Dexter was Michael C. Hall, period.
Yes, there was the concept. And there was the writing, which could be glorious... but could also be putrid. But mostly? Michael C. Hall carried the show. Without him,
Dexter is nothing.
I'm not at all surprised that there's more
Dexter material coming down the pike. And I'm not blaming the producers. After all, audiences have shown that if you slap an established label on a product and put it out there, they'll fall all over themselves to watch it.
The ridiculous ninth season was bad enough. But at least it had Hall. This new silliness? It'll reek to high heaven. And it'll sell. But I won't be buying.

It's not a matter of creativity. Television isn't in the creativity business; it's in the ratings business. And repackaged material that sold well before is a better bet than untried material.
