The show has taken a hit ever since they switched show runners. They have no idea what to do with the side characters anymore so they stick them into these froced subplots that don't go anywhere while turning them into these one dimensional ethnic drones. At least in previous seasons all of that peripheral stuff worked to develop Dexter's character and put context to the main plot. They've gotten sloppy with details to make everything else fit.
I feel a little bad about complaining because I still watch it every week and it does become increasingly difficult for a show to maintain its edge after being on the air for a few years. It's still enjoyable, but that sense of "tension" in storyline progression isn't as strong as it was in previous seasons. Maybe the end of this season will prove me wrong. I will only talk about the plot for now on, I promise.
