If I’m being completely honest, I prefer the old Dexter. Especially the cast/crew! I feel like they should’ve just left him dead if he was gonna die ’again’ in the new series. It’s still a good show, but just not as good as the old one. I think he could have manipulated the officers more, like saying that Kurt placed the screw at his house or something. If he could manipulate the whole homicide department in Metro, I’m pretty sure he could’ve done the same for just 2 people.
