    plot thickens.

    In my opinion, a rocky start to the season now redeemed by "Smoke Signals." a lackluster plot thickens with characters all throughout. Harrison finds his own side story as he has a choice to make that could either impact his life in various ways, or impact another students in another way that would eat him with guilt. We see a old Dexter vibe as a heated confrontation in the woods with Dexter and the PD . The intensity, trickery, and comicalness blended perfectly for me. Although Debra in the first couple of episodes was dreadful in my opinion, they brought it up a notch with her appearances, seemed a lot more quirky this time out. We also get a harder look at the current antagonist, who is terrifying. The scene was vulgar and gut wrenching. Perfect traits for a return of Dexter antagonist. All throughout this episode keeps your attention in different ways. Definitely can't wait too see what happens from here.

    Good episode but I don't like the timelapse opening

    Good episode yet again, I like how things are going. However, I don't like the new opening where they show us a fraction of a second of upcoming scenes in the episode. I just wants to see it in the episode, there is absolutely no need to see a fast timelapse of things that going to happen in 30 min or so. Didn't see anyone mentioning the opening thingy so I wanted to share my thoughts :)

    Best Episode so far!

    Wow.. I thought the first two episodes were perfect, but after this new episode i must say i was wrong.. This episode is just more Perfect as the previous two! You can feel in the air that something big is coming and especially consequences for Dexter i think.. man one episode each week is not enough, i cant wait .. i have big big hopes the series gets the emotionally end that it deserves.

    The episode was beyond imagination and exceeded the limits of beauty. And we, the followers, are promised a great masterpiece, so let the TV prepare for it And starting from the third episode, we see a terrible and beautiful acceleration. The events and all the episodes made me stunned after each episode ended And I thank the writer for what he provides, and I trust his words that the end will explode the Internet.

    Dad. Wow. My new favorite word.

    Ten years have passed, fans were unsatisfied with the final 8th season of "Dexter" and Showtime understood that some adjustments had to be done, but also, that there is still a fanbase and interrest in this show.

    Now, Dexter is back, episode 3 and it's getting really really good.

    Without spending too much words: I like Harrison and the development between Dexter and him.

    This episode is better than the first and second one. It's highly enjoyable, suspenseful, with some surprises and teasing into directions that I can't wait for the next episode: I've finally arrived in this new season of "Dexter: New Blood".

    My rating for this episode: 8 stars.

    Highly recommended. Watch it!

      Dexter puts Matt's body in the furnace, but grabs the access door without gloves.

      The access doors are mounted on thick insulating doors and the draft of the furnace draws from outside-in, drawing heat away from the handles. Also, handles that heat up would be useless, if they can't be touched.
