Yes, the Harry bits were handled more deftly, but the Dexter voice-overs still sounded like the rantings of Captain Obvious. Also, all the bits that weren't centered on Deb or Dexter still were still the closest thing to torture that Showtime has to offer.

I remember the golden days when Dexter episodes made me hold my breath in suspense, rather than hold my breath in stifled laughter.
