Best episode by far
Episode 6 of Dexter: Resurrection, the show has officially hit its stride - and "Cat and Mouse" is the proof. This episode isn't just good; it's vintage Dexter dialed up with a modern edge, the kind of tightly wound psychological thriller that made the original series unforgettable.
The title "Cat and Mouse" is spot-on. The entire episode plays out like a deadly chess game between Dexter and his latest nemesis - and for the first time in a long time, you truly feel like Dexter might be outmatched. The pacing is relentless: every scene simmers with tension, and the writing pulls zero punches. There are no wasted moments. Every glance, every line, every move matters.
Michael C. Hall is still magnetic, but what's really exciting is how much smarter the show feels. The stakes are personal again - not just physically, but psychologically. Dexter's mask is slipping, and what's underneath is darker than we've seen in years. We're watching a man who's fighting not only external threats but his own increasingly unstable instincts.
Without spoiling anything, this episode delivers one of the most satisfying confrontations of the season so far. And the final five minutes? Edge-of-your-seat, hold-your-breath television. You know that old Dexter feeling - when your pulse quickens and you start whispering "don't get caught, don't get caught"? Yeah. That's back.
If "Cat and Mouse" is the turning point of the season, then consider me hooked. It's a reminder that this series doesn't just know how to thrill - it knows how to haunt.
