      DA Miguel Prado is introduced as an old friend of La Guerta in the Cuban community, politically ambitious and seeking media attention to promote himself through his "tough-on-crime" stance. Yet he was never even mentioned once during the high profile Ice Truck Killer and Bay Harbor Butcher investigations.

    9/10
    The Start of a Promising Season!
    This is the first episode of the third season of Dexter and it looks like we are in store for yet another promising season of the man who is a blood spatter analyst by day and a serial killer by night. As it seems right now, this season may not focus on a particular killer like the previous two seasons, so this may be a good chance of pace. Plus life is good for Dexter. While Dexter broods during the first two seasons, he seems more happy this season, if the first episode is any indication.

    This episode, "Our Father," brings us the return of Dexter Morgan a couple months after the events of season two. Dexter has a happy life as his relationship with Rita is going very well and her kids look up to him as their father. Dexter is also disposing of people using his father's code of conduct. But one day, he happens to kill a innocent person, who happens to be the son of a well-connected District Attorney. Debra is assigned to the case by the now Sergeant Batista. But as we all know, Debra mouth does tend to find her some trouble...

    Overall, this is a really good episode and the quality picks up right where we left it from last season. It seems that we are in for quite an interesting ride. And the cliffhanger that is presented at the final scene? Well I love it and we are in for a treat. I rate this episode 9/10.
