I like it when Dexter talks to himself and plans his next victim. I wish they would cover that a little more and let us know a little more about his victims. I think they have his sister sleeping around way to much. I would like to hear from the writers at the end of the disc.

Even more intelligent writing than season 1. I don't know if they're gonna be able to beat this season. Like usual, there's a ton of different emotions: laughter, fear, suspense, love etc. It's great.
What's great about it: Sneaky, intelligent writing.

well I am sure that all will agree that Micheal C. Hall portrays a great Dexter and I am so glad that this "book" series turned into a drama. A very great drama to say the least.
as for the comment above, they have a third book and its awesome.

The season is awesome! i saw the whole season in one day, because i couldn't stop watching it! Its so good, the suspense its unbelievable, it keeps you wanting more and more. The only thing i didn't like was the side stories, they were a little weak, but would not give it much importance. Can't wait for Season 3!!
What's great about it: Suspenseful! it keeps you wanting more & more
What's not so great: Outside dexter's plot, some side stories are a little weak

Without giving away too much plot, season two is not quite as believable as season one, but this is a minor quibble. These episodes will keep reeling you in until the very last. This is great writing, and the proof of this is the way you begin to care about these characters, even our grim yet endearing protagonist, Dexter. Jeff Lindsay invented a character that is destined to be a classic in pop literature. Dexter is a new kind of antihero, and if you're skeptical just read the first book, DARKLY DREAMING DEXTER (the audio book is great, too). You'll shake your head in amazement that Mr. Lindsay came up with this guy!
SPOILER ALERT:
There is some great character development in season two, especially with Dexter's sister Deborah. Every time I see an episode, I just want to give her a big hug and tell her everything is going to be all right (even though I know it's not). Jennifer Carpenter plays this character perfectly. She's a beautiful mixture of independence and need, and her romance with Detective Lundy (Ketih Carradine) is pure sparkling chemistry. Sgt. Doakes continues to hound Dexter to the point of obsession, and Laguerta ups the ante in her games of manipulation. Doakes's story arc is a heartbreaker. There are a couple of plot holes involving Dexter's Dad, but nothing I couldn't overlook. If you have a strong stomach and a love for a great story, don't hestitate to read and watch Dexter.
Read my review for season one of Dexter to get my opinion on the gratuitous nudity and language (i.e. there's a lot of it).
What's great about it: Alternatingly hilarious and horrific scenes

Dexter Season 2 continues along with pretty much everything that made the first season great, although of course there are some new plot twists. This plot summary is incomprehensible if you haven't seen the first season, just to warn you. The Ice Truck Killer is gone, and now Dexter looks ahead to getting his life together and moving onward. However, the bagged bodies of his victims are uncovered at the bottom of the bay he uses as a dumping site. Also, dexter is dealing with Sergeant Doakes, who now follows him everywhere he goes, making it impossible for Dexter to fulfill his murderous duties. As Dexter seeks to divert the police away from finding out about his other life, the final straw comes as Rita comes to the (incorrect) conclusion that Dexter is a heroin addict and forces him to join a recovery program, where he meets Lila, a strange, free-willed woman who leads Dexter into dark territory. There a lot to keep you interested this season, and if you liked the first season, you definitely shouldn't skip out on this one.
What's great about it: THe story is again very interesting, and the acting remains top-notch
What's not so great: Fans of the novel will find little in common with the source material this season
