The Showtime Original Series DEXTER™ is back with an all-new time of year, and this time America’s favorite serial killer has gone from freewheeling single to responsible husband and doting dad. Maintaining an average-guy front elevation while satisfying his need to kill has never been simple. But now, with wife and kids in tow, Dexter’s got more to lose then ever, as he gets drawn into a deadly game with a killer every bit as perilous — and conflicted — as he is.Unfolding with tragic predictability, Dexter‘s fourth time of year is a taut game of cat and mouse between Dexter (Emmy nominee Michael C. Hall) and Arthur Mitchell, “a very special kind of monster,” unnervingly described by John Lithgow in his Emmy and Golden Globe-winning performance. Whoever guest stars in seasons to come has a very hard act to follow. (Never mind all the blood, Mitchell’s greeting, “Hello, Dexter Morgan,” from the episode of the same name, will disturb your sleep.) But let’s not forget Hall’s consistently cutting-edge work. The Dexter saga has a rich back-tale and mythology, but for those new to the series and lured to this time of year by Lithgow’s justly celebrated performance, time of year 4 is a excellent place to start, because it represents something of a new beginning for Dexter himself. Married at the end of time of year 3, he is now dreaming of “having it all” as a husband and father, trying to juggle the demands of his job as a Miami Metro Police Department blood-spatter analyst, his new family, and his other calling as a serial killer. But he is more conflicted than ever. His new baby keeps him up nights, and the normally precise and disciplined Dexter finds himself exhausted to the point of making mistakes in court. “Who knew life could get so unsimple?” he questions ahead of schedule on. Dexter and Mitchell are not the only characters harboring secrets. Some we can bring up (Lieutenant Maria LaGuerta and Detective Angel Batista are in a link), but others we dare not even hint at (the episode “Hungry Man” has a doozy of a cliffhanger revelation). As the time of year unfolds, an incognito Dexter insinuates himself into Arthur’s life and discovers disturbing parallels in their lives. Meanwhile, now-retired serial killer hunter Frank Lundy (Keith Carradine), who nearly uncovered Dexter’s identity back in time of year 2, returns to question for his help in catching the Trinity Killer. His reappearance upends the life of Dexter’s sister Debra (Jennifer Carpenter), a homicide detective and Lundy’s former lover. Debra has also been digging into the past of her late policeman father Harry (James Remar) and learns more about her twisted family tree. Disappointingly, interviews with Hall, Lithgow, and other cast members can be accessed only on a PC, but the DVD does contain episodes of Californication, Lock ‘N Load, and The Tudors. –Donald Liebenson
