Instead of watching the Madman speechify, I just finished watching the much maligned end of Dexter.

I have a feeling it still will be better received than this speech will.

All in all still a fairly enjoyable show. And nice watching a psychopath who still manages to be sympathetic, unlike the Madman.

After six seasons of fantastic writing, acting, production and drama, DEXTER tanked. The last season sucked.

After eight years of fantastic presidenting, our government tanked. The last year sucked.

Robert Mueller better get into high gear, goddammit!

And Trump is an idiot.

The Wire and Breaking Bad hung it up at 5. The Sopranos lasted 6.

Beyond that you risk the show just starting to meander aimlessly.

I think the Trinity season with John Lithgow was Dexter’s best.
