Dexter makes a killer comeback

DEXTER Morgan is back – and he’s left his secret life as a serialkilling vigilante behind him.

Or so he thought.

On Dexter: New Blood, the former police forensic technician has moved to sleepy, snowbound Iron Lake in New York state, where he’s calling himself Jim Lindsay.

Nice guy Jim works at the local hunting goods store. He’s everybody’s pal – he even goes line-dancing. But early on, his pick-up truck is pulled over by local chief of police, Angela.

Gulp. Does she know? Does she suspect? Nope. She’s his girlfriend and this is their sex game.

Talk about banged to rights! Within moments he’s giving new meaning to taking the law into your own hands… until their roadside passion is ruined by a call from police HQ.

A clear case of coppers interruptus. But expecting Dexter not to butcher bad guys is like going to Sweeney Todd and hoping he’ll stick to a short, back and sides. Dex keeps his murderous alter-ego – his “dark passenger” – locked away in his head right up until he meets Matthew Caldwell, the most obnoxious arse this side of the Elysée Palace.

Wall Street hotshot Matt isn’t just pushy and entitled, he’d also killed five people in a game of chicken.

When he shoots a majestic white stag, nearly clipping our anti-hero in the process, the real Dexter re-emerges. Result? Matt – splat!

Dex doesn’t take a souvenir blood slide though. “I may be a monster, but I’m an evolving monster,” he says.

He’s got sloppy, however, leaving blood in the snow – and he’s haunted by his dead sister Debra.

An intruder in his home turns out to be his teenage son Harrison. And after denying it, Dexter takes him in.

New enemies include a local serial killer and probably a billionaire oil tycoon.

It’ll get messy.
