Dissecting Dexter - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Best Dexter podcast out there. Gareth thoroughly covers each episode and provides interesting commentary. Listener feedback is fun to hear too, especially for episodes that were made week to week as they were airing (seasons 5-New Blood).

If you’re looking for a forum that: recaps the episodes, encourages all opinions, collaborates with their very creative listeners, and has an expert, in-depth view of all things Dexter…boy did you find the right podcast!

I’m a day late and a dollar short but I just wanted to leave a positive review anyway. I’ve listened from the review of the pilot and now through the first review of New Blood. It’s been my favorite podcast for a couple months now. As an avid Dexter fan, I’m a tad upset I didn’t find it earlier as I’m positive I would’ve called in with colorful feedback. Thank you Gareth for dedicating your time and effort all these years. It’s truly appreciated and enjoyed.

I am way late to the game, but I binged all 8 seasons of Dexter in about 2 months. I wasn’t ready to let go of the story, so I started listening to this podcast. Gareth is an excellent and thoughtful narrator, and I’m happy to revisit the show and process my thoughts. Great work!

First two episodes are straight up recaps with absolutely no added value. In the second episode, the host speculated that LaGuerta is jealous of Debra for being another competent female officer. Presumably he’s aware that LaGuerta (a seasoned lieutenant with political connections) knows that Debra (a rookie, uniformed officer who poses no threat to her) has a bad temper, acts impulsively, and is unprofessional, which she’s transparent about in later episodes. He follows this up with referring to Masuka’s ubiquitous sexual harassment as “fun”. I pushed through to episode 3 where he quickly calls LaGuerta “arrogant” and is delighted that Angel joins in on Masuka’s recounting of a sex act that involves insulting a woman during the act. To recap the host’s uninspired recaps, women are petty and jealous, sexual harassment in the work place is good fun, and trapping a woman under you and insulting her is a chill conversation and to have with your colleagues.
