So it's been quiet a long road good ol' Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall). Run ins with his brother, hes had a partner in crime, got married, had a kid, and even chased down the great Jon Lithgow!
Now he has to deal with the death of his lovely wife Rita.
The show starts off exactly where season 4 ended which I though was great. Cops arrive at the murder scene and Dexter is almost in awe at what had happened. He even told the first cop on the scene that "I did it". Now being a big fan of the show it was kinda weird seeing Dexter in such a vulnerable state, I mean he didnt really even seem that bad when he killed his own brother.
The show literally takes off just as any of the seasons have. The episode had great acting and writing as any other episode and left me completely stressed out wanting to know what was in store for Mr. Morgan.
The plot line of Dexter now being somewhat wanted by the FBI and him having to ditch all his killing tools and evidence ALL before having to go to Rita's funeral is simply classic Dexter at his finest.
Now boys and girls dont think that Dexter gets away with not killing anyone...trust me he does!
The death of Rita although sad, is something the show desperately needed. I mean how long could he play good father and husband AND still be a serial killer? A huge breathe of fresh air has been brought into the series which means the show can go anywhere. The whole start a new theme is brought back but not as tacked on as it was in the previous season, although it feel a tad rushed.
Basically I'm saying the first episode of season 5 is a terrific start to what already feels like one of the shows best seasons yet! Bring on more!
Dexter can be seen Sunday nights on Showtime....and youtube the next day!
