Product Description

The Showtime Original Series DEXTER™ is back with an all-new season, and this time America's favorite serial killer has gone from freewheeling bachelor to responsible husband and doting dad. Maintaining an average-guy facade while satisfying his need to kill has never been easy. 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 dangerous — and conflicted — as he is.

Amazon.com

Unfolding with tragic inevitability, Dexter's fourth season 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 portrayed 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-story and mythology, but for those new to the series and lured to this season by Lithgow's justly celebrated performance, season 4 is a good place to start, because it represents something of a new beginning for Dexter himself. Married at the end of season 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 methodical Dexter finds himself exhausted to the point of making mistakes in court. "Who knew life could get so unsimple?" he asks early on. Dexter and Mitchell are not the only characters harboring secrets. Some we can mention (Lieutenant Maria LaGuerta and Detective Angel Batista are in a relationship), but others we dare not even hint at (the episode "Hungry Man" has a doozy of a cliffhanger revelation). As the season 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 season 2, returns to ask 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

I've been watching on Amazon Prime for some time now, love the show...the other night when I went to continue watching season 4 episode 8 I was alerted that I would have to subscribe to SHOWTIME to continue watching!! Bad deal all around, and it is a very old show to boot. I was offered a free 7-day trial with an increase to $10.99 per month subscription. Extremely disappointed as this is likely the only show I would watch on Showtime, and I have many other channel subscriptions as well. Now I see my Amazon Prime membership is going up by quite a lot too. Shame on you Amazon and Showtime.

Love this series. At first thought it would be too gruesome but it's easy to get over with the sarcasm of Dexter. Plus the pleasure one feels when the bad guys get what's coming to them. Can't stand Dexter's wife Rita...her voice, her role, etc. Gags me. But this season makes you want to keep watching - wherever season 5 takes us.

Is it fair to ask a serial-killer to multi-task? And, the writers go to sleep on the job

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 12, 2016

Verified Purchase

I have watched seasons 1-4 back-to-back and there are spoilers in this review. Our serial-killer hero, Dexter, is not a born psychopath, but a good kid made into a killer by the profound trauma of witnessing his mother murdered by chain saw and then being forced to sit in her blood for two days before being rescued by a cop, Harry Morgan, who becomes his foster dad and teaches the emotionally empty shell how to pretend to be normal and in order to keep Dexter safe, how to channel his demons into the constructive path of hunting and killing only murderers. The lessons from Dexter’s adoptive dad Harry echo internally as his ghost returns as the voice of guidance and internal dialogue.

Season 1 is a dramatic bullet-train of non-stop heart-pounding thrills – in which Dexter is toyed with by a fabulously talented serial killer who seems to know him intimately and whose skill seems to exceed his own. Dexter works as a blood-splatter analyst for Miami Metro Homicide and helps his step-sister cop Debra hunt the Ice Truck Killer who leaves beautifully exsanguinated corpses. Family ties become strained and the question posed is what sort of family ties a serial killer can have as Dexter struggles to maintain a relationship with his girlfriend Rita and her two kids.

By season 2 Dexter’s relationship with Rita is thrown into turmoil with the reappearance of her drug-addict husband and a passionate romance with Lila, an artist, tormented with her own demons, who is determined to have Dexter as her soul-mate, but who keeps threatening Rita and the kids. Season 3 finds Dexter exploring the prospects for friendship with a rogue prosecutor with his own sense of justice. Dexter teaches him how to kill but the friendship sours as Ramon Prado pursues private vendettas with his new-found skills and, like Lila, must eventually fall under Dexter’s knife. Except for Rita and her kids, an intimate relationship with Dexter is a bit like conjugation with a black-widow spider.

Part of the series’ charm is the way we find ourselves rooting for a serial killer trying to act the way he should when he can’t feel it. All those moments of emotional isolation, of feeling different but trying to fit in, of acting how we think we should in order to belong – make Dexter a sympathetic figure. The show is also packed with wry irony and double entendres that put us in Dexter’s shoes, and mordant wit as when Dexter is ready to kill a psychologist who pushes his patients to suicide – but puts it off for a few days because he needs another session with him to address some intimacy issues he has with Rita. Finally, the only people with whom Dexter can let his hair down and be himself are his victims, strapped to the abattoir table; not only do they have so much in common but they are hardly in a position to hold what he says against him.

