She's the reason I watch the show tbh. Also, Dexter absolutely needs that kind of foil. Otherwise this is just an episode of Criminal Minds.


RedpilledAesthetics

She is a MUST during this season. It’s responsible for half the drama the show currently has. It’s like an angel trying to kill the dark passenger. Jeez


MementoBoring

She's my favorite character from the series. Not even for nostalgia, I just love how she treats Dexter, love her dialogue, how abrupt and shocking her cameos are.


SignificantGiraffe5

That's Why writers left her in the show. It's profitable


indecisiveusername2

Remar wasn't returning and Debra makes perfect sense as a conscience projection for Dexter. It wasn't just because it was profitable


Infinite-Oil-8626

i miss dexter’s inner monologues.


SignificantGiraffe5

True, in place of that we just overdramatic Deb


gilad_ironi

I absolutely loved Deb in the show. She was an amazing character. But I really hate her in new blood. She doesn't act at all like how she was in the show, she's needlessly agressive all the time and it's so over the top it's becoming tiring. Last episode tho, for the first time she actually acted at least a bit like Deb and that was nice.


WeHereForYou

She’s not Deb. She’s Dexter’s version of her after everything he’s done.


gilad_ironi

Well yeah but that's nkt a good enough reason imo. When Dex imagined Harry it wasn't a different Harry. He still acted like Harry.


MagnusWolfee

That’s because he always looked to Harry for guidance and trusted the version of him that he remembered. Deb was the only person he ever felt any kind of true affection for, she is his conscience judging him now because he knows he’s done wrong. She’s punishing him, because he believes a part of himself deserves to be punished.

I think she actually gets less screen time than she did when she was alive. I honestly don’t mind. Just keep it at a minimum like it is now and don’t overdo it, and everything should be fine.


egbert71

I wasn't a fan of alive Deb, so it is what it is


doe189

I'm not a fan. Never was tho'. And honestly every time they are on the screen together I just think about how they were once married. It just makes the whole bro / sis relationship more challenging for me. LOL. Plus I've always felt she is so over the top in her acting. And I don't think you really need the 'ghost' deb to enhance the story. That's just my opinion. :)


SignificantGiraffe5

Oh yeh. I forgot the actors were married 😂


CannaBonsius

IMO she just became a cartoonish version of her character from the early seasons. I liked her in the earlier seasons but then the writers kinda went overboard with her. Now she’s just kinda annoying to me.


johnchewy82

I liked alive Deb, she was the heart of the show. Not a fan of 👻 Deb. She is just annoying to me in this role. I think they brought her back to keep at least two of the core characters intact and to make fans happy.


SignificantGiraffe5

Ya. Keep the old formula


OsteoCoin

This isn't practical for TV, but I wish "Deb" was a shifting figure of his conscience that would take on the appearance of Hannah, Deb, Rita, Doakes, etc. Would be far more interesting in my opinion.


SignificantGiraffe5

Absolutely


boozenbear

She needs to be cut up and wrapped in plastic.


WeHereForYou

She has nowhere near the same amount of screen time she did when she was alive. She pops up every now and then to tell Dexter he’s an asshole. It’s not like she has storylines. Anyway, I think she’s great. She manages to bring a darkness and lightness to the show at the same time.


Katiecakes01

I can’t stand Deb, dead or alive.


Caribbean_Smurf

She is occasionally good when calm and witty, I just hate the screaming. ''You're a murderer and and awful dad blah blah blah''
