We’re only weeks away from the start of Dexter’s fourth season, and I was lucky enough to catch a sneak peek of the season premiere. Here are just some of my thoughts on what looks like another crazy journey with our favourite serial killer! WARNING! This will contain some spoilers.
Last season, Dexter found out he was going to be a father, bought a house, and married Rita. But does a leopard ever change his spots? Fatherhood certainly hasn’t stopped Dexter Morgan from carrying out his brand of justice, but the accompanying sleep deprivation has definitely made him sloppy.
Deb and Anton are still an item, they’re living together, and we’ve never seen her happier. But old feelings are stirred up when Agent Frank Lundy, Deb’s former love, re-enters the picture. Why has Lundy returned? Now retired from the FBI, Lundy’s on the trail of a predator that eluded him for years, The Trinity Killer, who’s at work terrorizing Miami.
Rita seems to be enjoying married life and motherhood. When all her husband wants is to catch some z’s, she’s breaking out the pleasure chest!
Seeing Dexter in action as a father is certainly remarkable, whether he’s singing “America the Beautiful” or confessing his sins to baby Harrison.
I can’t wait to see what happens next! Season 4 begins September 27th on Showtime in the US, and TMN in Canada.
