There’s lot of talk over the recently announced one-off revival series of TV’s much-watched serial-killer drama, Dexter. Fans of Michael C. Hall’s mass-murdering character are excited about the chance to maybe alter the show’s lasting legacy after its final season had one of the most disappointing endings ever with not a single viewer buying that Dexter had retrained as lumberjack…

In so far as the ending of the show, this will have no resemblance to how the original finale was.
