All the seasons of
Dexter starts in September last week or first week of October but this season
is an early bird maybe the makers are planning for surprises for Series finale.
It is the continuation of trauma endured by the characters in the last season of
this crime-thriller. It peels out various layers of relationships between the
lead characters and takes it to an all new level.
Six months after Maria
LaGuerta’s death Dexter is living life midst a new spirit with his casual sex
with new friends(I think stripper’s), back with his bowling team “Bowl ‘Till
You Bleed” and coaching his son Harrison’s soccer team to championship. Harrison
is bigger as he talks, runs and asks questions. Debra is missing from the
office space and is not visible on her friend’s radar. Angel Batista is finding
it difficult to cope with death of Maria LaGuerta and finds himself custodian
of her household items. Joey Quinn and Jamie Batista are having sex like some
horny teenagers or better dogs. Vince Masuka continues to live with his filthy
talk and lab.
Later we see Deter
breaking to Debra’s house and finds Xanax, Paxil and Adderall from
prescriptions of different doctors and pot. He tracks her down to a private
investigation agency ALWAY and is told about Andrew Briggs. He is a thief who
stole jewelry worth half a million and is now a case for Debra as she snorts
cocaine and has sex with him; this shows us her desperation for a relationship.
Dexter confronts Debra and she yells out all the frustration but Briggs
interferes making it come to an end.
“We both chose murder.
Maybe we are both a little crazy.”
“Maybe…”
“What did you do?”
“…you didn’t belong with
him.”
“Fuck. Fuck! Fuck!
Will you fucing go? Will you go!? PLEASE go!”
“I came here to save
you!”
“Deb, look at
yourself. You’re lost.”
“I am not lost. I know
exactly where I am. I am in some shitty fucking hell, which is exactly what I
deserve! YOU are lost.”
“Aren’t you the one
that’s always saying ‘bad people deserve to die’?”
“Debra was right. I
was wrong. It’s me who’s lost.”
Dexter shows a new
emotion of Anger and Denial as he picks up an argument with the person who cut
his vehicle on road only to be calmed by the guy’s son on back seat. Dexter is
shown fighting with his temper when Harrison visits his workplace and breaks a
red vase of Maria LaGuerta given to him by Angel Batista; he shouts at him and
seconds later repent showing his unawareness.
Later Dexter
understands of a meeting between Briggs and a buyer El Sapo from Quinn as Debra
phones and informs him for details. Dexter meanwhile does a check on El Sapo
and comes to know that his name is Javier Guzman and is a Hitman hired by the mob
whose jewelry was stolen by Briggs. He takes Harrison and goes to find Debra
and explain but all in vain as Briggs comes in between wherein a fight ensures
he is knife stabbed and killed by Dexter. Cops arrive and register for homicide
and Debra reports to ALWAY claiming she may know the jewelry location but all
of these is seen by Javier Guzman in background.
In midst of all a new
character is introduced and a new psychopath. A mechanic is killed and his
brain is sliced from Parietal to Occipital with back of cranium removed with
melon baller. Miami Metro brings in Dr. Evelyn Vogel (portrayed
by Charlotte Rampling) an expert Neuropsychiatrist and author
about serial killers. Dr. Evelyn Vogel specializes on serial killers, and she’s
quickly on to Bay Harbor Butcher and Dexter. She explains the removal of
cranium to be a move to dispel empathy name of serial killer to be The
Brain Surgeon. Dexter smells foul about her from the start but confirms his
fear when she hands him few crayon drawings of Dexter as a child of people
being murdered. Dexter intimidates her but she is confident that Dexter won’t
harm her as he follows Harry’s code.
Rating - *** (Good)
Thus start of this
season was pretty good with new cases and mysteries left to unravel.
