Dexter review – 8×11: ‘Monkey In A Box’

September 16, 2013 by Joe Lipsett

It’s not easy reviewing a show that you’ve grown to hate. You try to remain objective, but often it becomes a case of “waiting to be disappointed.” For the greater part of ‘Monkey In A Box’ I hoped that Dexter would prove me wrong. Inevitably it didn’t.

Dexter review – 8×10: ‘Goodbye Miami’

September 9, 2013 by Joe Lipsett

Dexter continues to limp towards the finish line as a heavily foreshadowed plot unravels in the most conveniently obvious ways. Thank goodness the writers are on hand to explain every little detail to us!

Dexter review – 8×08: ‘Are We There Yet?’

August 19, 2013 by Joe Lipsett

Dexter delivers a surprisingly humourous episode that anticipates one possible series finale outcome. But it’s all just a deception to catch us off-guard with a killer twist.

Dexter review – 8×06: ‘A Little Reflection’

Zzzzzzzzzzzzz…huh, what? Was that meant to be a new episode of Dexter? Because it sure bore all of the hallmarks of a sleeping aid

Dexter review – 8×05: ‘This Little Piggy’

July 29, 2013 by Joe Lipsett

The primary conflict in this first batch of episodes is wrapped up like a body in duct-taped garbage bags as Dexter (Michael C. Hall) and co. learn that all you need is family. Oh…how sweet

Dexter review – 8×03: ‘What’s Eating Dexter Morgan?’

July 15, 2013 by Joe Lipsett

Courtesy of Showtime

Although the title suggests that something is bothering Dexter (Michael C Hall), it’s more appropriate to suggest that Deborah (Jennifer Carpenter) is the one headed off the deep end. And wait…is Quinn (Desmond Harrington) suddenly an integral character on the show???
