Sep 30, 2012 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… David Hinckley New York Daily News Top Critic Season 7 is arguably a bit light on plot... but it has plenty to keep you entertained. Apr 3, 2020 | Rating: 7/10 | Full Review… Julian White Starburst Now, however, in its seventh season, the genuine comedy has diminished and the routine of Dexter's kills and escapist-tricks has become monotonous. What's more, Dexter's moonlight lifestyle has become too unbelievable for the show to appear credible. Apr 3, 2020 | Full Review… Piers McCarthy Flickering Myth The show is succeeding, perhaps like never before, because it is taking Deb's emotions and thought process very seriously. Jan 9, 2019 | Full Review… Cory Barker TV.com Kicks things off amazingly, allowing audiences to see a new side to the series' familiar characters. Jan 9, 2019 | Full Review… Anthony Ocasio Screen Rant The renaissance of a stagnant series. Jan 9, 2019 | Full Review… Kevin Fitzpatrick ScreenCrush The start of this transition feels true to the show and the characters. What is clear is that things have changed. Jan 9, 2019 | Full Review… Kelly West CinemaBlend The final few episodes of season seven are some of the tensest in the show€™s history. Jan 9, 2019 | Full Review… Liam Hoofe What Culture Not only did everything come brutally bubbling back to the surface as far as Dexter's past crimes, but Jennifer Carpenter was phenomenal in her performance. Aug 8, 2013 | Full Review… Matt Fowler IGN Movies The twist [has] been so elegantly assembled here. Sep 18, 2018 | Full Review… Billy Grifter Den of Geek The introduction of Hannah McKay and the building of her and Dexter's relationship has allowed the show to simmer after all of the heat that the writers showcased in the first quarter of the season. Apr 3, 2018 | Full Review… Nick Harley Den of Geek If the record-setting ratings for Dexter as of late get it extended for another season, or more, that will mark the end of my viewership, because this is one ship I'd rather not go down with. Sep 27, 2013 | Rating: 4/10 | Full Review… Travis Smith We Got This Covered View All Critic Reviews (24) Audience Reviews for Dexter: Season 7 Jun 02, 2020 Not at all a bad season it's got good drama nice kills some pretty cool new characters all and all it was just a good season Pop culture C Mar 27, 2020 The TV series for excellence, unbeatable, simply the one that comes closest to perfection. Plot development, sublime script, brings the viewer closer to appreciating or despising certain characters. Matteo P Feb 23, 2020 This season was great overall but once Deb finds out what's up, the season goes downhill. I think the first three seasons and season 5 are the best. After that it's a huge dip. 6, 7, and 8 are not my favorites. Once the secret is out, the fun ends and Debra's character goes from funny foul mouth sister to very dark quickly. It's understandable and the acting is great, but for me it killed the vibe of the show. An unfortunate end to an otherwise AMAZING show! Jonathan E Nov 12, 2019 I was waiting for dexter to find someone to connect to after Lumen left him and I really felt the connection between him and Hannah. I would say this season was definitely better than the last one. Geoff D Nov 08, 2019 The penultimate season of Dexter is a good one, exploring the relationship between Dexter and Deb far more deeply. A good continuation of the twist ending to the last season. The Hanna McKay plotline can get a little dull at times, but there are so many other plot lines being juggled that it never becomes a real obstacle agains enjoying this season. Dexter has been getting continuously more sloppy each season, but i think that is in keeping with his character development arc. The only thing this season was missing was a big bad, every time one started to rise, they were prematurely put down. Aaron P Aug 28, 2019 I just LOVE the addition to a great cast, and Hannah McKay has made it even better! The slow building of her and Dexter's HOT and passionate relationship is amazing! I think I like her the best out of all of his girlfriends/wives, and the way he loses control around her! hahaha "Chemistry" Finally hooked once again! Krystal V Jul 09, 2019 the panic in the viewers mind wondering what will happen as revelations are made and foundations are destroyed christopher p Mar 03, 2019 really awesome and exciting. no annoying relationships or any bad side-plots. awesome throughout (about 2 viewings) Waleed A Jan 28, 2018 Great season with a new love interest it's good 10/10 Mito G Jan 04, 2018 Uh oh, Debra found out that he's a serial killer.
