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

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 continues to plod towards its series finale. While ‘Dress Code’ is better than last week’s reboot, it’s still thuddingly obvious and unsatisfying.

After last week’s breakdown, Dexter (Michael C. Hall) enlists Dr. Vogel (Charlotte Rampling) to fix Deborah (Jennifer Carpenter) before it’s too late. The question is whether she’s already too far gone?

Dexter review – 8×01: ‘A Beautiful Day’

July 1, 2013 by Joe Lipsett

The end has arrived: Dexter S8 – the final season – has begun and things are…tense (to say the least). Last season ended with a cliffhanger as Dexter’s (Michael C. Hall) sister Debra (Jennifer Carpenter) committed murder to protect him. Can their relationship ever be the same?
