Dexter Season 5 Finale Highlights and Best Performances

Well, we will face the fact that Dexter Season 5 has ended. However, being one of the most-patronized series all over the globe, it’s nice to remember those best scenes that really touched our hearts during the bloody finale of the series, especially giving them a simple appreciation is a way to prove that Dexter is really great.

As for Hall, he’s purely marvelous. To go from five seasons as an openly gay funeral director (‘Six Feet Under’) to five seasons as a secluded serial killer would be a dangerous transition for a lesser actor to pull off, but Hall manages to make a psychopathic murderer not just fascinating but actually beloved.

Lumen, in the end, transformed Dexter for the better, even though she broke his heart. Dexter was positively devastated when Lumen explained that she had to leave. He was much more shocked than he looked after Rita’s death. Dexter’s response, sitting on his kitchen floor, was award worthy. His touching promise, “Don’t be sorry your darkness is gone. I’ll carry it for you always. I’ll keep it with mine,” was poetic and even made my eyes get watery.

What’s more, Dexter for the very first time believes that there’s a possibility his Dark Passenger could possibly vanish one day, just like Lumen’s.

With these outstanding performances of the Dexter cast, we will surely be glad that another amazing and outstanding performance for the season 6 will hit and satisfy us.
