I much prefer the 'confidence' shows of Leverage and Burn Notice when comparing it Hustle, but they all have their appeal. I believe her name is Jaime Murray (I wiki'd it, and was brought to the tennis player; spelling is fixed), and her character was tailor-made to build an antagonist relationship to the atomsphere surrounding Dexter's teetering relationship with Rita and the kids, as well as the latent humanity within himself, and she performed it perfectly, eventually becmong a very dangerous thorn in Dex's side.

one-shot toward SF:
I just somewhat noticed that there is somehow always a 'token female killing' in every season of Dexter, but I'm not deluded enough to think that this is by design. Woman can be as evil and destructive as men, but they're (the writers) are playing with unspoken statistics, and not everyone who is deemed a 'favorable kill' can be male. This should not even be a discussion point.

Either the premise of the series and the character struggles within it's universe appeals to you, or it doesn't; not much more to it. There is no need to describe why you don't partake in its viewership, or offer off-handed and non-topical comments about why a woman is a much more delicate creature than man, therefore should never, ever be disrespected, maimed, or treated harshly in fiction or in reality. They are obviously onn some sort of invisible pedestal, and every single one of us writers and producers and directors should just inherently know this. It's quite a ludicrous notion to opine, I'd assess.
