LOS ANGELES (REUTERS) - Cable channel Showtime on Wednesday pulled the plug on Dexter, the critically acclaimed show about a police analyst who is also a serial killer.

 

Starring Michael C. Hall in the title role, the show that pushed boundaries in terms of violence and dark humor will conclude this summer at the end of its eighth season.

 

"When it debuted in 2006, Dexter redefined the genre, by taking the anti-hero to new heights... its cultural impact will be felt for years to come," Showtime Chairman and CEO Matthew C. Blank said in a statement.

 

Dexter earned Hall a Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild award. The show has more than 13 million fans on Facebook and about 7 million Americans watched last season's finale

 

Wtf? Why they kill the show man?

Anyone caught the finale of Dexter already? Sad ending... [:/]

Yeah. Just saw it and this thread pop up liao.

 

It's like a superhero sad ending. Love ones around him will be constantly under danger that he ends up being alone in order to keep them safe. Except he's a psychopath who kills bad guys. Not so much of a typical superhero.

Yup, Breaking Bad is the best thing on TV. Looking forward to the finale.

 

Dexter just became too crappy for words. At least the finale wasn't terrible.

I thought The Walking Dead is good, until I saw Breaking Bad.

think bad influence? so did Dexter kaput?

 

Spoiler below. Highlight to read.

 

Worse. Dexter kayu. Literally. He fakes his own death to become a lumberjack in one of the series' stupider plotting moments. And with Dexter, that's saying a lot! [laugh]

agreed with kb27. Breaking Bad is really good. A good family chemist that made bad decisions in life.Waiting for the last episode next week.

Just finished Vikings and Under the Dome S1.. Soon will be catching Boardwalk Empire.. Now online is really killing the DVDs..
