1. Season 2- Score: 180.2

At the start of Season 2, the psychological fallout from killing Brian (his brother) and the constant surveillance by Sgt. Doakes have resulted in Dexter having not killed anyone in more than a month. Furthermore, Dexter learns two upsetting things about Harry: that he was sleeping with Laura Moser, Dexter's biological mother, before she died and that, after walking in on Dexter in the middle of a kill, Harry committed suicide from the guilt. These discoveries cause his faith in The Code to waver, and Dexter imagines scenarios in which he turns himself in.

The family has moved to the suburbs, where Dexter struggles to reconcile his new life with his killing urges. Special Agent Frank Lundy returns to hunt down the "Trinity Killer" (John Lithgow) who he believes always murders three people in a very specific sequence: a young woman in a bathtub, an older mother of two falling to her death, and a father of two bludgeoned to death.

6. Season 5- Score: 168.6

As the police arrive at Dexter's house, he is obviously in shock and, either because he feels guilty that his relationship with the Trinity Killer, Arthur Mitchell, caused Rita's death or because he is answering a question ("Sir, did you say that you called this in?") asked by one of the police officers, admits "it was me". Quinn is already suspicious about the circumstances surrounding Rita's death, considering it did not follow Trinity's modus operandi. He is also suspicious of Dexter's unemotional manner after the incident. Astor takes Rita's death particularly hard, and blames Dexter for it. Unable to reconcile, Astor decides that she wants to live with her grandparents in Orlando, Florida, and she and Cody leave Miami.





7. Season 8- Score: 154.91

Six months after killing LaGuerta, a shattered and guilt-ridden Debra has quit her job at Miami Metro and joined a private investigation company. In her absence, Batista has returned from retirement and become Lieutenant. Miami Metro investigates a new serial killer, the "Brain Surgeon", and receives unexpected help from psychopath expert Evelyn Vogel (Charlotte Rampling), who appears to have a special interest in Dexter. Debra works undercover to bring in Andrew Briggs (Rhys Coiro), who has stolen from the mob. Dexter warns Debra that Briggs is being targeted by a mob hitman, but ends up killing Briggs himself. Quinn and Jamie have begun a relationship, which Quinn wants to keep a secret from Batista. Vogel confronts Dexter with murderous drawings from his childhood, and reveals that she knows about Harry's Code. 


 

8. Season 6- Score: 151.5

María LaGuerta (Lauren Vélez) is promoted to Captain after blackmailing Deputy Chief Matthews (Geoff Pierson), whose name was on a prostitute's ledger. Vince Masuka (C.S. Lee) is teaching a group of forensic science students, and after his first choice faints at a crime scene, he asks an attractive female student, Ryan Chambers (Brea Grant), to become his intern, only to have to fire her when she steals old evidence from the department: a painted prosthetic hand from the Ice Truck Killer crime scenes, which shows up on an internet auction site. Masuka quickly hires another intern, video game designer and computer programmer Louis Greene (Josh Cooke), and begs him to fix the problem. Greene claims he made the page the auction was on vanish, but was unable to get the hand back.

In Her Paradise

Image
The universe was created with a thought and the thought came from a feeling, the feeling of love, so they say. A sense of protectiveness and insecurity naturally engulfs you with this powerful word. I too felt strong until I held Jia for the first time, and her soft tiny fingers curled into my palm. Jia was born when I was going through one of the toughest times in academics and there was a fear of losing it all. She was born to my elder sister on 15 th  of December, 2012, just a day after my birthday. She yawned as beautifully as anyone could yawn and stared at everyone with her raised eyebrows, trying to figure the small world around her. She immediately started crying. Months went by and I took care of her in every possible way until the day, when she was about to leave for Hyderabad. I knew I had to make the most of it, I knew I was not going to see much of her for a very long time. I had a whole bunch of things planned for her, after I returned from college. We on

What I disclose here is something that I have hardly shared before. It is about the time when I was 16, which wasn't as sweet to me as it is normally called. I had just separated from the girl I loved and I didn't know how to start preparing for my 10 th grade boards which was due in few months. But this one day out of nowhere my mom called me and said, “See, there’s huge discounts on the package tour to Goa ”. Few days later we had packed off ourselves to leave for the gorgeous destination. While in the train I was still lost in the medley of emotional thoughts about my love. This was probably the first time that I had experienced anything like this. The feeling of staring and feeling the utmost beauty of slipping oneself into the fantasy zone where only we existed was a world I never wanted to come out of. Songs started making more sense than before and the pathetic cries of my friends about their own love life suddenly felt not so pathetic anymore. While still de
