slide was just what she needed to be pushed over the edge.
While she wasn’t the greatest she wasn’t terrible. She knew Prada killed her lawyer friend. Dexter just got him first.
I don't think she was a great detective so much as the fact that no one else was looking into it.
She was actually the 4th person in the department to find out or come close. Doakes figured it out, Quinn also could have figured it out, and maybe even did, who really knows. Debra figures it out, and only then Laguerta comes to the party. That's still good but it doesn't make her a great detective.
Also in season 3 she did figure out Miguel Prado killing Ellen wolf...so maybe we should give her some credit.
@@hbk425 I get your point but to say Deb “figured it out” is a bit of an over statement. She had not one bit of suspiciousness and just happened to stumble in Dexter killing Travis Johnston. I agree “some” credit to Laguerta is due. It comes from the place that she knew it couldn’t have been Doakes to be the BHB.
Whats your thoughts on Matthews knowing what Dexter is? Did he piece things together himself or did he just always know due due his friendship with Harry and Dr. Vogel? I don't think they explored Matthews as much as they should have.
12:43 That would have been quite dark. I'd imagine Deb saying something like "I'm sorry Maria" then shutting the shipping container basically condemning Laguerta to be killed by Dexter.
Imo Season 7 was the best season after the first 4.
Better than s3 ??
LOVE Issac Sirko! He made this season and the scene at the bar with Dexter was one of the best of the whole series.
Season 7 is great.
The Speltzer chase scene was awesome
Dexter imitating Speltzer shouting "FUCK" was funny.
Season 7 is one of my favorite seasons. I ranked it 4th place
I’m on season 7 right now and so far I love it. I think it’s a lot better then 6 already
💯 It gave me some hope for S8, however misplaced it seemed to be.
Yes season 6 just sucked ass , i mean the ddk timeline really felt dragged
I think Deb became downright irredeemable in the season, long before she shot Laguerta. In my opinion, her point of no return was when she blamed Dexter for Rita’s death. If you want to stretch it, it was his fault, but seeing how absolutely crushed by it he was and then she blames him for it, the death of his spouse and being left with 3 kids. Honestly I liked Lumen but when Deb got mad at him for him for dating her right after Rita, like damn, he’s been through a lot, he deserves the chance to be happy.
He should have fucking killed him when he had the chance. Just like Dexter said
I find half of this season great (Debra, Isaac, Laguerta) and half total crap (Hannah). Hannah is a very poorly written character and a prime example of everything that went wrong with Dexter after season 4.
Why?
Agreed.
@@JohnSmith-wh2ob Because Hannah was a boring Mary Sue. She poisoned innocent people for kicks yet was portrayed as a good person killing to survive. Dexter goes from having no interest in her and wanting to kill her to completely obsessed after fucking her on his table. She tried to kill Deb out of jealousy that Dexter cared about his adopted sister more than her, a forced backstory involving her abusive dad was introduced to try and make viewers feel sorry for her and she used Dexter to get rid of evidence a reporter had that she killed with Wayne Randall. At least Season 7 is the only later season where Dexter goes back to his proper "bad guy killing worse people for selfish reasons" characterisation from 1-4 rather than the hero he's treated as in 5, 6, 8 and New Blood.
I love the attire you wear in these Dexter videos. Looks pretty cool imo
its the dexter killing outfit lol
but i agree, cody rocks it!
“Jamie might as well be his wife”
I think the reason she’s so understanding is because Dexter’s wife is dead and he’s a single parent. She probably thinks he’s leaving the house late to get laid or try and find another girlfriend or something. If she was dating Dexter it’d be Rita with season 2-4 all over again “Where are you?/Where are you going?/What are you doing?/etc.”
8:25 Hannah was the worst part of the last 2 seasons. She's an evil poisoner who kills people for kicks yet is portrayed as a perfect saint supposedly "killing to survive", her and Dexter's relationship is out of nowhere and the show trying to force viewers to feel sorry for her was pathetic.
Out of the post Season 4 era, season 7 is the best in my opinion.
season 5 I think is very similar level and only isn’t as good cuz it followed the greatest season but 5 and 7 are good 6 and 8 were not
Agreed or tied with 5.
