The only thing is they NEED to do is recast the black cop. The guy is a horrible actor and the character is basically a cartoon. Every time he opens his mouth he completely takes me out of the show.

I kind of like him, actually.

The worst character on the show has to be Dexter's sister. I don't buy the fact that she is a cop. She comes off as a little child-like half the time.

I can tolerate the sister as a cop but yeah it is a bit of a stretch. She's way too needy and dependent to have what it takes to do the job. However at the same time she basically had Dexter handing her the case by subtly nudging her in the right direction.

Where her character is truly awful though is with all the relationship stuff - see above re: needy and dependent. She dated Rudy for like 10 minutes and was ready to have his babies. Daddy issues, I guess.

The more I think about it the more I realize how dependent this show is on Hall's performance and also how great of an actor he actually is (and I already held him in high regard).
