To me the show dropped off in quality pretty badly after season 4.
Understandably with John Lithgow and the Trinity stuff it was going to be a hard act to follow, but they also went through changes on the staff. The guy who was the executive producer/creator of the show left and they brought in a new show runner and a lot of new people.
I don't know for certain, but I get the feeling that the original guy wanted to keep the show dark and edgy like it was when it started and Showtime wanted to try to make it more accessible.
In season 8 I thought the Dr. Vogul stuff was interesting. We got to learn a little more about Dexter's past, but among the problems with it was that there was never really a sense of danger that Dexter might be caught or killed. The only question was whether or not he would end up with Hannah. It was all pretty anti-climactic.
