Summary: Further interesting developments in the life of Dexter
Comment: The third season of Dexter moves right along where the last season left off. Distrrict attorney Miguel Prado (Jimmy Smits) becomes Dexter's new friend, though he becomes a little too interested in Dexter's shadowy life. All through the season Dexter (Michael C. Hall) also gets closer to living a normal, domestic life as he and Rita are about to get married. Dexter must learn to adjust to this new aspect of his life as he loses more of his freedom, and his ability to lead a double life becomes more complicated.
As with past seasons there is one major new serial killer to deal with. This time there is the Skinner, so named because he leaves his victims missing patches of their skin. One major change in the third season is the fantasy sequences with Dexter imaging what his father is thinking, as he gives his son guidance, ideas, or arouses guilt. In past seasons flashbacks were used when Dexter was remembering his father. This fantasy elements adds an interesting sub layer to Dexter's thought processes, and perhaps could also be saying something about how Dexter is dealing with the trauma's of his life through fantasy, or perhaps even through split personality. Is this a crack in the Dexter psyche? the beginning of a sort of psychosis, even as he is supposedly becoming more normal. The third season offers just as many thrills, and twists, and intriguing characters as previous seasons in this continually fascinating TV series.

Summary: Pals or Hermits: The Choices one makes
Comment: Everyone wants a friend. In Dexter's case its not that different. Considering all the things that are going on in his life - his brother (Season 1), the Bay Harbor Buther (Season 2), and the things that happened between himself and Rita (Paul, Lila, the changes in rita's characters, and other surpises) its only normal to want someone to share with. But to share your firend with your dark passenger, explainign things that stay better by darkness - that can be a problem.
As far as Dexter goes, I have to say that it has remained one of my favorite shows on television. There have been so many plots that have surprised me, from the things with the Ice Truck Killer to the way that Dexter slipped the noose in Season 2, and things continue to grow from here. Now we have Dexter attempting to make sense of his life as Rita grows, thinking about what a family is and how it could fit into his world. Rita has undergone changes as well (I've foudn some of those bad, but that is totally an opinon of my own), as have so many of the characters that Dexter calls "friends." Of course, these firends are just cover and Dexter mixes it up with somoen that promises him more than that. The development of this story, coupled with the already great stroytelling that Dexter brings to the scrceen, is amazingly fresh. The acting is superb, too, with everyone from the sister that still feels the torment of rejection to the drinking frinds and lab partners that have storylines all their own. In many ways this sets the show apart because, unlike other series, it does not ignore the things that happen to the people around Dexter. It merges them and changes them, making waves that sometimes help and sometimes threaten.
I personally give the show my highest seal of approval, noting just how fast I went throught the seasons on DVD. They are addictive things, and they are not horrific like they could be. Bloody - yes, horric - not so much. Even people in my family that can't stomach some CSI episodes watch the show with passion. As I write this I have already entered the fourth season as well, with even the newest addition to the force (one Quinn for a likeable Dokes)making this reviewer happy. Sometimes I feel like I have Dexter fever, even wanting a "bowl till you Bleed" team shirt.
It truly makes you love it in ways you wouldn't have thought possible.
