I really enjoyed this season of "Dexter". It is such a well written show. The writers constantly come up with surprising plot twists and unexpected antics. The addition of Jimmy Smits was brilliant! He is so well known for being a "good guy" that it was great to see him in a bit darker role. I had to laugh the first time I heard him say "f*ck". For me, a huge fan of "LA Law" and "The West Wing", it was almost surreal. The chemistry between him and Michael C Hall is really pretty good. I love that you aren't quite sure if they are going to stay friends or not. There are some great character developments going on in season three also. I especially like how they are really defining Rita, Dexter's unaware girlfriend. I also enjoyed the storyline associated with Maria. Her character really goes through an emotional wringer on this show. I think it is great how she stays strong and deals with whatever is thrown at her. I recommend this show to everyone. I do recommend to watch the first two seasons first though. There are so many references to past episodes I would think that someone starting to watch during the third season would be a little lost.Read full review
I love Dexter, and definitely enjoyed watching this season, but I was not glued to my seat this time. This is the least enjoyable of the 5 seasons, but I still enjoyed certain episodes. My biggest issues stem from the fact that I was born and raised in Miami and my husband is Cuban, so I know a lot about Cuban culture. Being from Miami, I was disappointed by Jimmy Smitts' performance as a Cuban. I would assume they had a consultant for the show regarding Cuban culture, but whomever it was, they missed the mark. His accent went in and out, and his Brooklyn accent comes out frequently. Also, in the Cuban culture, many people add "-ito" to the end of someone's name when referring to them affectionately. I only heard that once, by Ramon in one of the later episodes, referring to their dead younger brother "Oscar-ito." Smitts' just fell flat for me, and his character did not ring true. Unfortunately, this really put a damper on how I felt about the entire season. If you are not from Miami or another area that embodies a lot of Cuban culture, you may not notice and feel just fine, but his performance was just a huge disappointment for me. Also, the story line throughout the season fell flat, and the way the season ended, I felt no need to go on to season 4. Luckily, I had heard so much about season 4, I gave it a chance any way, and that was the right decision. Season 4 brings the series back to life, and so far, season 5 is continuing to carry on the legacy that is Dexter. Season 3 isn't bad, it's just not that great in comparison to all the other seasons.Read full review
Dexter is one of the best dramas that Ive seen in a long time. Season three is great and it only gets better. I highly recommend watching until the series is through. You wont regret it. Awesome cast!!!

The series gets more exciting for every episode. The thrill of watching Dexter conspire and plan new kills really sets a cool chill down the spine. The brilliance of it all, the acting, the surreal feeling of a connection with Dexter's morbid ways. Everything just add up to a fantastic thriller. And best of all, it never gets old. The only disappointment in this series for me was the first episode in season two. So for those watching it, I'd rather just skip that episode. Don't know, but it really disappointed, and didn't give the satisfaction that the other episodes so gladly gave. The episodes give a lot of variety, both seeing Dexter evolve mentally, and the excitement always builds up to the end, and usually the episodes fade to the calm voice of Dexter Morgan as he gives you a phrase that will blow you away and make the hairs on your arms stand up and clap. The series has proved to be one of the best ones I've ever had the joy to experience. I really recommend Dexter to everyone, especially those of great interest in the thriller genre, and for those just waiting for a groundbreaking series. Its as addictive as heroin!Read full review
