worst season, especially the first half of the season. lithgow was no big deal, the directing bad, writing was dumb with stupid connections and lame scripts for the actors, a lot with dexter and his in mind thoughts. seasons 1 thru 3 are great. i dont get how people can be so wrong sometimes, best season yet? no way. The best thing they can do to come back from this so so season is to have dexter snap and go on a whole season killing spree, no code. then of course goes back to the code and being good. i can go on and on about how bad the first half of the season was and how so so the second half was, but it should be common sense.

I very much enjoyed the 1st three seasons – it quickly became my favorite show. However, this season took a turn for the worse. Previously, Dexter was able to keep his habit from causing discomfort for the audience by the type of persons he took down, and he was able to keep his personal life separated from his late-night activities. Now with the complications in his life (marriage, cohabitation, kids), the writers were unable to maintain that. If they ever go the way the books have gone, I will totally quit the show. As it is, this season dropped me to a casual viewer rather than a dedicated one.

I've loved the first three seasons. I've never been so riveted by a television program. When I heard that Jon Lithgow was joining the cast I became nervous; bringing on a well-known actor is a classic sign of jumping the shark. The producers hoped to reinvigorate the brand by bringing in outside help. If that was all they had done, the season would have been bearable, bland, but bearable.

Instead, the show commits a mortal sin--it destroys its winning formula in a desperate attempt to win viewers for the next season. It won't work. The series is doomed. It really is too bad they couldn't resist the urge to milk this cow to death.

The real show ended in season 3. If you want to remember Dexter as a great show, walk away at the end of season three. Not only will season four be less enjoyable that the previous three, its needlessly harsh "shocker" ending will make you like the previous seasons less.

Just walk away. Watch something else. Rating: 2 / 5

After brining in Jimmy Smits for season 3, producers informed us that John Lithgow would be joining the cast for season 4.

Knowing this immediately took most of the suspense out of season 4. We knew right away that John Lithgow would die at the hand of Dexter during the last episode. So we are left to watch as Dexter and Trinity connect and await Trinity's inevitable death.

The supporting cast was left on the sidelines this season. They were forced to endure a pathetic storyline of romance problems that are painful to watch.

There were a couple of key characters which were killed off this season so hopefully Dexter can get back to business in season 5. Rating: 1 / 5
