#DEXTER SCRIPT SEASON 6 FULL#
Hall is very good with fish-out-of-water comedy and the initial reunion scenes take full advantage, between his bemused reaction to his co-attendees’ dancing (“I have no idea what Hammer Time is. This is also a very funny episode, thanks to the A plot which sees Dexter attend his high-school reunion in order to exact justice on a murderous fellow student. And fair play to them – their replacement of a murdered man’s intestines with snakes is one of the show’s most impressively grim moments to date.
The religious theme dovetails conveniently into what will presumably become the season-long villain plotline, wherein Colin Hanks ( Mad Men) and Edward James Olmos ( Battlestar Galactica) play two very, very creepy blokes who do some very, very creepy things in the name of the Book of Revelation. Setting aside the idea that these two siblings – whose close bond has been well established and remains the show’s most interesting dynamic – have never discussed religion before, it’s just plain out of character for the boundlessly irreverent Deb to take the position she does. First, there’s Dexter’s exchange with an overly judgmental nun working at the school into which he hopes to enrol his son, during which he admits, “I don’t believe in anything.” Later, there’s an odd scene with his spiky adoptive sister Deb (Jennifer Carpenter), in which she seems to berate him for his lack of belief. But the clunkily written discussions of religion in this episode don’t bode well. There’s always been a dim element of the vengeful god about Dexter as a character, dispensing violent (if not quite biblical) justice to those who have escaped punishment for their sins. Rather than Aftermath, the buzzword for this year, it seems, is Religion. The most recent finale saw Dexter abandoned by newfound kindred spirit Lumen (Julia Stiles), whose dark impulses turned out to be more short-lived than his own, but several months have elapsed between seasons. Where last season’s premiere had a head start in terms of drama, picking up just moments after the shock reveal of Dexter’s wife’s murder, there’s no such instant hook this time around.
#DEXTER SCRIPT SEASON 6 SERIES#
Dexter was never in any danger, but his long-overdrawn series is at risk of becoming, despite its provocative premise, wholly conventional.
