You can’t choose your own family-that’s a fact of life!- and Detective Debra Morgan (Jennifer Carpenter) will find this out the hardest way possible in the seventh and penultimate series of the dark comedy drama with a killer attitude, back tonight on the UK’s FOX channel.
The fairer sex continues to be our Dex’s Achilles Heel-most notably with his confused feelings for his sister, and vice versa, as she tries to come to terms with his killing ethics and simultaneously battling against her dedication as a policewoman in not arresting him straight off the bat, and just as a new relationship enters his life in the form of Hannah McKay (Yvonne Strahovsky).
The family man killer with a heart of gold and a twinkle in his eye, so well personified by Michael C. Hall, is going to feel the pressure of his life, career, and those he cares for when additional bloody friction comes via the arrival of several deranged newcomer baddies from Eastern Europe with their own personal code of honour and brutality (with hopefully another terrific TV success for Ray Stevenson after his fine work for HBO on ROME a few years back), as well as the police reinvestigating the previously thought case-closed work of the Bay Harbour Butcher from the series recent past, which had once successfully shielded Dex from further pursuit. Now it looks like Dexter’s handiwork and cover-ups will be coming back to haunt him big time this season!
DEXTER just wouldn’t be the same without the oncoming high body count and its harmonious, often symbiotic, black humour and clever, often never see it coming dark twists and turns. Though let’s hope that the show is firmly back on form this year by the writers/producers, after last year’s mixed story-telling success.
