Apart from Season 8 which was awful, I hated how they ended it so I was really glad they made New Blood years later. I felt that really ended it properly. Also I really didn't like the story line of Deb thinking she was in love with Dexter, I HATED that. It ruined Debs character for me and hers and Dexter's relationship
Spoiler:

One of the biggest issues with that Deb storyline is that it damaged their relationship retroactively as well... as you're supposed to believe she secretly always had feelings for him all along. WHich also makes it bad writing because this was never foreshadowed or hinted at all if you rewatch. It is VERY obvious that it wasn't pre-planned ... it was just written in at the end ... which makes their previous interactions play out inauthentically. I'm all for a good twist but the point of a good twist is that if you go back and watch again, you should be able to see the hints scattered throughout. With of course the absolute best twists being ones where NO ONE guessed but it was hiding in plain sight.

This one... no one guessed the twist because it was never thought of as a twist until the last minute... so their interactions are all clearly 100% brother/sister, and she clearly looks at him like a brother and that's it, and so the twist is gross and incesty.
