By Danny Gallagher His issue isn't with Benz's performance, but he said he feels "dubious" about the fixes that have to be made to Dexter and Rita's relationship.

By Danny Gallagher In Dexter's case, it's giving America's most squeezably soft serial killer an opponent truly worthy of his skills and talent without boring the audience or completely overpowering or outing him.

By Debra McDuffee S03E08) OK, so I am sitting here, trying to figure out how I can actually write a review of this episode of Dexter when the bloody preview left nothing from next week's episode a surprise. WTF, Showtime? So, let's move past that huge spoiler that is next week's coming attractions and talk abo...

By Debra McDuffee S03E01) Some changes are in the air for Dexter and its crew this season, judging by the happenings in the first episode. Batista is promoted to sergeant -- yay for him -- and he seems to be taking his new position very seriously. Will this responsible cop deal last? I like Batista and hope that i...

By Keith McDuffee Filed under: Dexter, Episode ReviewsObviously I'm not going to go into an entire review of this episode of Dexter, as we've already done that once during the show's premiere on Showtime. Also, I gave my thoughts on the CBS version of the series last week. However, I do want to open up a post for...

By Keith McDuffee In any case, Dexter continues to question how honest Harry had been with him when he was alive. In fact, he's getting pretty angry at him. It seems to me that, along with Lila's influence (whether positive or negative), Dexter not trusting what Harry taught him is just going to cause Dex to bec...

By Keith McDuffee First, the Dark Defender. The whole scene in the comic book store and then Dexter's dream sequence were classic. And then let's bring into the mix the scene from the coffee bar, where Dexter overheard a couple of guys commending Dexter's doings. These people may be on Dexter's side now, but sh...

By Keith McDuffee Filed under: OpEd, Dexter, Early LooksThese days there are only a few shows I consider must-watch for me. Showtime's Dexter is one of those shows.

By Jonathan Toomey The TV Addict has posted a recap of the Dexter panel discussion held last Wednesday in LA. In attendance was most of the cast as well as the executive producers. Lots of info, but rather than read through it all, here are the highlights: James Remar, who plays Dexter's father, was quoted sayin...

By Jonathan Toomey S01E12) What an absolutely spectacular show. It's going to be a shame if Michael C. Hall doesn't get the Golden Globe because he certainly deserves it. It's funny because at the beginning of the season I said I was going to have a hard time picturing him as anything other than part of the Six Feet...

By Jonathan Toomey Initially, this led Dex to the ship yard and the precise container where his mother was butchered. In the only flashback that Harry was in, we saw him pull Dexter from the container, covered in blood. Once Dexter snapped out of his little daydream, Doakes was right in front him. He had followed...

By Jonathan Toomey I'm starting to enjoy Rita's story a bit more since her ex (Paul) is back. I love the interactions between him and Dexter. It's a safe bet that Dex will end up killing him, but will it be for a legit reason? If he starts beating Rita again, he's done. But will Dexter actually compromise his ethics a...

By Jonathan Toomey Speaking of Rita, I think she might officially be the first thing about this show that I don't care for. I love the stuff between her and Dexter, but her backstory? I just don't care about her and the whole ex-husband story. Maybe there's more to it, but right now? Doesn't grab me.

By Jonathan Toomey This is fantastic news. According to Reuters, Showtime has given Dexter the greenlight for season two. I can't even begin to say how excited I am about that.