I always wondered if Tom Mathews knew what/who dexter really was
Lewis was set up to be the main antagonist, but from what I've read, Michael C. Hall didn't think it was believable for Lewis to pose as a genuine threat to Dexter and when he voiced his concern the writers also agreed and changed the script ultimately making him a minor nuisance. I'm curious what the additional storyline of Lewis would have been. He knew about Dexter being a serial killer and he was a computer wiz, so I'm guessing it would have been a more elaborate version of what we got. He would have had the power of black mail. I'm guessing the argument was, what's to prevent Dexter from tracking him down, since he has access to him and torturing him until he removes any potential blackmail or whatever.
Think they made the right choice
IMO, erase Hannah, focus more on Deb, Isaac and Laguerta
Even though the Issac Sirko storyline gets closed out at the end of episode 9, I’ve always consider him the main villain of the season (even though there's a lot of potential threats lurking around Dexter at all times) and his entire story is awesome. He posses as a genuine threat to Dexter and had Dexter not had that divine intervention moment of dropping his keys, he was a goner. Sirko hands the love baton to Dexter in a sense, which carries over to his relationship with Hannah, in which he kills her father and ultimately turns her in... and the Laguerta build up comes in down the stretch. I can’t stress enough how good this season is. Even the little stories feel like they could have been milked more, but then it would have taken away from the awesomeness we got.
Season 7 is one of the top 3 seasons of Dexter without a doubt (2,4,7). Season 1 is still an excellent season that does everything right for an introductory season, but those 3 seasons are much more involved, which becomes much more apparent on re-watches. Season 7 breaks the cookie cutter final boss model and takes it to another level. Everyone overrates season 4 because the Trinity killer is so memorable and it ends in such epic fashion, but it's a much slower paced season with significantly more lag time than seasons 2 & 7. Even I've been guilty of overrating it because the note it leaves you on, but when you re-watch the seasons, which I've done countless times and remain present throughout and make note of enjoyment time and lag time, there is no way that season 4 is close to the best season. It's hands down season 2. Season 2 blows the shows wad, while that may or may not have been a smart move by the show, it's not a flaw on the season for having too much goodness at once. It's amazing that the show continued to produce at such a high level after season 2... however season 3 suffered. Anyways, season 7 comes in under challenging circumstances... after everything's been done on Dexter and delivers a season that's almost on the level of season 2.
Season 7 is one of the best seasons of Dexter, but one thing that bugs me is Deb struggling as much as she does on the issue of whether or not to turn Dexter in, when she already proved that she wouldn't when she let the vigilante killers go at the end of season 5. It's the same principle and since Dexter is family, there's no way in hell she would even entertain the idea, since she gave the same courtesy to two strangers... no Speltzer necessary. I understand her struggle with it on a personal level and finding Dexter's enjoyment of it creepy and I don't mind her trying to help him overcome his need, because her fear would be based on not wanting her brother to get caught, rather than the ethics of it. it also bugs me that the Lumen thing barely comes up and only comes up after the fact in which Deb refers to the chick with the goofy name. Remember..... the chick with the goofy name, who you felt for to the nth degree during the barrel girls case, who you let go. This should have never been an after thought, it should have been Dexter's central point and no way would Deb refer to it with a negative connotation. It confirms to me that the Michael C Hall Julia Stiles affair wasn't just a rumor after all even though the ending of season 5 pretty much confirmed it in the hasty manor they closed out her character with no mention of her since other than a reference to her goofy name.
weird how hall seemed to have so much influence on the scripts. his personal life should be separate from work. professionalism 101. if he was uncomfortable with jen or julia, he should not have mixed business with pleasure in the first place. i feel like jen might have channeled some of her real life anger toward him through deb with her endless frustration. even i wanted her to stfu or get shut up or just leave town. after seeing deb get in dexter's face repeatedly, anyone who says he's a monster is just wrong. a monster would've dealt with that but not once did he touch her or threaten her.
Nothing weird about deb referring to Lumen's name negatively. Liddy also said she had a 'stupid fckin name.' And if MCH had an affair with her? Ugh.
Hannah is just the worst, she's the clearest indication of the failures of the writers in the last two seasons to have Dexter behave as a coherent character. It makes no sense that she even survives her encounter with Dexter let alone that she becomes romantically involved with him. He spares her solely because he's horny? wtf? He already had that experience with Lila and he saw where it ends. Dexter wasn't even really interested in sex until he formed a close, emotional relationship with Rita. It's just nonsense, it totally ruins Dexter's character.
