“Dexter” Preview Increases Anticipation for New Season

A sneak peek at the first four episodes of the fourth season of Showtime’s “Dexter” has me just as enthralled as the last three seasons. In fact, if these first episodes are any indication, this could be the best season yet!
Now that Dexter (Michael C. Hall) is married to Rita (Julie Benz) and baby Harrison has been born into their new family, which includes Rita’s two children from her previous marriage, there’s even more suspense about whether his secret life as a serial killer (of bad guys only, of course) will be discovered.
Harrison is adorable and Dexter is devoted to his family, but Harrison’s sleeping issues have Dexter worn out as he’s trying to do his job as a blood spatter analyst with the Miami police department and continue his serial killing routine
This exhaustion leads to mistakes and complications in both areas of his life.
Add to the mix the Trinity Killer (John Lithgow), who brings retired FBI Special Agent Frank Lundy (Keith Carradine) back to Miami.
Lundy’s been trying to catch the Trinity Killer, who’s been committing murders for 30 years, so he enlists the assistance of Dexter and his detective sister Deb (Jennifer Carpenter), which creates another complication because Deb and Lundy used to be an item and Deb is another relationship now.
Other surprising plot developments involving Dexter and Deb’s co-workers combine to keep this show’s story lines among the most interesting on television.
One of the best elements of the writing is the humor that manages to find its way in despite such dark themes.
With its top-notch acting and writing, I can’t wait to see where the rest of “Dexter‘s” fourth season leads. The premiere is Sept. 27 at 8 p.m. on Showtime.

The top notch acting is one thing.
Had anyone noticed in season 4 episode 2 the dead vacationer in the hotel room was breathing?
You can see him 2 times.
I like your post. Thanks a lot for this great post sharing. Dexter TV Show is one of my favorite show. I watch this show online.
I liked the episode a lot, and overall I like everything about the show, except for one thing: long term creativity. Dexter continues to kill and wriggle out of different situation. It’s fun, it’s wrong to enjoy, but it’s the same. I’ll still watch, but I would like to see some changes. The first scene with the Trinity Killer is the most disturbing of the whole series. Full review of the episode.
