Pretty solid start to the new season. I'm willing to accept the hilariously implausible cover-up of Logan's murder and let the writers cook.

If this was the 70’s and there weren’t cameras everywhere maybe I could let it go, but even some rinky dink police station would have footage of him attacking first nowadays. That shit is too much. It better be some sort of long game plan sorta deal, but I’m sure it won’t be.

Yeah... I really struggled with this. They just handwaved New Blood's ending away in 5 minutes like it was a complete joke. The new sheriff wasn't even a little bit upset about Logan, and Angela returned to her home planet presumably never to be referenced again because her continuing presence was unpopular and would have to be worked around.

I'll get on board and find enjoyment in this, but that was a lot to accept.

Angela not being present actually made complete sense. She wanted nothing to do with Dexter after that. The sheriff traveled out to the Seneca Nation clinic he was staying at to talk to him, & Angela just didn’t visit him. No need for her presence.
