TV: Dexter

If you've liked Dexter in the past, you'll continue to like him. (And honestly, how could you not like Michael C. Hall's murderously good performance?) However, if you think this is going to be the season that changes him, it's not looking good so far; after negating all the forward momentum of the last season, these first three episodes settle back into a comfortable groove and resign themselves to simply throwing more obstacles at Dexter than ever before--most of whom (Peter Weller, Julia Stiles) we don't even meet in these episodes. And yet, you can't stop watching, can you? Check out my review for Slant Magazine here.
