i am torn with this idea. i really hate when shows just keep going and going, which American series far too often do. the writing seems to become diluted and formulaic, in order to keep the show limping along, and that’s what happened with Dexter.

HOWEVER

i thoroughly enjoyed Original Sin, and holy shit did those actors do their homework. (the casting director played a huge part in that). the show is also doing a great job of showing us the evolution of Dexter, and the story feels fresh and new, which is what the last season or two of the original Dexter was missing : new ideas.

i also enjoyed New Blood, because i am just a fan of the show, but i am unsure that it really needed to be made, and it’s here where i am currently sitting with the idea of Resurrection; i am excited for more Dexter content, but not sure it’s gonna provide anything truly new and fresh.

perhaps you’re right… maybe it’s time for them to stop making more Dexter content, and let us live with the memory of what a fantastic show it was.

Laughs in EastEnders. Or as they say in Australia: Laughs in Neighbours.

It's not a uniquely American thing as much as it is a capitalistic thing. As long as a show is getting viewership to be profitable it often gets milked for that profit until it degrades past a point of profitability.
