I rewatched all 8 seasons in prep for the new series. When I initially saw the end of Dexter years back, my only complaint was poor Deb didn't deserve her fate, she was a good person.
However after rewatching the serious, it ends perfectly. Let's remember, Dexter is a bad person. Yes he killed terrible people, but he also killed innocent people directly (photographer, rude bathroom guy) and indirectly (Dokes, Laguerta, Deb and countless others). Many people unnecessarily died because he mislead the police countless times.
Dexter gets the ending he deserves, he looses everyone he loves (his kid, the woman he loves, the job that feeds his Ned, and his sister). At the end, he's along and miserable, for the rest of his life, exactly what he deserves, short of being killed himself.
