Is there anything you do like about the show, since most of your comments are negative?

Regarding Deb’s death, while talking about Camilla in Season 3, Deb told Dexter that she’d want him to pull the plug on her and she’d do the same for him. Jennifer Carpenter apparently was satisfied with Deb’s death, saying: “She would have wanted [Dexter] to have the moment where he would have had to consider it, where he couldn't help himself but to get emotional about it. I have to believe, unfortunately, that Deb dies not knowing how Dexter feels about her. She doesn't have access to his feelings, which is all she ever wanted.”

Due to Dexter’s actions, Deb (indirectly) became one of his victims and was buried in the same way as his other victims.

The deaths that you suggest wouldn’t have been as significant, in my opinion. Deb had already attempted suicide (“Scar Tissue”), had a serious car accident (“Do You See What I See?”), and helped Dexter rescue himself from a a fire (“Born Free).

Deb did fall apart from guilt from killing Maria. She quit the police department, began to snort coke and drink heavily, and slept with an armed robber (Andrew Briggs). She even told Dexter that she didn’t care if she died. Only with the help of Dr. Evelyn Vogel, did she begin to recover, eventually returning to the police force. However, this story does not, and should not, have a happy ending.
