After 7 seasons so far, of which Dexter has not been very constant in it's quality, this season is off to a good start.
I had very high hopes for this season's premiere, though this episode is not as impressive as season 7's premiere and last 2 episodes - it is definitely a great season starter, considering even the best of Dexter's seasons started weak (with Season 7 as an obvious exception.)
The highlights are once again on Debra, who now tries to run away from what she had done, leaving Miami Metro and letting go of her relationship with her Dexter. Another interesting development begins early this season with Evelyn Vogel's mysterious appearance, and reveal at the end of the episode.
Overally a good episode though Angel Batista's acting was a bit off and the whole time jump and introduction of Evelyn Vogel was done a bit sloppy. The promo at the end sold the next episodes really well though.
8.8/10
