Cheers: Dexter's Killer Finale
Jaime Murray and Michael C. Hall by Randy Tepper/Showtime
Cheers to
Dexter for finishing its second season with a flourish. Michael C. Hall's "Bay Harbor Butcher" lived to slay another day after his crazy ex-lover Lila murdered his pursuer Sgt. Doakes - making it morally justifiable for Dex to off her. (I love a happy ending.) The skillfully executed episode capped a stellar year for Showtime, which just saw the Golden Globes recognize several of its series (although, sadly, not its best,
Brotherhood). Want proof Showtime is the new HBO?
Dexter's finale was funnier and more entertaining than Ricky Gervais' bloated, dispiriting
Extras swan song, which aired opposite it on HBO. In short:
Dexter kills.
