Showtime Sunday Nights Return with 'Shameless,' 'House of Lies,' 'Californication'
Showtime is the channel to be watching on Sunday nights. After the nail-biting returns of Dexter and Homeland, the premium cabler is now bringing the laughs with new seasons of Shameless, House of Lies, and Californication, starting tonight.
All three shows have some element of people behaving badly, whether it's Frank Gallagher's lack of parenting or Hank Moody's ever-growing list of flings. That concept works better for some shows than it does others. Season six of Californication is the same debauchery with a different theme. After trying the film world in season four, this time around ...

Dexter Puts A Wrap On Season Seven
In an episode titled "Surprise Motherf*cker," there were, well, some surprises!
Looks like Hannah poisoned Debra after all. Based on last episodes evidence, I wasn't so sure. If you remember how last week ended, then it might be a bit of a surprise to find out Dexter is visiting Hannah in jail. I always thought sending Hannah to jail was the wrong thing to do. She knows way too much about Dexter to not use that to get herself out of jail.
Debra—perhaps this is why she's the Police Lieutenant—asks Dexter about his exact possibility. He says Hannah won't do that to him for the most obvious ...

Do You See What 'Dexter' Sees?
Do You See What 'Dexter' Sees?
Lemme just get this out of the way: This episode ended before it even got started. I was totally sucked into the story and what felt like about 20 minutes passed and then the end credits were rolling. Honestly, I hate when that happens. It leaves me hanging for longer than usual for the following week's episode.
Right out of the gate, the heat is on high and it's right beneath Dexter. Of course it's coming from retired police detective Tom Matthews and Captain LaGuerta. Matthews was asking him some very specific questions, which Dexter immediately recognized as a form of interrogation. T...

'Dexter' Gets All Dark And Whatever
The "phantom" arsonist strikes again, killing three to start the episode, which means last week's random arsons weren't just story fodder. The casting department did a great job when they found actor Brett Rickaby as Fire Inspector Phil Bosso. He's creepy, he gets every arson investigation correct, and he's Dexter's prime suspect as the killer arsonist. A little cliché? Perhaps.
And, just in case the Hannah-Dexter story wasn't complicated enough, Hannah's dad Clint (Jim Beaver) shows up just after the opening credits, fresh out of prison. Dexter has his suspicions about the old boy, and he...

Dexter And Isaak See Eye To Eye
After such a strong episode last week and highly anticipating this week's installment, I may have unintentionally set myself up for a letdown. It's not that it was a bad episode, it just took a long time to come together, and much of what occurred between Dexter and Debra felt forced and unnatural.
In last week's episode, Debra told Dexter she was in love with him and felt like she pretty much has been her entire life. It was an awkward moment for both of them, and I'm sure at least a handful of viewers. Dexter tried to have a logical, Dexter-style conversation with her about it, but it ju...

'Homeland' Review: 'Two Hats' (Season 2, Episode 9)
Forget everything I said last week about Homeland. I was wrong and I take it back. Actually, I still stand by what I said, but this week the writers have redeemed themselves with “Two Hats.” I honestly have no idea where the showrunners plan to take the rest of the season, but with only three episodes left, they have certainly set it up to be quite explosive (pun intended).
So, we left off after last week’s frustratingly unrealistic episode with Carrie watching as Roya essentially kidnaps Brody and takes him away in a helicopter. As this week’s episode opens, we catch up with Carrie, Pete...

'Dexter' Goes To Argentina
The eighth episode of the season starts off with more steamy Dexter-Hannah action. I really love how this storyline has become prominent in the series. The tête-à-tête between the two, however, is about to come to a head, primarily because Debra wants her out of the way, Dexter style.
In the other primary storyline, Isaak is now out of jail, which is great for the series, and is now gunning, literally, for Dexter. He was able to shake his police escort in a way I truly dislike. The old "let's use a lookalike as a decoy" move is a little overused, and honestly cops aren't that dumb.

'Dexter' Finds Some Chemistry
Not missing a single beat, the latest episode of "Dexter" opens with Dexter and Hannah catching their breath after knocking boots on the would-be concrete altar he'd setup to kill her. I like the linear consistency of continuation episodes.
I have mentioned earlier I wasn't sure where this storyline was headed, but somehow knew Hannah was bad news. Well, it now appears the two of them together, Hannah and Dexter, might be a formidable crime duo.
Debra, simultaneously, is on a date with true-crime author Sal Price (Santiago Cabrera). Their conversation, of course, is about Hannah, Wayne ...
