Dexter’s season five finale lived up to rating expectations in attracting 2.5 million total viewers to witness the final confrontation between homicide’s resident serial killer and his latest nemesis, Jordan Chase.
Including the 11pm encore performance, ‘The Big One’ drew just under 3 million live viewers. Last season’s finale drew almost an identical number, showing Dexter is holding viewership intent to see the show its opening night.
DVR and VOD viewers should push the total number up to and above 5 million viewers, the average for this season and best for any season of the show.
