Dexter Season 4: Meh

Dexter on Showtime.
Since its apparent departure from production quality (since about season 2 ended), coincidentally about the same time the show stopped using its source material, the "dark passenger" books or whatever (still funny when Dexter mentions 'the dark passenger' on the show, let out a little giggle). The show lost its cinematic scope, the arc had swayed and the noir seemed like a gag. The acting got worse, with David Zayas (detective/sergeant/blahblah Angel Batista) being the worst of all...It even felt like Michael C. Hall was phonin it in after season 2...

Jennifer Carpenter is on and off as far as her acting and plays a somewhat obnoxious character who loves to drop F-bombs. Shes also on and off with her hotness, what gives?

The show is still kicking into season 4 despite Jimmy Smits unnecessary "star" addition to the cast for season 3 . I have to give praise where its due, the guy who plays Vince Masuka (C.S. Lee) NAILS it, this guy is entirely convincing and never gives a cringing performance as the perverted forensic analyst (ha ha) Hes given his A game since Season 1 and is goin strong...I especially liked the gag shot of him dropping Dexter off at home in his monster truck listening to his country music, there is no vehicle that would suit Vince Masuka more...why doesnt this guy have his own show?

Put your hands together for C.S. Lee!

There are many reasons to stop watching this show, Ive listed a few & not to mention the completely unstimulating and kinda gross romantic subplot in season 4 between Batista and La Guerta. Ewwwww its like watching your parents flirt.

David Zayas, Thanks for nothing Buddy.

I guess at this point, even if the show has jumped the shark (or nuked the fridge)...I still havent stopped watching, if only for the clever lines of dialogue...and I only mean when you can hear what Dexter is actually thinking. Thats your saving grace buddy, if you lose that, Im out.
