Frankly, Season One (and I did watch the whole season waiting for it to get better) disgusted me so thoroughly I didn't go back.
I'm glad to hear they've shown the consequences of Dexter's actions and adopted some sort of moral compass.
That being said, judging how many of the show's fans root for him to continue and do not wish for him to be caught, I don't think that message is sinking in. In a Dexter/CM crossover, there could be no Boondock Saints-like "understanding" reached, and any escape on Dexter's part would have to be treated as a tragedy that will be fixed later ("we'll catch him") to be true to the spirit of CM. I don't think that would appeal to the Dexter fanbase at all.
However, I also concede the possibilty I stumbled upon the nutter-butters contingents of the fanbase and that they are in no way representative of the fanbase as a whole. :/
