The first two seasons were great because he was a batshit crazy, emotionless serial killer who kept his urge under control by only killing criminals who had escaped justice.
This made him a very intriguing protagonist.
On the one hand you empathized with him because he was extracting justice, making those guilty of horrible crimes pay, and on the other hand we saw he was a fucking blood-thirsty nutcase kept in check only by his father's moral code and the conversations he had with his imaginary ghost.
I think the problem with Dexter is that it went on for too long and the choices they made took the character in directions which led to the horrific mess which was were the last two seasons and the spectacularly bad finale, which is like the writers knew there was no way to save the shipwreck the show had become and simply did not give a flying fuck, just took that old, sick dog behind the barn and put it out of its misery.