Thank you
As much as I liked Speltzer someone online argued he was too comically grandiose for Dexter in a similar vane to the Doomsday killers. I mean once upon a time the Ice Truck Killer was the most serious threat they had faced. But apparently this whole time this guy has been making underground mazes and has only been heard of now is a little hard to believe? Like I think they said he'd done it for years. I dunno I think I'm nitpicking a bit. Maybe it's just a bit of a high escalation for me from his normal killers.
I loved the container scene and i think Deb couldnt have turned her back because she ´ needed ´ to do it in order to get on with it. Because otherwise it would only have been dexters fault and she wouldnt have been able to move on. But by doing it, she put herself in a situation where she didnt had a choice to stick with him. Thats the way i saw it back then
PS Although I totally understand why they had Deb shoot LaGuerta but agree completely that Deb leaving the shipping container so Dexter can do what he has to do is much more in character & still takes the story to the same narrative but really liked this season (esp Spelrzer & Isaac Sirko storylines)
I think they should've had laguerta pull out a secret gun or go for Dexter's knife and have Debra shoot her. That would've been believable as if she just reacted on instinct instead of having to force herself to pull the trigger.
Your laguerta ending is razors edge good
Horrific but most of all emotionally effective
I just really wanted season 7 to set up Dexter's Mob Hitman career for a vastly superior season 8
i have one nitpick about season 7 & the beginning... is laguerta asking about the blood slide, and masuka being like "we never used slides for blood"
WHEN IN BOTH SEASON 4 AND 5 DEXTER IS SHOWN ON THE JOB (either on field or in lab) TO DO BLOOD (ANALYSIS) SLIDES
on season 4 was him doing it on the job and lundy walks in right as he's admiring the slide too....
I know it's knit-picking, but I can't buy that Dexter was the only one in a scene full of cops and detectives to think of checking the turn signal switch for fingerprints on the car where Anderson was killed.
I really liked your idea of Laguerta pulling a gun on Dexter at which point Deb comes in and has to decide at which point she shoots Laguerta, but as it stands why would Deb take it upon herself to murder Laguerta when Dexter already had it covered? It doesn't detract from the season, but that part has always frustrated me, because it doesn't make any sense.
I agree, Deb should have just leave the container, leave Laguerta alone with Dexter.
Issak Sirko = Doaks. Both start off as enemies, then Dexter kills to save their lives, a kind of bromance develops, then both characters are killed by someone else. Very clever writing.
Just got done with rewatching season 7 and loved it.
love your video reviews Cody!!
I struggle whether I like Hannah or Rita more, their relationships with Dexter and totally different but just looking at them as Dexter's love interests, I struggle
Hannah was better but the best for him was Lumen I wish they hadn’t ditched her after one season though it makes sense the way it’s written why she left
@@JohnSmith-wh2ob it’s funny how two people can have completely opposite views of the same thing. I can’t stand Lumen. At all. Here’s how I summarize Lumen
Dexter- “Lumen do not put your hand in that fire it will hurt I’m trying to help you”
Lumen-“THROWS BOTH HANDS IN THE FIRE “DONT TELL ME WHAT TO DO” as she screams and cries in agony.
I loved Hannah. She was hot. Lol
@@CharlieDexter99 Hannah was hot but Lumen was too they chose great actresses for them
@@JohnSmith-wh2obHannah being better than Rita is a joke she’s is what brought the season down there was no need for her character
I loved this season, but hated the ending. I feel like Dexter just suddenly ditching the code and deciding he needs to kill laguerta and then debra being the one to do it was so out of character for the both of them. I think it would've made more sense if they tried to stop her some other way
Disagree. The whole point of the season was to show Dexter having the potential to lose his dark passenger and Laguerta was the last obstacle to him living a normal life
I enjoyed this season more than season 6. But 1-4 are my favorites they are the most engaging imo.
the unfocussed parts, especially the story line of quinn and his girlfriend, make parts of this season kinda boring and dragging, but utter agreement on isaac sirko and how interesting the development was. i don't think it is almost a shame that i got cut short... it is a shame. not like "uh, they totally messed up!", but rather in an organic way like "it would've been great, maybe it wasn't meant to be".
season 7 episode 5, 47:50 my fave part of the season 💀 to me it shows me how crazy dexter can be at times lolol
I thought I was the only one. He is a great villain, and I loved the entirety of the Dexter/Isaac relationship, from the enemies to friend.
Rey speltzer (sp) was kinda interesting with his minotaur kills... I kinda wish we saw more of him. I did enjoy Isaac Sirko... I originally thought Viktor was his son though.
