In retrospect, the second season of Dexter was a mistake

As much as I liked Doakes and the actor who played him, the character couldn't be a longterm nemesis for Dexter because he was too smart of a detective to never figure out what Dexter was up to. They couldn't drag it out for 5 seasons having Doakes look like a bumblefukk who was constantly being outsmarted by Dexter. They could have maybe done what the book did and had Doakes become incapacitated so that his vendetta/investigation into Dexter would have become more difficult for him to pull off.
I think the thing that makes me miss Doakes so much though i that his de facto replacement, Quinn, is a very shytty character.

Seasons 1, 2, and 4 are great TV.

Season 3 was ok.

they fukked up by introducing Doakes as already being suspicious of Dexter in the very first episode
they couldn't build that up as the seasons went on :snoop:
