Season 3 opens with Dexter killing a man in self-defense. The dead man's brother is Miguel Prado (Jimmy Smits), a prominent Miami prosecutor, and Dexter soon finds himself in an unlikely friendship with him. Miguel is a powerful figure in the Miami justice system, the very system Dexter works around.
At home, Rita (Julie Benz) learns she is pregnant, giving Dexter a new family responsibility to balance with his secret. Meanwhile, his sister Debra (Jennifer Carpenter) investigates a serial killer known as "The Skinner," hoping the case will earn her a promotion to detective.
Desmond Harrington joins the main cast as Det. Joey Quinn, who moves from narcotics to homicide and becomes Debra's partner. Lauren Vélez, David Zayas and James Remar also return.
The Season 3 premiere drew 1.22 million US viewers, which made it Showtime's highest-rated drama season premiere since Nielsen began compiling those ratings in 2004. The season scored 78 out of 100 on Metacritic based on 13 reviews.
Jimmy Smits and Michael C. Hall both received Emmy nominations for their roles, and the series was nominated for the Emmy for Best Drama. The Dexter Season Three set is a strong pick for fans of Smits and for anyone following the show in order.

Dexter’s Partner
If you are a fan of Dexter like I am then the third season will not disappoint you. I unfortuantly was unable to watch Dexter while it was on Showtime but this actually makes it better for me because I don’t have to wait for the next episodes to air. The third season hits the ground running with Dexter soon to be a father. If that wasn’t enough, the addition of Jimmy Smits to the cast as his new best friend and partner in murder was something I thought would never happen. Dexter breaking his code!!
All in all the season played out very well with Dexter having to match wits with his protege all the while preparing for a child and a wedding that he never Harry never imagined would happen for Dexter. Add in the developing story of Detetive Batista and the wild ride of a life that is his sister’s Deb. This season in my opinion outshines the last two. Michael C. Hall almost makes you believe he is his character, add in the eye candy of Julie Benz and Lauren Velez and you have the makin’s of a great show.