Read and review the books.
Isaac Sirko was definitely the best part. Too bad his story went nowhere.
I wouldn't say it went nowhere. It added to his confliction/understanding of his relationship with Hannah.
@@CodyLeachYT His death just felt underwhelming and abrupt is all.
@@CodyLeachYT He was apparently supposed to be alive longer but because Ray Stevenson got another role Isaak was killed off earlier. He was supposed to be the one Dexter used to lure Laguerta to the shipping container which makes me think the whole "George betrays Isaak and sends hitmen after him forcing Isaak to work with Dexter to kill them" plot was added so Isaak could be killed off earlier by George. So they replaced Isaak with Hector Estrada the gangster who ordered the murder of Dexter's mother who'd been mentioned as Santos Jimenez's boss in Season 2.
Deb shooting Laguerta makes no scense and what was really stupid is Deb breaking down and sobbing next to Laguerta...
Hi Cody, where is the S8 review? 🤔 I'm dying to finally hear all your thoughts about it since you hate it so much lol 😆 but anyway in regards to this season I thought that was a great review and I agreed with the majority of your thoughts (except for when it comes to Hannah...anyone who tries to murder Deb not once but *twice* is firmly someone I'm not a fan of 😒). But yeah, I couldn't agree more about Issac Sierko (sp?) being a phenomenal "villian" and he really just made the season for me. Incredible actor and he played really well against Dexter too, there was really good chemistry btwn them. He was def my 2nd favorite villain after Trinity. And as for everything you said about Deb shooting LaGuerta...man I seriously wish you'd been writing for the show. I absolutely loved the alternate scenario you gave where LaGuerta has a gun on Dexter and that's why Deb shoots him. It makes soooo much more sense than Deb just basically shooting her for no reason! Like you said she could've easily just left & let Dex kill her, it probably would've been enough to eat her up inside knowing she did nothing to prevent it. But to have her shoot LaGuerta who was sedated, had no weapon, and wasn't a threat in that moment doesn't make any sense whatsoever, you totally called that one! I really liked this season overall though too.
The season 8 review is up
Mr leach,
Will these get ranked after the upcoming season?
Yes
@@CodyLeachYT hell yea can’t wait for your ranking and the new season!!
25:21 made me crack up laughing 😆
Stroviski is a babe!!! If anyone has ever seen the show "CHUCK" then they know Dexter was a lucky lucky man that season. I dont think she ever got that naked on the table for Chuck!!! lol
Can't wait for the new season next week man I'm so excited Great Review! Cody
Same here almost on season 8 right now as we speak

I am with you with many of your points rewatching season 7 few days ago. I continued to season 8 to the 2nd or 3rd episode and the moment Vogel said to Dexter you cannot kill me because I don't fit your code, I simply walked away closed it and delete all Dexter. I rewatched all Dexter after the messy season 9 and for me it is the same anxiety feeling I got with a bad ending. Debra coming to kill La Guerta it reminds me of a youtube video that said the show Dexter doesn't understand moral dilemmas which should be upon the decision of Dexter, not having another female saving him. And I actually grew empathy for La Guerta, even though she is all politics, she is one good smart woman, they tried to make her that she is just a sneaky bitch, but she is smarter than Debra, and they just put her down like nothing...... And then cliche Debra doing all those messed up stuff to punish herself? it is like everybody are punishing themselves for Dexter, and Dexter seems always fine. It is kind of annoying. You have a Dexter that feels glimpses of emotions and then puff, in big moral and important decisions we all wanted to see what he will do finally Dexter is saved by women..... come on. And then at season 9, when you have no women saving Dexter he finally kills an innocent. What happen to the code? not killing La guerta? He seems to forget the code pretty easily 3 times already. He is so attached to his life, to the mask he wears, that he is willing to kill a very smart woman who got him! And over there I have a moral problem with that and the show failed me. I think it would be much more satisfying for Dexter to face jail time for his crimes and somehow work with the police as a profiler since he has a talent for sniffing killers. That would be for me much better storyline and I would love to see a Dexter dealing with moral dilemmas by HIMSELF.
I am at an age with some maturity and I don't like Debra being in love with Dexter just because a psychologist put it in her head.... like this show must really hate psychologists. Debra emotionally is all over the place and its gross. Someone who developed erotic feelings for her brother just because a psychologist took her there.... doesn't really deserves to be Lieutenant. She is emotionally annoying. She annoyed me all the time after she had on her head the whole "in love" situation..... make me dislike her a lot. So after that I simply didn't care anymore.
Some plotlines felt forced because of what they were trying to do in the future season......Deb being in love with Dex was not to make her feel bad it was to completely justify Deb not taking action against Dex
They made Deb kill Laguerta for :-
1. Deb can feel what it's like to kill
2. Dex and Vogel can show the audience through Deb....why Dexter's killing isn't that bad
3. If Deb knew Dex killed Laguerta......she would have never expected him
4. They wanted to keep the code intact.....killing laguerta would have broken it and we would have demanded Dex to die in season 8
All this because they wanted Dexter to go unpunished in the final season
I'm not saying these were good plotlines.....I'm just explaining the reason writers wrote it
I do think this is a great season but I really don't care for Hannah I like the actress a lot but I would have rather had lumen stay on the show, an i don't like what they do with the Doakes flashbacks.
Punisher: Warzone is such an underrated movie.
Was bit unbelievable that Dexter did a kill in an airport.
Hey man any plans to review Antlers. I know you love some good practical effects and I heard this movie may have the best practical effects in the last 10 years. Anyways great review man.
you are right, i don;t but it either.
Season 7 was great after the weak two prior seasons. Then with 8 back to the bad seasons lol. Cant wait for 9
Intro said season 8 lol
11:17 I agree I don’t 100 percent buy that shed do that I think she would do what you said because she’s done that before in season 5 when she found dexter and lumen she was basically like alright do your thing I’m leaving now I don’t want a part in this which is what they should’ve had her do when killing laguaerta and it would’ve still driven her to the dark side even more
good review
Next Cody has to do the season that makes you feel like its main villain is sawing your brain out like he does his victims.
I actually really enjoyed this season overall.
The series could've ended in 2016 on the 10th anniversary of the show in season 11
This is my favorite season
I may not agree with you on lewis/louis green story line, but i do agree that this season was far far better than season6. Season 6 was atrocious, everything felt stretched & having parallel threats of Issak and Laguerta really helped this season, season 7 is up there. The major negative i cld think of was quinn's story, he seems to be too smart to fall for a stripper honestly, but hey i am not complaining. Other minor negatives include tried and tested formulae of Deb ending somehow to the point when dex is ready to kill ...like how
I love all the seasons of Dexter & most of the storylines but Debra being a super cop & accepting her brother for what he’s done & not to bring him in was a little hard for me to take 😬.
I always liked Quinn & that he was involved a little more in the later seasons, still a entertaining season but not a favourite.
i never got why Deb had to shoot Laguerta like I understand that she chose Dexter in that moment but she didn't really need to be the one to shoot her imagine how much better the scene would be if it went something like this. The scene would play out how it does in the show already but instead of having the moment where she shoots Laguerta have her slowly put her gun down and just walk out the shipping container while bawling her eyes and and repeatedly swearing (as Deb would) and then she hears Dexter's saw start going from inside the shipping container and she just completely loses it at that point realizing the gravity of the choice she just made
Edit: I just got to the part where you basically say what I just did lol still would've been better than what we got though
All Dexter's sole mates were all weird broken woman except Rita
Just watched it. It was really good! The 5th was bad and 6h only ok, but 7 was actually good.
Concerning the side characters, they were never more than silly side kicks.
Concerning Harrison/Jaime, I feel like we just follow Dexter in the exciting moments. No need to see all the family man action.
Deb shoulda got an emmy for this season.
Been rewatching Dexter since new blood ended...just like every other fan.
Season 7 is awesome, the best since season 4, and possibly the last good season of the show.
Actually there are 11 great episodes and 1 that really drags the quality to good. That's episode 9, helter skelter. I mean, everyone starts acting dumb here. Dexter kills an assassin on the shooting range. Isaak, who is supposed to be the fucking Terminator, just throws his gun away to get gunned down easily by that Koshka dude who ran the strip club.
In my initial viewing, I did not like Hannah a lot but I now really like her S7 character. The idea that Dexter cannot kill someone who fits the code because he falls in love is actually interesting and well executed. I don't understand why so many people cannot stand Dexter falling for someone. I mean, the show, has repeatedly said that he isn't asexual or something, and Hannah is smoking hot!
