Dexter: The Second Season [4 Discs]
Dexter: The Second Season [4 Discs]
Everyone's favorite vigilante serial killer returns with a vengeance in season two of the hit Showtime series Dexter. In this season, Dexter (Michael C. Hall) begins to experience the sting of self-doubt while contending with a particularly dark chapter from his distant past. Meanwhile, the FBI launches an investigation into a series of murders committed by the "Bay Harbor Butcher", causing Dexter to take serious pause in order to protect his dark secret.

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
What's not so great: Not as strong as season one
I would recommend this to a friend!

This set serves up every episode from the debut season of the Showtime series Dexter, which starred Michael C. Hall as a serial killer who attempts to stay out of jail by only hunting and killing other murderers.

Dear Dark Dexter

You can read the 2nd and 3rd Dexter books by Jeff Lindsay while you watch Dexter on DVD, but decide for yourself which order you want to see the first season or read the first book. They are both strong offerings, but I have to say I enjoyed the series better than the book. It's a hard call, because the book is hilariously written, but the season deviates from the book's plot a bit, especially toward the end. Dexter is one of the most innovative ideas for a character I've read/seen in a long time. Highly recommended, but be aware that there is a lot of bad language, graphic violence and people without clothes on in the show, most of it unnecessary. I have always contended that what you don't see is much more powerful than what you do see, and here is no exception. Sometimes I get the impression that a bunch of junior high boys are behind the camera eating doritos and giggling like they're checking out lewd websites together. I don't have to see a naked woman to know she's naked, and I don't have to hear profanity every other sentence to be aware that the themes are gritty.
What's great about it: Completely new idea
What's not so great: Too much nudity and profanity
I would recommend this to a friend!
