Dexter - Season Five

Tic. Tic. Tic. That's the sound of your life running out.

running since 2005, the Showtime series Dexter televised, but only last December, the authors were to be carried away for drama formats usually traditional cliffhanger. At the end of the season brought fourth series (killer) held Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall) while his opponent Arthur (John Lithgow) to, but then took home his dead wife, Rita (Julie Benz) and their son Harrison in a pool of blood before. No happy ending, not satisfied a deep breath after twelve grueling episodes. Dexter's world for the fifth year would not be the same, so much was certain. And with the death of one of the central figures, the authors now opened the possibility of its main protagonists in a new direction to steer.

is suddenly feeling the cold serial killer who formed a blended family the only reason to have a social camouflage, relying on feelings. The death of Rita leads Dexter - however much he appreciated his wife also "love" and got - more of a responsibility shock as an emotional slump. Even the neighbor Rita's death mourned more than Dexter, which ultimately also his Colleagues, Detective Quinn (Desmond Harrington) notice that the blood was already on the forensic Kieker. For Dexter, however, it is to think differently, he entrusted the family responsibilities of his wife at night to take down serial killers, but now even responsible for his children (even though Astor and Cody go afterwards to her grandparents) is. ;

And as always when Dexter is suffering from tension, they must be resolved in his murder lust. However, everything else comes after it in one of his murders of lumens (Julia Stiles), one of the victims of Dexter Victims, is observed. Torn between Harry (James Remar) code and its conscience, Dexter finally takes to lumen. Which in turn is only interested in bringing these men to the route, they have abducted, raped and almost killed. Dexter reluctantly offers to help and why not, yet can be lumen of revenge and killing Dexter's desires in this way combine sent. Too bad that push Quinn's research in the best manner Doakes-Dexter in the corner.

In a sense, the fifth season a "Best Of" of the predecessor. Quarrels can Dexter in the first episodes so to convey to the outside world to believe that he is Rita's death occurs, it then with lumen, a woman in his life, in whose presence he like Lila (Jaime Murray) is the way it really , and at the same time - as Miguel (Jimmy Smits) in front of her - becomes his accomplice. In addition, it encourages the cliffhanger scenario Dexter fears that his son could be just as he himself so he would not Dexter Dexter, he would not be developed. A particularly beautiful in this episode is Teenage Wasteland where Dexter went so far as a social man and the father is aged, that Harry himself his own respectively In awareness of praise.

The fact that the series makers pick up on many of these points more likely to start and throw at 50 km of the actual act of aboard, is pardonable. Thus, the resulting outward emotional emptiness will disappear after Rita's death as fast as the concern that Harrison suffered a serious injury. In terms of personality, this personal component of Dexter unquestionably worked out well, but also in the first four episodes - although the kick-off My Bad a resounding - a somewhat lengthy procedure that brings the action to a halt and in the soul Sightseeing loses . As the fifth season by Dexter now makes it special is the fact that then a fireworks is burned.

The fifth episode First Blood takes off, both in terms of action to the revenge of Dexter and lumen, and with respect to Quinn's involvement the corrupt and redundant Cops Liddy (Peter Weller) in his investigation against Dexter. In its second half Dexter wins then such a voltage that one of the good old days of the year reminds debut feels. Dexter's search for the perpetrators of kidnapping eventually lead to lumen Self-help guru Jordan Chase (Johnny Lee Miller) and his bizarre company. And as one of Chase's complicity (which Chris Vance, Scott Grimes and Shawn Hatosy count) makes a mistake, is Dexter's "case" is also a matter for his sister Debra (Jennifer Carpenter).

for Dexter himself, this means that he has his hands full. Because in addition to his father duties to Harrison, he must also keep Quinn from the body and take care of lumen, while he simultaneously tries to get closer to Chase Bank. All these scenarios are so skillfully balanced and at the end of the season increased (the last two episodes Hop a Freighter and The Big One may be regarded as highlights), that even the annoying subplot about the relationship between Batista (David Zayas) and LaGuerta ( Lauren Vélez forgotten) make, as well as compensate for the rather uninterested going to start passing Santa Muerte determination. And of course, is also Masuka (CS Lee) is not too bad for comic relief ensured.

were the whole, the cast with Julia Stiles, Johnny Lee Miller and Peter Weller in the fall of a gift. While Dexter was not directed in a completely new direction, rather old new issues addressed and reformed. And even if you are in the season finale, perhaps one or the other, the series to a new level hievende, Perfecting would have liked, the fifth season of Dexter mood has done and fascinating. That have succeeded in qualitatively to tie almost the first year (only the bumpy start prevented more) for a fifth season is a huge achievement. And one can only wonder what surprises the authors ready next fall for the most popular serial killer of American television landscape.