Finally, this set up a ton of things for season 8, all of which conveniently went down the drain, as is so often the case with Dexter. I remember thinking Dexter killing Hannah's dad was going to be a pivotal moment and might lead to his eventual downfall as it was one of the first concious kills where the code wasn't met and Dexter did not show much remorse. Sad, that wasn't the case!
0:13 *Season seven
Even if this is my favorite season i really hated hannah
I hated how they ended Isaak's story, just one shot from effing George. Stupid. He was easily the best part about this season.
I haven't heard anybody say this was a bad season. I love this season
Hannah ruined this show for me. Truly terrible character imo
@@Jim-pq9pm why?
@@JohnSmith-wh2ob Not her, but her effect on Dexter. He became a sloppy fool in love and I thought that that was ridiculous. She had no place being there
@@Jim-pq9pm I mean him falling in love was fine it was shown throughout the show his emotional range did exist he wasn’t “the perfect psychopath” as Vogel coined him so him being able to have a real relationship worked I just didn’t like how it completely dropped his intelligence when Dexter was superior intelligently for a majority of the shows run
@@JohnSmith-wh2ob I didn't like it. Hannah is a despicable person. She's murdered a number of innocent people for fun and for convenience. Plus I disagree with your assessment of Dexter. Him "falling in love" was the worst aspect post S4. Him and Deb's interactions were infinitely more interesting than Hannah's
I thought Dexter was gonna tell Deb the entire truth when she sees him killing Travis but he chooses to play the "I snapped" card and I IMMEDIATELY lost all interest. IMO, they topped the Season 4 ending (Season 6 is boring but JUST Deb finding out I feel is better than Rita dying) and they stopped the momentum dead in its tracks. I've been watching your reviews after every season finale, Cody, thanks for all these. I just lost interest in this one 😂
Edit: I'm gonna try to catch all of the important moments of the Season 7 in order to watch Season 8 and catch your last review! 🤘🔥
Great review of season 7 of Dexter! Glad you like Hannah! I absolutely love her as a character! Loved that they brought Doakes back in the finale! The only thing I didn't like about season 7, is when they killed Mike off in the 1st episode! Season 7 is my 3rd favorite!
This season is a 7/10
I'm rewatching this review because after that season finale, every single fiber of my being hates it. I feel like Deb got done super dirty, she's not one of my favorite characters but holy crap, I do not buy her shooting LaGuerta. Could've shot Dexter in the knee, Season 8 could've been everything exploding but nope, she kills an innocent! She would never do that! Not matter how much love she has or whatever, she would face the consequences of her actions rather than turn into the one thing she doesn't want to be, a killer like Dexter. What the hell. I can't accept that.
This could have been a great season if not for Hannah. Her incredibly dull and forced romance with Dexter really brought everything down for me.
Yep. She sucked so bad.
All she should have been was one of the minor killers Dexter kills the episode they're introduced in.
@@Xehanort10 Exactly. The scene where Dexter has Hannah strapped to his table and is about to kill her, only to cut her free to have sex with her is laughably bad. I think her character is the main reason Season 7 tends to be so divisive among fans.
@@joshuanelson6795 that was the "Jump the shark" moment
Cody have you ever seen the movie love object with Desmond Harrington? That's the only thing I think I've seen him in besides Dexter and I thought it was a great little low budget horror movie
Can we all just agree that Dexter is a terrible dad. Let's be honest. And season 9 new blood confirms that Dexter is a shitty dad. He abandoned his son as well as Astor and Cody.
It was an okay season but not as good as the previous ones
1, 2, 4, 7. All brilliant seasons. The rest are decent to downright bad, 6 and 8 being obvious low points.
3 is way better than 7.
@@jakebiomask naw 3 wasn’t good at all. Miguel is a shitty character and I had zero interest in the skinner.
@@The_Buff_Guy LOL. Miguel was a fucking amazing character. Hannah was the worst character in Dexter history.
@@jakebiomask I don’t really care about Hannah, season 7 is great for reasons that don’t involve her. And Miguel never really interested me as a character.
@@The_Buff_Guy Hannah takes up half of season 7's story and episodes. Thats the problem. Debra/Isaac/Laguerta storylines that season were great. But Hannah brought it down.
I would like Jamie to be my wife. 🥰😍
"You either hate this season or love this season, ive never seen an in between"............. ive never seen anyone say anything other than "its trash".
Did you just start out the review by saying it was season 8? Lol
They weren't Russian. They were Ukrainian 😭😭
Bad writing on this season.
