The original Dexter series had grown stale from a cast standpoint and eventually the various stories of the people surrounding Dexter grew to become one of the most tiring, and weakly executed, aspects of the show, so giving everything a fresh coat of paint was awesome. Setting Dexter up in a completely new environment, with a whole new supporting cast (plus some well done moments with David Zayas' Batista), was a great choice, though only a few members of the ensemble got to squeak through as actual characters while the rest just played the quirky backdrop game. It was meant to hammer home that Harrison had a similarly styled Dark Passenger, when in fact he didn't (and it wound up being a crucial tipping point in the finale). It was better than, say, John Lithgow's return as Trinity for the quick Season 4 bathtub flashback, which, when you think about it, was all done for misdirection purposes.

For the most part, Ghost Deb was well executed. Plus, there was the terrific beat in Episode 9, "The Family Business," where Deb said "please don't" right before Dexter told Harrison about the murders.

Like the way she existed in the first episode, just lovingly by Dexter's side most of the time (which was repeated during his death), or how she helped Dexter work his own son's high school crime scene in Episode 4, "H is for Hero." Yes, there were times she just acted the same way Ghost Harry did and was a source of constant warning/nagging, but other times she was used to make a huge impact. The use of Jennifer Carpenter's Deb now as Dexter's new ghost, his revived conscience if you will, was mostly effective. We were also given a Dexter who was - like we found him way back at the beginning of Season 2 - unable to kill (as demonstrated by an inability to pull the trigger while hunting). The series never quite explained how Dexter, now "Jim Lindsay," was able to tamp down his Dark Passenger, as the old series seemed to make it clear it was a craving that would always return, rather forcefully, but perhaps the lack of temptation in this frozen postcard of a town was the key factor. Yes, Dexter did give up his killer ways in honor of Deb and all those he'd inadvertently hurt, while spending much of his alone time with a solemn, mostly-quiet phantom version of his late sister.

So what all went down? Well, apparently a few years after Dexter's (thankfully off-screen) lumberjack life, he made his way to snowbound, isolated Iron Lake, N.Y., for a humble small town life free of murder. Overall, aside from a few meandering episodes that dabbled in the show's old frustrating delay tactics, it worked really well and its new, improved ending was poignant, fitting, and haunting in all the ways the 2013 one wasn't. This frosty years-later revival was designed to be a follow-up season (at a leaner 10 episodes) that was both a fairly obvious attempt by Showtime at a finale re-do but also one that most fans welcomed after almost a decade of being bummed out about a once-great series being marred by a bad finish.
