After watching the premiere of Dexter, titled "Are You...?", I was astonished to see the amount of detail and florid writing the episode presented. After watching the mediocre Season 6 I was able to reconcile my faith with Dexter once again as this episode was near perfection. Written by show-runner Scott Buck and Directed by John Dahl they create a near-masterpiece of perfection. The episode begins very differently to what I had imagined (But in a good way).
It was very exhilarating and exciting at the same time, it felt as if I was watching one of the final episodes of Season 4. The scenes and dialogue were put together very well and the cinematography was so much better than in Season 5/6. The only bad points of this episode were that Dexter seemed a little sloppy when at the Airport.
Now I understand that due to time restraints the writers wanted to cram as much as they could into an episode at 50-55mins, but I would have liked to see Dexter give a little more attention to security camera's, Airport officials e.t.c. But apart from that it is a huge improvement in Writing, Directing and Cinematography over last Season, and I am very proud to say the Dexter is back and it's never been better.
