When Did The Last Episode Of Dexter Air

Okay, picture this: it's a Sunday night. You've got your comfy pajamas on, a giant bowl of popcorn strategically placed, and the suspense is building. You’re about to settle in for what you think is the big finale.

But what exactly is ending? We're diving into the tangled web of "Dexter," specifically, when its original run decided to bow out (or, well, seemingly bow out!).

The Original Series Finale: "Remember the Monsters?"

So, when did the original Dexter bid adieu? Mark your calendars (or just scroll down, because I'm about to tell you!), it was September 22, 2013.

That's right, all those years ago. Seems like a lifetime, doesn’t it? Think of all the pop culture moments we’ve survived since then: the rise and fall of fidget spinners, the never-ending saga of superhero movies…the list goes on!

The episode itself was called "Remember the Monsters?". I’m going to be frank, it certainly made people remember it… for better or (mostly) worse. Let’s just say the ending was… divisive.

The Internet's Reaction: A Collective "Huh?"

The reaction to that finale? Let's just say if the internet was a volcano, it would have erupted with a lava of confusion and slight outrage. People had opinions.

Imagine waiting eight seasons for a satisfying conclusion, only to be served… well, let's not spoil it too much. But picture expecting a five-course meal and getting a slightly stale cracker. You’d feel something similar.

The ending led to countless memes, think pieces, and water cooler debates. Did Dexter do the right thing? Did the writers do the right thing? Was that lumberjack outfit a fashion statement? So many questions!

The "New Blood" Revival: A Second Chance?

But hold on! Just when you thought Dexter had hung up his kill suit for good, he came back! Like a zombie... but a smarter, more calculating zombie. With better hair.

Fast forward to 2021, and Dexter: New Blood graced our screens. Was this the redemption arc we were all craving? Did it erase the sins of the original finale?

Well, it certainly tried! It gave us a new setting, a new storyline, and a chance to see Dexter grapple with his past. It was like getting a sequel to your favorite book, hoping it doesn't ruin the original.

"Sins of the Father": The (Possibly) Real Ending

The finale of New Blood, titled "Sins of the Father," aired on January 9, 2022. Yes, less than two years ago!

This time, the ending was… well, different. Still divisive, perhaps, but in a different way. Let’s just say the stakes were higher, the emotions were rawer, and the blood… well, you know.

Whether you loved it or hated it, one thing's for sure: Dexter knows how to make an exit... or two. And how to keep us talking about it years later. It's like that friend who always knows how to stir the pot!

So, there you have it! The dates of Dexter's two (possible) finales. Now, go forth and rewatch (or avoid) at your own peril!

Just remember to stock up on snacks and maybe prepare for some strong feelings. You've been warned!
