James Doakes has been a crucial character in the early seasons of Dexter. He is initially presented as a highly skilled detective who is ultimately outmaneuvered by Dexter. This diminishes his credibility making him seem less competent. His backstory and personal growth are not explored which has left the viewers with his wasted potential and high expectations.
