Remember when Dexter had to lead the dead guy's scent away from his place because dogs were being brought in? So he dug back down to where he hid the body (with his son asleep right inside) and he took the guy's clothes and went back out to the crime scene and danced all around to spread the scent from there back to the road? And all this after they'd established there were cameras all around in the woods? But they just never mentioned the cameras ever again so it didn't matter?
And then Dexter had to dig the guy's body back up (again with his son asleep right inside but hearing nothing) and took it to a giant incinerator that had never been mentioned before, which apparently you can just drive right up to and throw things in, but somehow he didn't just do that in the first place?
Remember a couple episodes ago when Dexter got shot? LOL
Dexter needs a drug to do his usual ritual, but he acknowledges he doesn't have access to the stuff he used before. So he gets some ketamine from the vet. Then his girlfriend googles ketamine + Miami murders and the top result is the Bay Harbor Butcher, with the text on the screen literally saying the victims were injected with ketamine, even though the show already acknowledged that's not the drug Dexter used back then. Seriously, how did this fall through the cracks?
I could keep going, including with stuff from the finale but I won't get into any spoilers. But really, 10 years after one of the most hated/mocked series endings of all time and they get a chance to redeem it and this was the effort they put out. Kinda sad.

Yeah, these things are very "meh" and the show def suffers from the details that made a show like Breaking Bad pretty amazing, but I still enjoy it for the unique plot.
