Dexter’s third season has endured plenty of shots from critics. I, too, think of it as the show’s worst.
It’s not surprising, of course, that one such group, Parents Television Council, doesn’t much like Dexter. This long story in the Independent out of Britain mentions the group briefly, and quotes its president. He says that the biggest problem with Dexter is that it encourages the audience to root for a serial killer, and to hope that this serial killer is never brought to justice.
But for hardcore fans, there are plenty of opportunities to catch members of Dexter’s gang in other roles until Showtime brings the charismatic serial killer and his buddies back for another season.
Not everyone, though, agrees. Mary McNamara, a television critic for the LosAngeles Times, listed Dexter — and its third season, specifically — as one of the few bright spots of the recent television season. You can read her column here.
Dexter’s very own Michael C. Hall recently earned a Screen Actor’s Guild nomination for best actor for his portrayal of the serial killer with a conscience.
I’ve made no secret of the fact that I’ve found Dexter’s third season to be the weakest in the show’s history. Yesterday’s season finale did nothing to change that opinion.
The bad news is that another season of Dexter is coming to an end, with the last episode of Season 3 airing this Sunday. The good news is that the show, despite what has probably been its weakest season, is still on sound ground as far as ratings and popularity go. Showtime has already committed to a fourth season.-
Dexter has been nominated in the Best Television Show — Drama category. To this I ask, “What took so long?” Dexter should have been nominated for its excellent first season, too.
Now, if only Entourage wasn’t so completely hopeless these days. Or Weeds. Or Heroes. But you can’t have everything, right? I’ll just have to be satisfied with Dexter and Lost. Not a bad combination.
I know this is a blog devoted to Dexter. But at the beginning of this third season, I began to have my own doubts about this show. I couldn’t quite figure out where Dexter was going this season. The show was becoming its own mess of normally smart characters doing some rather dumb things. |
