not enjoying this much. It seems to be trying so hard to be cool and hip that it becomes a self-parody. Cops joking about dismembered bodies . . . really? Dexter is a sociopath for good. His father, a cop, has taught him to channel his murderous instincts into a quest to kill serial killers. The problem with the premise is that it's hard to like a serial killer, even if he kills other serial killers. Can't imagine watching eight seasons. One will be enough.
Weakest. Tommy is in prison. His son, Ryan, is now 17. Catherine the cop's sister, Clare, takes Ryan to visit Tommy in prison, without telling Catherine. Not good. Sisters have a break when Catherine finds out. Plot two: PE teacher, abusive to wife. She is getting drugs from local Indian/Pakistani pharmacist. Husband finds out and has wife arrested! Pharmacist worried . . . plots to kill husband. Wife agrees, then changes her mind. Pharmacist in a rage kills her. (All a bit of a stretch, as he is a mild mannered family man.) Tommy escapes from his court hearing, hides out, gets in touch with Ryan. Plan is to go to Marabella, Spain together. Tommy's "helpers" get worried about Tommy and decide to do him in. Instead, he kills them . . . and is knifed himself. He returns to Catherine's house, looks through a photo album showing Catherine took good care of Ryan, and decides not to kill her....
