Sergent James Doakes was a complex character who had been suspicious of Dexter from the beginning. His conflicts with Dexter provided a constant source of tension in the show, which the viewers enjoyed. Doakes was a man with strong moral principles, and his past was never fully explored in the show, which the viewers have pointed out to be deserving of more screen time.
