What I'm Watching: Dexter

Dexter: Season 2, Episode 5 "The Dark Defender" (A-)

Turning Dexter into a sort of comic book antihero is a terrific idea. He asks himself, "Am I the Bay Harbor Butcher or the Dark Defender?" His scenes with Jaime Murray (Lila) are simply amazing to watch. Rita's mother might seem like an obnoxious burden, but I trust they will do something interesting with that. How Michael C. Hall could ever get snubbed for an Emmy after this would be inexcusable. Keith Carradine is proving to be a fascinating addition to the cast, and forming a remarkable relationship with Debra. Fun to see Doakes and Maria reminiscing about old times and an old relationship?
