Season six of Deter finds many of the characters at various crossroads. LaGuerta is promoted to Captain, Deb is promoted to Lieutenant, which affects her relationship with Quinn, but also makes for an even more tenuous relationship between LaGuerta and Bautista, as Bautista thinks that it is LaGuerta's fault that he was passed over. Dexter meanwhile, befriends a minister named Brother Sam, whom he initially believes to be a new serial killer, and Deb begins to confront her feelings toward Dexter. There is also a bookend to the Trinity storyline that puts a nail in that arc.
For those who get the Blu-Ray set, the series looks and sounds great in HD. The extras, which are only available through BD live (meaning your blu ray player has to be connected to the internet to watch them) include cast interviews, a couple of episodes from the series House of Lies, Californication, and The Borgias. So, very light on Dexter-specific extras which is disappointing.
Overall, the season is good. Better than season five, but not as good as seasons one through three. The season ends on a cliffhanger that definitely changes things for season seven. The writing is definitely not as good under the new showrunners as it was under the direction of Clyde Phillips, but the acting is always great. This season sports a strong supporting and guest cast including Mos Deg, Collin Hanks, Edward James Olmos, and includes Aimee Garcia as a new recurring cast member. I cannot say that people who loved the first 3-4 seasons will definitely like this one, but I think, generally, if you have liked the prior seasons, you will probably like this one. The only real disappointing thing about the Blu-Ray set is the lackluster extras, so if you only get the physical discs when the extras are extensive and good, then you may just want to stream this.
