Dexter finale is Showtime's most watched episode ever
You may not have loved it. But you sure didn’t miss it.
Showtime’s Dexter series finale Sunday night became the network’s most-watched episode of any original series ever.
Dexter had 2.8 million viewers at 9 p.m., up 13 percent from the season 8 premiere — and that’s despite airing against the Emmys. The show’s final season ranks as its most watched, averaging 6.4 million viewers across all platforms. Lead-out Ray Donovan, in case you’re wondering, had 2.1 million viewers, the biggest average of a Showtime freshman series finale — though you’d kind-of expect that given the Dexter numbers.
This show had one of the most loyal fans. It's very IMPRESSIVE that the ratings kept increasing every year despite the quality declined. I'm still processing the finale, I'm just very devastated.
I don't like the idea behind this show. I only watched an episode, I thought it was good but I'm not comfortable with one man (a policeman) playing God. So I've never watched it again.