One of the best critical reviews of The Final Season describes how the writers gave up in the final season and the show went to pot; I suspected that the decline would come earlier because it takes a lot of suspension of disbelief to watch a full-time serial killer, boyfriend and father surrogate, homicide forensics expert, sympathetic brother find time to juggle it all – and indeed by Season 4 things break down quite badly. Dexter is on the trail of Trinity, the USA’s most successful uncaught serial killer with a 30+ year record. Trinity hides in plain sight as a model citizen, father, deacon and home-builder. He takes troops of workers around the country to build homes for the needy and kills at these distant locations. Dexter undertakes to enter Trinity’s life as one of his helpers and becomes an intimate of Trinity’s family and church. When Dex decides that it’s time for Trinity to go, Dex offers a confidence that triggers a profound guilt in the senior serial-killer. Dex stalks Trinity to his job site, takes out his anesthetizing needle and sneaks up from behind but sees Trinity about to leap to his death by impaling himself on the rebar below. As the very large Trinity jumps, Dex grabs his wrist and unlike real life where they both go over or you can’t hold on, Trinity hangs there while Dex has the insight that it is okay for Trinity to die so long “as it’s by my hand.” So just as Dex is about to release Trinity’s wrist, 4-5 co-workers come up and grab the boss and pull him to safety. Whoops! Whatever happened to the meticulous take-no-risks Dexter who never comes close to being caught? Dexter doesn’t have even a moment’s reflection about what he was doing planning to snatch Trinity from the middle of a fully occupied work site.

It gets better, or worse. Dex becomes a softy and wants to start saving people instead of just killing the bad guys. One of Trinity’s victims is a 10-year old boy drugged and put into a duffle bag who will be dumped at night into a cement fill at the job-site. (Don’t ask how Trinity gets a large pit full of wet cement in the middle of the night at the build site.) Rather like rescuing the damsel tied to the tracks, Dex arrives in the nick of time, but Trinity dumps the bag into the cement and then the two commence to struggle over the shovel in Trinity’s hands. Dex wins, whacks Trinity in the head and he goes down. Now, certainly this is a moment with not a lot of time to spare, but certainly a few seconds for a couple more good whacks to make sure Trinity is done for; or a slit with the shovel edge against a jugular so the bag can be pulled out without Trinity’s interference. But Dex gives one whack, then turns toward the sinking bag and here is the kicker: the serial-killer manual 101 says than when engaged in hand-to-hand life-and-death struggle with another experienced serial-killer you don’t let him out of your sight unless he’s dead or permanently disabled. But Dex simply turns his back on Trinity and …

Well, folks, the writers started to shut down and call it quits in Season 4. Between Goodwill, Amazon and E-bay I managed to buy Seasons 1-5 for under $24.00 (shipping included) but it’s 50-50 whether Season 5 will ever get watched. By the way, Showtime must have produced the DVDs on a shoestring. The only one with subtitles was my sole Blu-ray purchase, Season 3; and both Season 3 and Season 4 begin with mandatory inescapable Showtime advertisements.

"If I want to be around for my son, I have to do this right. I'm... killing for two now."

If you've only ever experienced John Lithgow being all jovial in 3RD ROCK FROM THE SUN - if you missed what he brought in, say, RICOCHET or RAISING CAIN - then you may be gobsmacked when you see his stint on DEXTER, when his twisted side came out to play. John Lithgow is the reason why the 4th season of DEXTER is universally regarded as the best one so far in the series. Of course, Michael C. Hall, who plays Dexter, isn't exactly just twiddling his thumbs, either.

Season 4 catches us up to our charming and newly married serial killer Dexter Morgan, raising three kids and having relocated to a suburban paradise so perfect there've been sightings of the Stepford wives. Dexter is now absolutely living the dream, and never mind that his spanking new baby is keeping him up nights, is affecting his job performance as blood spatter analyst for Miami Metro PD. Even more intriguingly, it's upended the routines of his dark calling. Dexter has been off his game, hasn't put down a serial killer in a while. In fact, Season 4's first episode amusingly plays off the opening credits sequence to demonstrate just how off his game he is. And when he finally gets back to his killing ways, he is so sleep-deprived that he loses track of where he stashed the corpse (or its hacked up bits, anyway). It's a lot of fun seeing Dexter, usually so meticulous and in control, running around in a full-scale panic.

Season 4 finds Dexter in a collision course with the Trinity Killer, him what kills in threes. Keith Carradine returns, with his Henry Fonda-esque delivery, as now retired FBI profiler Frank Lundy who is in Miami to partly renew acquaintances with Detective Debra Morgan but mostly to pursue his pet project: tracking down the Trinity Killer, the only serial killer to have eluded him (of course, Dexter two seasons ago also eluded Lundy). Lundy's investigations lead him to believe that the Trinity Killer had been secretly plying his craft for 30 years, making him officially the most successful serial killer to not be caught, a revelation which awes Dexter.

This is the most harrowing season yet. There's a parallel investigation that goes on for most of this season, revolving around a rash of tourist murders, but that's just icing on the cake. It's mostly all about Dexter's interactions with Trinity, and Michael C. Hall and Lithgow do their characters justice (but Jennifer Carpenter also again kills it with her terrific performance). John Lithgow won a Golden Globe and an Emmy for his role of the tormented Trinity Killer. This time out, the show does a sort of reverse presentation of its season's big bad. From jump we see Lithgow's character for the vile creature that he is. In Season 4's opening episode, "Living the Dream," we see the Trinity Killer at work and he, in the first few minutes, does something which the Skinner and Jimmy Smits from the previous season were never able to do. Trinity scared the sh_- out of me. Further episodes proceed to layer in his personality, presents us his cover, how he's managed to blend in for decades. You can see why Dexter, whose own Dark Passenger renders him severely alienated from normal society, is fascinated with Trinity, why he'd want to study him. Dexter's inability to immediately dispatch Trinity will cost him dearly. I can't describe the chills that raced up and down my spine when Trinity finally figured out Dexter's true identity, when he confronted our guy. From his lips, a greeting like "Hello, Dexter Morgan." has never sounded more menacing. Season 4, a watershed year, leaves us horrified but oh so riveted and so fascinated. Maybe it's not only Dexter Morgan who harbors these dark cravings.

John Lithgow goes from cold to chilling.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on June 12, 2019

Verified Purchase

The character Dexter has evolved so much since season 1 that I do wonder where the writers want him to go. Presently he lives within the compass of a vigilante serial killer righting wrongs by terminating the culprits who have escaped the law or who are so clever that they are never exposed to the justice system.

He started the series as a single loner hiding as a respectable forensic scientist with the Miami Police Department. Events and the need to appear 'normal' forced him to become a family man, a complication for any serial killer who is compelled to murder, but our Dex does his best despite inroads into his space playing the loving father and dutiful husband.
He even tries to learn more from a fellow serial killer who appears to have adjusted to family life but continues on his killing spree, incorporating both aspects of his personality and habit into his lifestyle.

This all might sound ridiculous but the series is extremely well written and stays on the right side of credible and continues to be most cracking entertainment.
As in all good series the support is paramount and 'Dexter' has an abundance of larger than life characters played excellently by an amazing cast.
There is always a main guest actor that forces the best, or worst, out of Michael C Hall's Dexter and in season 4 the privilege goes to the superb John Lithgow as that mature killer who appears to have mastered his technique and may be Dexter's downfall. There are some surprising twists in the season that will have far reaching consequences and answer the question as to which new direction our anti-hero goes.

Compelling viewing. With English subtitles for the hearing impaired.

A very nearly perfect Dexter season.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on October 7, 2019

Almost everything about season 4 of Dexter happens the way I would wish. At the start we are introduced to a massively scary serial killer, Trinity, played with exquisite stillness and malevolence by the ever magnificent and versatile John Lithgow - possibly one of the creepiest character actors in the business, yet equally comfortable playing a wholesome family guy, or singing and dancing his way through the Michael Caine role in the musical version of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels with sublime comedy chops and a voice as flexible as Rowan Atkinson. After just the first episode, Trinity became an instant screen legend.

The plot unfolds with calculated twists and turns, with scares around every corner. Michael C. Hall wears his Dexter suit with comfort and the relaxed air of an actor who has fully developed his character. Every episode moves the plot seamlessly toward what must surely have been a predetermined conclusion. This season they knew where they were heading. (If not, they are frikking geniuses!)

And towards the end of the season we are treated to a series of legendary screen moments that will be remembered for all time. They really delivered here. And of course, without wanting to give anything away, the finale is devastatingly unexpected and shocking.

