Ostensibly the worst season of Dexter, six didn’t
get off to that bad a start. It didn’t really run off the rails until the
episode “Nebraska” which inexplicably replaced Dexter’s imaginary father with
his imaginary brother and sent him to Nebraska to tie up loose ends regarding
the Trinity killer. The season’s whole religious theme, through the
introduction of Brother Sam and the Doomsday Killers, wasn’t explored with any
depth, and although the apocalyptic tableaus were sufficiently creative, the
whole doomsday killer plot became a little tedious. The promotion of Debra
Morgan to homicide lieutenant was of course as ridiculous as the rest of that
character has been, but I guess her presence is too much a part of the series
for that to have changed. Colin Hanks and Edward James Olmos put in fairly
decent performances as the DDK (even if I could see the twist coming from the 2nd
or 3rd episode). Fortunately, even the worst season of Dexter
remains fairly entertaining.
