Too Woke? I Think Some of You Are Asleep
I'm perplexed at some reviewers complaining that the new Dexter is woke.
Please go back to S1, Ep. 1, and have a look at the diversity within the show. Four of the seven main cast members were non-white. To refresh your memory: LaGuerta (Cuban-American), Batista (Puerto Rican), Doakes (African-American), Masuka (Japanese).
The double amputee seen line dancing could easily be a callback to S1. If you'll remember, Brian Mosier (aka The Ice Truck Killer) worked as a prosthetist and was, what Vince Masuka stated, "an amputee devotee."
This was a near perfect ten for me. I'm dinging it one point because the movement of the white deer seemed a little odd. CGI, perhaps? Still, WAY more believable than the CGI storm in the series finale!