Overall, this is my second favourite season. There is only one thing I would change, but to tell you what it is I would have to give away a couple of major spoilers, so I won't!

Highly recommended, but of course if you are new to Dexter please start at the beginning of season one!

As far as long running TV series' go this is by far one of the most accomplished in recent memory. Each season has gone from strength to strength. As each season passes you are left contemplating on where exactly this can go next time round and each time the writers manage to throw you enough of a curve ball to bring you back.

This season delves even deeper into Dexter's mind. His situation becomes even more desperate when a serial killer torments Miami and spins dangerously close to Dexter's own life. Where this season excels over the others is in it's characterisation of the Trinity killer. A cold blooded, controlling man who stalks his prey and relentlessly follows a set pattern of events. A man so well versed in pulling off such heinous crimes, he leaves no evidence and always catches his target.

This is the first time the writers have really gone into the mind of the killer the Miami Metro are trying to bring in. He becomes a very real threat. You really get behind the killers motives and follow his story as well as Dexters. The Trinity killer is the most well written villain we have come across so far and John Lithgow deserves the praise reaped upon him for the portrayal of such a cold, calculated killer.

However you cannot dismiss the other returning players of the piece. As usual Michael C Hall plays Dexter with his usual suave charisma but it is arguably some of the suppporting characters that really get a chance to shine this time round.

The return of Lundy is a welcome surprise as well as Deborah's anguish at the events that shape her investigation throughout the story. Angel and La Guerta's unexpected relationship doesnt quite gel and feels a bit forced. Rita and the family are given a bit more to do this time round as the pressure of family life starts to get in the way. Some characters are given short shrift such as Anton, but this is a minor point.

Overall this season could not have been any better. It is very fast paced and each episode leaves you wanting to find out what happens next with regular revelations. It also has the hardest hitting ending which is harrowing and sad and will stay with you for a while after the credits roll. The ending also proves you never know what is round the corner in Dexter's world.

Dexter 4

Dexter Series 4 picks up exactly where the last series left off. This time Dexter is exhausted by his new family life and is trying to juggle his work, home-life and dark passenger all at the same time.

This series follows the hunt for the Trinity Killer, whom we meet and see in action from the outset. There is none of the second guessing who the killer could be this time, but for a variety of reasons this still manages to be as tense as other series' and is even more tense than series 3.

Frank Lundy makes an appearance again as now retired FBI agent who is tracking Trinity down and Dexter starts to learn from Trinity about the work/killer life balance he is struggling with.

Michael C Hall is as amazing as ever, John Lithgow (as Trinity, don't worry that info doesn't ruin anything) is an inspired choice and he gives the right mix of menace and instability that the character needs. Even better, Jennifer Carpenter, who plays Deb, is actually very good and it may have taken her 4 series to hit her stride but I could watch her without cringing this time.

The story is outstanding and I finished this completely shocked, lets just say the ending is excellent. I can't wait for series 5 to find out more.

The extras are pretty good as well with interviews, commentaries and featurettes on the blood and props in the series.

All in all this in another amazing series and I found it to be much better than series 3. This had me hooked and on the edge of my seat the whole time. Fantastic viewing all round.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on March 14, 2011

Another strong season. Baby Harrison deprives Dexter of sleep, he making mistakes at work - some of them serious. Chief adversary this time round is the Trinity Killer (chillingly played by John Lithgow). Dexter is disturbed to recognize in him too many aspects of himself and fears he may similarly become deranged attempting to keep separate two ways of life. Could he have made a fatal misjudgment - complications abounding with a wife, her two children and now a baby?

Michael C. Hall, as ever, is excellent as Miami's bloodsplatter expert - secretly ensuring retribution for murderers who thought they had got away with it. The ghost of his cop dad remains at hand to advise. Some may consider the subplot of romance between two senior officers a ploy to eke out episodes, but the season contains tension, gore and surprises in abundance - more than enough to satisfy.

12 episodes, the last one with commentary. Bonuses show how stunts and grisly effects were achieved. There is also a quiz to see how closely we have been following. Especially enjoyed was the chat between Lithgow and Hall - chemistry evident, which made their many scenes together so riveting.

With a great central performance, so much humour and style, the series captivates. Should we really be so much on the side of a serial killer? Dexter's good nature, charm and vulnerability make him hard to resist.
