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

Darkly Dreaming DexterDexter in the Dark (Vintage Crime/Black Lizard)Dearly Devoted Dexter
I was a fan of Dexter before I realized that Showtime (I was not a subscriber at that time) had begun a series based on my favorite serial killer. I quickly became a Showtime subscriber and ordered the entire first season from Amazon. I was enchanted by the TV series and remain so to this day. For once I can say that, for the most part, I like the TV series better than the books;so do other Dexter-lovers ... Read More
Rating: - A Superb Second Round to Follow A Fabulous First Season
You probably wouldn't be reading this if you hadn't already seen the first season of DEXTER, the one that introduces us to this unique serial killer and blood splatter forensics expert, the destroyer of destroyers, and a guy trying to figure out how to live with his dark passenger--his terrible sociopathic need to kill.
While the first season focused on the search for and relationship of Dexter to the Ice Truck Killer, the second season takes us into Dexter's crisis of identity, and the ... Read More
Rating: - love, love, love dexter!!!!!!

Rating: - Hooked on Showtime
Love Dexter and Season 2 did not dissappoint.Only issue I found was info on box said that Disc 3 had a couple full episodes of other Showtime series but really only contained two episodes of one series (Brotherhood?).Not a big deal but was looking forward to seeing a preview of Dexter Season 3 and other items that were not there.
Rating: - Season 2 is AMAZING!
If you liked Dexter: Season 1, you will love the second season.More killing of killers and bad people is what Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall) is all about. All the while, he has to live a "normal" life with his girlfriend, Rita (Julie Benz). But the introduction of a new seductress by the name of Lila (Jaime Murray) and the ever-present Sargeant Doakes (Erik King) will keep Dexter on his toes from the very first episode of the season. Debra (Jennifer Carpenter), Dexter's sarcastic, swearing, fellow ... Read More
