I did like the acting a lot, and I liked a lot of the parts of the storylines. It's just the "deliberate sadistic abuse" parts that really bothered me. In the end, I think it comes down to that there are other shows I enjoy watching just as much and I only have X hours free in a given week to be in front of a TV. So I was already really pressed for time as it is.
But that being said, if Dexter toned back on their "people smiling while they deliberately hurt children" type of stuff, I would probably make time for it.
