Dexter Season 6

This is going to contain spoilers for the first episode of season 6 , if you have yet to watch this, go watch it here...http://tubeplus.me/player/1747366/Dexter/season_6/episode_1/Those_Kinds_of_Things/

Dexter might be at the more drama, csi -ish end of what is considered horror, but i think the character of Dexter Morgan, over the past 6 years has taken his place along side the Hannibal Lecters and Norman Bates, he is every much the protagonist as those serial killers are in there respective films and lets face it even the slashers Pyscho paved the way for , does any one every cheer for the teens having sex in the woods that Jason impales or are we cheering for mr . Vorhees?
The first thing very noticeable about the season opener is how fleshed out these characters have become, the cast's chemistry is undeniable. Hall is charming as usual in the lead role, with Friday Night Lights out of the way , and Madmen, not making a come back is any one standing in his way for an Emmy?
like true Blood, we have long veered from the path of the Lindsey books, where supernatural elements had begun to be introduced , at least where i left off , the books are never at the library or on paperback when i have the money for them, though it's a series i would like to continue reading .
This season's theme is very blatant , religion, with the new big bad using Biblical themes in his killing , to Dexter enrolling his son in Catholic school, there is a good balance of story and violence, the snakes in the intestines scene was the high light of this episode, Dexter gets three kills in polishes off an old high school class-mate, i wonder what his body is at i'm sure , it's higher off camera as we don't get the highschool to where the first season began updates in flash back sequences , but if i remember correctly he already had a good collection of blood samples by the time we first see this case, i'm sure there's a site dedicated to that .
the threat of getting caught isn't present , there were of course several tense moments with that last season and a chunk of time has past in between seasons as Harrison is old enough for pre-school. While it's not a cliff hanger to drag you into the season, it was a satisfying start for me and i'm glad he's back on the air, six seasons , should see the show in the twilight years, i can't see it going on as long as Smallville for ten years so would expect next season to sadly be the last , but who knows ,after watching a stream i now have 3 weeks to wait and shows like Supernatural, which will get a review , the Secret Circle and vampire diaries to tide me over, i imagine board walk empire and the walking dead should be cranking it back up as well and another season of Californication should not be far behind. i know those two they aren't horror, but i watch them , both well written.
