    The Bottom Line: "Superb"

    Miami's favorite serial killer returns with a new season filled with change and unexpected surprises. Now free of Harry's Code, Dexter's next victim is also wanted by DA Miguel Parda. While in pursuit of a drug dealer named Freebo, Dexter unintentionally kills an innocent bystander, who turns out to be related to DA Miguel Parda. The two men form an unusual friendship based upon Dexter's curiousity about Parda's relative. Meanwhile, Debra tries her luck at changing her image and lifestyle while working towards her detective shield. Debra's attempt rise up the ranks are thwarted by her crass attitude and Lt. LaGuarda. One the homefront, Dexter does his best play dad to Astor and Cody, much to the delight of Rita, who ultimately has a big surprise for Dexter. Jimmy Smits makes an outstanding addtition to the cast and his acting is impressive as ever. DA Parda may be a by-the-book DA on the outside but I do sense some dark secrets lurking on the inside. Just the type of person Dexter could relate to.

    While the start of the season seems to have lost the edginess of the past two seasons, Dexter is still in fine form and doesn't show any signs of running out of steam. The writing is still strong and the performaces are noteworthy. Season 3 appears to be off to a very strong start.

    The Bottom Line: "Great"

    Once again, the writer's managed to take an overused story and add an interesting twist. The source of the outbreak leads Mac and Stella to the Antiquities section of the New York Public Library where it's discovered that an old book is the source of the poison. The funniest moments were Stella's interviews with two suspects-a tattoo artist and a former nuclear power plant vandal who is now a Monk. The most interesting, and the most disturbing aspect of the story was finding out who was responsible for lacing the book with Thallium. It's no wonder why people hate lawyers. Greed is never a good thing. As usual, the writing was good. The performances were outstanding.

    The Bottom Line: "Great"

    This episode takes the show back to it's procedural roots with no romance and a pretty interesting case. The death of a valet who was found burned to death near a beach party is linked to a an organized crime syndicate specializing in stolen gas. The case takes an interesting twist when it's discovered that the leader of the operation is linked to human trafficing, using young woman as a means of distracting unsuspecting gas station attendants. Despite a bit of silliness in the storyline, it's nice to know that Horatio is always one step ahead of the criminals. The script was focused and the acting was good. Hopefully, the show is heading for it's best season yet.
