    The Code Rule Nr. 1: Don't get caught!

    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 are still a fanbase and interrest in this show.

    Now, Dexter is back, episode 9 and it's nearly a perfect episode.

    I won't spoiler, that wouldn't be fair for the first view experience of this fine episode.

    I loved the black humor, I loved the tension throughout the whole episode, I loved the soundtrack and the classic Dexter theme right at the perfect point, I loved the main key scenes of this episode and I loved the cliffhanger.

    A tale of morality, justice and family traditions is getting its culmination in this great episode.

    Too bad, it's the penultimate episode of this season.

    Absolute great episode.

    Highly recommended.

    Watch and enjoy it.

    Come on....

    ....give the guy a 'and they lived happily ever after'. He deserves it. Like I thought, the previous episode was just an interlude to a great finale and a great finale it is. There were a couple of moments in this episode that didn't add up but that would be nitpicking. It's yet another great episode from a great season. Now let's see how they are going to finish it off.

    Best episode of the season, and the best Dexter Episode since S7

    The Family Buisness was a brilliant episode. The first 10-15 minutes of this episode had me smiling from ear to ear. Seeing the flashbacks with the music was just.... It's been so long since we've seen this with Dexter.

    Most of this episode follows Dexter and Harrison as they bond and start the "Family Buisness". It was a rollercoaster from start to finish with amazing acting by both actors.

    With only one episode left, I hope to god there is another season. There is no way they can wrap everything up in one episode. There needs to be at least another 1 or 2, but no more than that, we don't want a repeat of last time. But if this is the end, and Dexter gets taken down by some small time cop, the ending will be awful. But I don't think it will be. They wouldn't have brought this legendary character back to end on a bad note. They have something good planned.

    ...and business is good.

    Well, this penultimate episode was the best of the series, thus far. It just took way too long to get here. It's as if the cast and crew are finally rounding into shape just as the series comes to a close. The humor that is essential to the success of 'Dexter' was back. Jack Alcott had his best episode. Plot wise and direction, it recaptured that old 'Dexter' suspense.

    We had to endure only one of Debs tiresome, profane tirades and only had to endure the insufferable podcaster from her voice on her website. All good. Clancy Brown continued with his compelling character and performance.

    The finale is well and truly teed up.

    Like father like son

    Amazing episodes with a money well spent on this one. Im stunned by the events that took place but not surprised because as we know its a mini series eventually any Dexter fan would know or at least have an idea about how this series is going after the 5th episode.

    Sadly, there was some easy-going with our heroes that wouldn't happen on the original series. But you can easily ignore and enjoy watching one of the best episodes this series have!

    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The scene where Dexter looks into the camera and flicks the clown nose prop off of his face was not scripted. It was improvised by Michael C. Hall on set.
    • Goofs
      Dexter was shot in the leg with a high caliber rifle by Kurt's associate. After he quickly bandages it, it is never seen or mentioned again for the remainder of the series, despite being a serious injury that would need medical attention, and an explanation to police.

      He wasn't shot *in* the leg. A bullet in the quad muscle would be crippling. It had to have been a graze since it didn't interfere with his eluding and keeping ahead of Elric. It wasn't serious enough to need medical attention and he certainly wanted to avoid explaining to the police.

      Harrison Morgan: So... you're like... Batman or something.

      Dexter Morgan: I like "The Dark Defender"

    • Crazy credits
      The first half of the end credits have a Christmas pattern similar to the ugly Christmas sweaters that Dexter and Harrison wore when they visited Angela and Audrey.
