Seeing Red

The "Dexter" series is awful, wonderful, deliciously disturbing. The basic premise is so bizarre as to ensure emotional ambivalence in every viewer.

The unfolding of episodes... eagerly awaited in this corner.... has taken a rather bland direction over episodes 6-9. But episode ten seemed to capture the magic again. I notice that the main writing credit goes to Kevin Maynard.

May Mr. Maynard have many more opportunities to keep a good show good. It seems his efforts raised the bar. I hope those in important places regarding the show production take notice.

The tenth episode in the first season Dexter is by far the best one yet. The intensity level increases by a whole lot as we dig deeper into the case of the Ice Truck Killer and the past of Dexter. Regarding Dexter's past, we really begin to see some interesting developments here. This episode does not lack in anything and because of the fast-pacing, you just want to see what happens next.

This episode, "Seeing Red," has the killer striking again and leaves a room covered entirely in blood. As Dexter investigates, we learn more about his solemn past. Meanwhile, Debra and Rudy begins to fight with each other. Angel uncovers what could be possibly a big clue in the case. Rita may lose custody over her kids after she attacked Paul and Dexter cannot allow that to happen.

Overall, this is definitely the best episode of the series so far. It's beginning to tie things up and we can expect some big things to happen in the next two episodes. For one, I am extremely excited to see what they bring. If this is any indication, I daresay it's gonna be one tense time for Dexter and the Miami Police Department. I rate this episode 10/10.

This may not contain spoiler about the episode but how a character thinks. Most of the shows that I've watches shows the after effects of manipulation. For instance, monster (anime) or it's indian copy Asur shows the after effects and never let you dwell into why or how are the characters are doing things for him (the manipulator).. And you could see the same in other shows as well. But rudy, what a damn brilliant writing he has.. He perfectly does everything. He knows what to do, when to do, to be clean, the right words, and it all seems convincing.. I really love the way he is presented. Truly shows how would a real life manipulator cam be. Just would like to know what he's upto at the end.. Love this ❤

Dexter receives a jar with blood with the keys of room 103 of the Marina View Hotel inside. When Debra and Sergeant Doakes arrive in the crime scene, they get impressed with the bloodshed and calls back-up and forensics. Dexter recalls suppressed memories from his childhood and is incapable of staying in the room while Rudy uses Debra to get close to Dexter. Meanwhile Paul presses charge against Rita for being assaulted and she is summoned to the precinct first and later to court. Due to the risk of Rita losing the custody of the children to Paul, Dexter gets emotionally evolved and fixes the problem. When Angel finds a possible lead to the Ice Truck Killer with a prostitute, he consults Rudy about cases of acrotomophilia, i.e., people attracted to persons with an amputation. Lt. Laguerta faces Captain Matthews and tells the truth about the Ice Truck Killer to the press.

In this great episode, Dexter recalls a traumatic experience from his childhood when he lost his mother and certainly the motive for his dysfunctional behavior. Debra is completely blinded by her crush on Rudy and Dexter and she are giving ammunition for the next steps of the Ice Killer Truck. Dexter resolves the problem of Rita but exposes himself to Paul. Angel gets close to the Ice Truck Killer and lets see if he will survive to the attack. My vote is eight.

Title (Brazil): "Banhado em Sangue" ("Bathed on Blood")
