Your funding terrorism by watching free TV shows. Shame on you *shame finger* shame.

But it's Showtime that uploaded it to their site.
Just watched - piracy debate aside, my view as an amateur TV critic is that critics will eventually get the episode early, and so in order to best review it/cover it I can do the same, so long as I don't spoil it and the like. Entirely ethical? Of course not, but I certainly don't feel I'm abusing the series by any means.
I liked it, mostly - a lot of cool stylistic touches, an interesting season setup, all good things.
Less good? The stuff beyond Dexter, as per usual - I remain fascinated that the show believes some of it is actually interesting, to be honest.
As for the ending, which was debated earlier,
I'll be curious to see how it's all clarified in time.

I think that there's really two schools of thought on this. One is that Dexter had the body in the trunk, and that because of this he would be putting himself in danger of getting caught with the body parts - that's the cliffhanger, in other words. However, at the same time, is Dexter being in a serious car accident not cliffhanger enough? And would he really go to a Pharmacy with a body in the trunk? And risk going home with the body in the trunk (since the medication was sitting right there)? I know he was rushing but part of that doesn't make sense to me.
I'll be curious to see how it's all clarified in time.

It was ok, not as good as the others. Ending was a bit of a let down.

Yes. The tension is great at the end when the relationship falls apart.
I am watching S3 right now, and I have to say; I find it a lot weaker than the other 2. Although Lila was incredibly annoying in S2 ("Dextaaaaaaa" fuck off you skinny witch), it still had great atmosphere and tension with Doakes and Lundy vs. Dexter. S3 just has new annoying characters (the Prado's, Quinn and Amado) and very little tension to speak off. That being said, i'm only half in (ep 5), so does it get any better?

My God what a great first episode, it really feels like things are about to change!

Watching the first episode right now, the intro always makes me excited. 
Totally agree. I actually disliked season 3, boring and had no real tension. Missed someone like Doakes a lot.

They've set up the Dexter vs The Dark Passenger really well, adding the pressures of an adopted family and new baby (I thought the distorted entrance scene was excellent). Looking forward to Dexter vs Trinity Killer (potentially vs Lundy), considering Lithgow guest starring and the Miguel story line being the highlight of last season.
Honestly don't give a shit about the love triangle and inter-work relationships, they've always been second rate.

While I missed Doakes a ton, I thought Miguel Prado was a fucking outstanding character and really enjoyed watching the evolution of his and Dexter's friendship. I loved season 3 more than season 1 but less than 2.Milk Lizard said:Watching the first episode right now, the intro always makes me excited.

I watched the episode last night, and I didn't think it was very good to be honest. I'm not a believer in John Lithgow's character at this point. And the way Lundy discovered there even was a Trinity Killer was ridiculous. He was like there's no proof and everyone thinks I'm crazy, but I think there is this guy that kills in threes. And then Dexter was like TOTALLY! ....Give me a break!
And I saw way too much of Lithgow's ass.

Well, I think DexterLM4sure said:
was convinced there was something going on when they found out that an identical homicide had been committed at that house in 1979.
This show, like any, requires a certain amount of disbelief. I mean how is it that Miami conveniently gets a new serial killer every year?

Fuck I wish I didn't watch the episode. How am I going to wait for episode 2 now? What a fucking ending.
Jesus.
Jesus.
After waiting for so long, its great to see this show again, one of my favorites. Pretty much all the main characters are likable.
Dexter - Funny to see him try to manage a family and his life at the same time.
Rita - Always good to see that hot face.
Aster - Looking better than ever.
Cody - Always fun to watch.
Misuke - Always funny.
Deb - Please get back with Lundy.

I hate people hating on S3 
S1 >>>> S3 > S2
Solid premiere. I like the surprisingly simple setup for the season - can Dexter pull off everything (father/brother/husband/career/dark passenger) at once? There was lots of the trademark Dexter humor to be found. Singing "America The Beautiful" to his kid over the phone while simultaneously looking at photos of corpses was wickedly amusing.
The only thing I didnt jive with was Quinn. It seems like they are trying to mold him into Doakes 2.0, and we dont need that.

Remains to be seen about Quinn, but yeah, I don't want him to now become the guy at the office who becomes suspicious of Dexter's behavior. I think it'd be okay if he's the new guy who's just an asshole to Dexter all the time, though Doakes is irreplaceable.
They really need to make the next person who becomes suspicious of Dexter his sister, which I assume they're leading up to, since it's too potentially juicy to leave alone (even if it is fairly predictable). Probably saving it for the final couple seasons (if this isn't one).

I think Deb will at least find out this season that the Ice Truck Killer was his brother seeing as she's looking up all of Harry's CIs

I gotta agree with a couple of people here that season 2 was the best out of the bunch so far. Season 1 served as the foundations and we sorta saw all that crumble around Dexter in season 2. Of all the compelling shows i've watched (Wire, Sopranos, Battlestar) Dexter is probably the most fun and definitely the funniest. The chemistry and writing between Dex and Doakes was amazing:
