Mos Def is very very good. IMO his best performance was in HBO's "Something the Lord Made" which was essentially a two-man show between Mos Def and Alan Rickman. He more than held his own for the entire movie.
The scene in Season 5 in the Factory where Lumen shot the guy, and Dexter staged the scene totally cracks me up. Him and Lumen come out after killing that guy and a naked guy covered in wrapping jumps out of Dexters car and Lumen is like ..> "wtf who is that?" just so random and hilarious. I actually start laughing thinking about it. Then Masuka interpreting the crime scene was great too
I found it hard to believe Lumens character never really interrogated Dexter about how/why he does what he does/his history etc
Quinn totally backing off made no sense to me either, he has to know Dexter killed Liddy right?
Lumen leaving didnt play right either, didnt feel right for her character
Its a very rewatchable show though, Even Season 5 which was subpar. I just fast forwarded through the bull**** like Angel/LaGuerta and so on
Just watched all 5 seasons to catch up. For me, 1>2>>4>>>>3>5. I actually liked the second half of S5, but the finale was disappointing and there were too many pointless episodes and plotholes this season imo. The whole quinn situation, with him being absolved just because the blood didn't match, despite all the other suspicions, is just lol.
This.
Just finished up S5 and pretty much agreed with the thread in it being a disappointment. I think 1>2>4>>>>>>>3>>>5 is the clear ranking of seasons. I can see 1,2 and 4 being switched around but 3 and 5 are clearly the worst.
Seems like Miami is getting pretty crowded. Hopefully they're ready to shake things up.
Don't read the spoiler below if you haven't read the third book or the previous cast-related spoilers.
Spoiler:
It says he will play "a brilliant, charismatic professor of religious studies." With Hanks playing "a highly intelligent young expert on ancient artifacts who gets linked to a series of grisly murders in Miami" and Mos Def playing another character involving religion, it seems they are following the third book in S6.
I wasn't a huge fan of the book, so I hope they tweak the story a bit for the TV series. I guess it could be interesting though.
People itt always complained about Dexter not killing enough or going back to his scary serial killer S1 roots but if the writing still sucks then it won't matter.
Local magazine just reviewed S4, they ended the (super positive) review with "This series just gets better and better, we don't even dare to think about what Season 5 will be like."
