Product Description
DEXTER is a crime drama about Dexter Morgan a man who leads a double life as an incredibly likeable forensics expert for the Miami Police Department and as an emotionless vigilante serial killer. Taught by his foster father to harness his lust for blood and killing Dexter lives by his own strict moral code - he only kills murderers who can't otherwise be brought to justice. Dexter is a killer who grapples with fitting into society while at the same time he struggles with his inability to feel emotion. The irony of Dexter's life is that he works closely as a blood splatter analyst with the very people who hunt his kind - the homicide department. Dexter's "Regular Joe" front is in full force while working alongside the ill-tempered Sgt. James Doakes who seems to be the only one to sense Dexter's more sinister side and Lt. Maria LaGuerta the head of the division who pursues Dexter sexually with as much force as she would any criminal. While his sister Debra Morgan a tough and determined cop leans on Dexter for personal advice and career advancement the closest one Dexter "connects" with is Det. Angel Batista whose similar attention to detail and taste for forensics almost mirrors his own. While sentiment and feelings elude Dexter he struggles to find a kindred spirit of sorts in his emotionally damaged girlfriend Rita who keeps him grounded in the realities of "normal" life and provides him respite from the dark corners of his mind. The series is based on the acclaimed novel "Darkly Dreaming Dexter" by Jeff Lindsay.System Requirements:Running Time: 636 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS Rating: NR UPC: 097368925144 Manufacturer No: 892514

Dark and sinister is the new sexy, thanks to Dexter, which in its second season has proven to be the most successful series Showtime has offered up yet. Remember how much you squirmed in your seat during the season one finale? Believe it or not, the premiere of season two felt like it could have been a season finale--because jaws were on the floor when the credits rolled. For being a supposed sociopath, Dex is pretty broken up about the gruesome events that concluded last season. The one and only person who could possibly understand him is six feet under, and it seems our unlikely hero is losing his homicidal grip. He's even having a little trouble slicing up a few of his latest victims (from a murderous gang member to a chainsaw-wielding fiend from his past). Enter Lila (Jaime Murray, Hustle), a lady with a sweet British accent and a few dark secrets of her own. She seems to accept Dex for who he really is, and he finds himself feeling relaxed for the first time in his life. In contrast, his relationship with his girlfriend Rita (Julie Benz) has been stretched almost to a breaking point. The problem is, he should be anything but relaxed. Someone picked a poor place to go scuba diving off the Florida coast, and came across an underwater graveyard: Dex's primo spot for dropping dismembered bodies wrapped in heavy-duty trash bags. Word about the "Bay Harbor Butcher" gets out quick, and the F.B.I. sends the best of the best, Special Agent Frank Lundy (Keith Carradine, Deadwood) to work alongside the police to sniff out Miami's latest serial killer. This guy is no schlub, and Dex may have met his match. And, yes, Dexter gets to work with Lundy on a daily basis, which provides some wonderfully awkward moments. It certainly doesn't help that the intuitively paranoid Sergeant Doakes (Erik King, Oz) is hot on Dex's trail. Season two of Dexter is all about decisions. Lila or Rita? Old code or new code? Run or fight? Right or wrong? Well, one thing's for sure: When it comes to writing, casting, acting, and production, the makers of this show made all the right decisions. Michael C. Hall is simply superb as the title character. You'll never find yourself more willing to genuinely root for a serial killer. It's bloody liberating. --Jordan Thompson

 No longer a novelty, but still fascinating August 26, 2008
Spoiler alert!
The second season pulls away from the planned executions that Dexter carried out in the first season, and now that we've already seen a dozen or so episodes, it's not quite so novel anymore. However, there is a new antagonist, in the form of a very annoying British woman who calls herself Lila; Dexter meets her while faking a drug addiction in a 12 step program. Also, we lose a major character and source of conflict, and others end up taking credit and getting promotions because they think he was the killer they had sought (you'll see what I mean when you watch). Deb continues to be unlucky in love, Angel and Mazuka are...well, Angel and Mazuka, and LaGuerta shows more depth this time around. Keith Carradine makes a nice appearance as a lead investigator.
Dexter himself discovers more about Harry as well as his mother, and tries to rid the world of yet another demon. He also goes through some growing pains in his relationship with Rita and the kids.
Often, I find myself rooting for Dexter and hoping he won't get caught.
Is that wrong? Is he good or evil? That's the question he leaves us with.
 WOOT more Dexter August 25, 2008
I can not begin to say how much I enjoy this show. The actors are great and the writers have done an amazing job turning the books into the show. Each episode is better then the next with just enough tease to make you put in the next disc, YOUR GUYS OWE MY SOME SLEEP. This show has almost made me get Showtime, but I prefer to wait and get the box sets every year. Who knows one more show like this and I might fall and get it added to my cable.
 pretty good August 25, 2008
i dig the show Dexter,but season 2 seems to be missing something and it feels more polished and more is forced on. season one was off the hook to me.i still think this is one of the few shows on any network that i can watch and dig something about it, but this season seems a bit off and the writing seems to be forced to appeal or something. still a compelling drama with twists and turns.
Psychologically speaking... August 24, 2008
The first season seemed more accurate when it came to him possibly having Anti-Social Personality Disorder. I have a feeling the producers felt a need to make him 'more human' in regards to his relationships, but it felt unrealistic. Other than that, it was entertaining, and dramatic as usual.
I did find myself missing the way the first season was laid out, the redundancy, the flow.
So Good my sister stays up late to watch it!!! August 23, 2008
When I was a kid my sister who is 9 years older than me would go to the drive in movie when her husband was in Viet Nam. We would dring a 6-Pack of Colt 45 and watch dracula movies or whatever they had to scare us. I knew she would love Dexter if I could get her to slow down long enough to watch. After her divorce in 86 she has worked non stop getting ready for retirement. Well after coming to my house to watch it everynight (she just lives 2 doors away) I convinced her she could afford ShowTime and watch some of the other dynamite shows like Californication, WEEDS,etc. It's just a great darn show. I really think they should let me do a cameo on the show!! Enjoy.
