A.V. Club

Nicely dark and gutsy.

Variety

Few series are more adept at consistently keeping their audience off balance as to what happens next.

Slant Magazine

Dexter will continue to hang comfortably in the middle, using a charismatic lead to provoke the sort of "How will he get out of this one?" situations that keep an audience glued to each episode.

Entertainment Weekly

John Lithgow had been such a gas as Arthur Mitchell, that his Emmy-winning performance presented the series with a new challenge: How to top the delirious, full-blast, witty evil that Trinity embodied?

The Guardian

It's good to have Dexter back. It manages to be brutal, tragic, sad, beautiful and funny all at the same time.

IGN

I actually liked Julia Stiles' Lumen... But where Season 5 faltered was in its endgame.

We Got This Covered

An entertaining, if inevitably disappointing follow up to last season.

Collider

I have no idea where the season arc is headed. I haven't really, truly felt either of these things since season two, which belongs in the pantheon of high-tension TV.

Vulture

It would be offensively glib if they didn't treat the aftermath [of season four] seriously. But so far, they've been pulling it off masterfully.
