POLL: Dexter Revival - Are 10 Episodes Enough, Or It Needs More Seasons?

Is Season 9 enough? Or 'Dexter' needs more episodes to tell its story after the 10-year time jump?

Dexter returns in fall 2021 on Showtime as a limited 10-episode series. Michael C. Hall will reprise his role as America's favorite serial killer again, seven years after the finale. After 96 episodes do you think that the upcoming 10 episodes are enough to tell Dexter's story for (maybe) one last time? 

There are plenty of examples from anthology series and mini-series, like Fargo, True Detective, The Undoing, American Horror Story and others, that actually prove that ten, or less episodes are more than enough to unfold new stories, introduce characters etc. Do you think a single 'Dexter' season can achieve that too?

Happy New Year, everyone! In his first interview since the announcement of the Dexter Revival, Michael C. Hall discusses the bad criticism the original 2013 series finale received, and the opportunity to restore Dexter's legacy with the upcoming 10-episode limited series, that premieres later this year. [via the Daily Beast].

When questioned about why he decided to finally say yes and do the Dexter Revival, a decision that took lots of years, he said: "It’s a conversation that’s been ongoing, and different possibilities have emerged over the years. I think in this case, the story that’s being told is worth telling in a way that other proposals didn’t, and I think enough time has passed where it’s become intriguing in a way that it wasn’t before. And let’s be real: people found the way that show left things pretty unsatisfying, and there’s always been a hope that a story would emerge that would be worth telling. I include myself in the group of people that wondered, “What the hell happened to that guy?” So I’m excited to step back into it. I’ve never had that experience of playing a character this many years on."
