Review:
I've both read some of Jeff Lindsay's novels and viewed their interpretation on Showtime's Dexter. I love the concept of a serial killer of killers and the situations he puts himself into. A dark passenger that, although corrupting, has been geared towards vigilante justice...it's intriguing. Most of Dexter has been unraveled and evolved at this point; his past, his childhood, the relationship with his father, sister, etc...and now we see him in a father and husband role.

I'm disappointed to hear that Michael C. Hall had to recently undergo treatment for cancer, but glad he's in remission and returned to film season 5. I'll be interested to see if it took a little steam out of the man portraying such a personality. I was a fan of his since 6 Feet Under, so I'm pleased he's still with us.

Anyhow, this particular season focused on the family model; getting married, having a baby with Rita, being a step father to her kids. I won't voice spoilers here but I'm sure everyone is aware of how his marriage turns out. And of course Dexter has some cop on the force who gets a little too curious. We all know what happens to those.

Conclusion: The show overall is clever, entertaining, and not always predictable. I hate shows and plots that I can easily foretell what will happen next. And I like that most of the material tries to stay near true (with a couple of changes here & there) to the novels (basic plot, characters, etc...) I'm interested to see which direction the show will go in now. I hope the (UNREAL) season end of this season wasn't just some strange dream/nightmare. But if it DID happen, I hope it doesn't "jump the shark" for this otherwise riveting series.
