Dexter, Season 5

Like a category five hurricane bearing down on Miami, the powerful season four finale of Showtime’s Emmy®-nominated series Dexter, swept over audiences, leaving them in a state of shock and utter disbelief. The episode shattered network ratings records, becoming the most-watched in Showtime history. For their intense and masterful performances, both Michael C. Hall and John Lithgow received Golden Globes and SAG Awards and most recently were nominated for Emmys. The much anticipated premiere of season five picks up immediately after the brutal death of Dexter Morgan’s (Michael C. Hall) wife Rita (Julie Benz) at the hands of the infamous Trinity Killer (John Lithgow). Racked with guilt and regret, Dexter is forced to come to terms with his own selfish actions that directly lead to the horrific death of his wife and now finds himself at a cross-road. On one hand, he is the widowed father of three young children working his way through the various stages of grief and on the other, a serial killer with an insatiable need to satisfy his true nature and stay loyal to Harry’s Code. As Dexter seeks to reconcile the two, he embarks on a mysterious journey filled with a bizarre set of strange and murderous characters. Will this lead to his redemption or will Dexter finally, fully succumb to his own Dark Passenger?
