"This was the first year that Dexter really and truly acted just plain dumb..."

—

IGN

"Hall continues to impress with his sly comic skills and unreadable face."

—

Slant Magazine

"It almost feels too light."

—

New York Daily News

"Uneven, overloaded, even peculiar."

—

Entertainment Weekly

"Dexter has convinced me that perhaps it's got a few gasps left in its lungs, and that's not a minor accomplishment."

—

A.V. Club

"There's an interesting switcheroo halfway and a game- altering climax, but this is not quite Dexter at his blood-splattered best."

—

Empire Magazine

"The early Dexters were clever, sly and engrossing but, sad to say, the show seems to be suffering a slow and painful death."

—

The Telegraph

"Wherein a series that once deftly balanced dry wit and pulp opera becomes paralyzed by chatter, and the most memorable scene involves a floater's gut leaking CGI snakes."
