Dexter | featured news

You don't have to be an avid fan to acknowledge that 2012 offered some great TV. Putting aside the national reality show that was the presidential election, there was escalating excellence on "Sons of Anarchy," "The Walking Dead" and "Parks and Recreation." There was the birth of "Girls," "House of Lies," "Veep" and "Luck" (RIP) and the redemption of "Dexter." For every hour of uncomfortably bad scripted or unscripted programming, there was something thought-provoking or, at the very least, entertaining.

On Tuesday, it was announced that Colin Hanks would take a trip to Miami and enter the always dangerous orbit of blood splatter expert/serial killer/good guy Dexter Morgan. Now, his role on the Showtime hit has been revealed.

Wow. Just...wow. Anyone else feel as if your stomach catapulted out of your mouth while watching tonight's fourth season finale of Showtime's Dexter? It was...horrifying. To say the least.
