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

Best Show EVER!!!

If you liked season 1, then you'll LOVE season 2!! The show continues to get better and better, with its superb writing and mindblowing acting. BUY IT! You won't regret it!!!

Dexter: Season 2

I got hooked watching this replacement show on CBS, so I bought season one and instantly got more hooked! I pre-ordered season two and pretty much had it all watched in 4 days. There is great story writing in this show. The acting is great. Some of the twists and turns in the plot gave me goosebumps. It is one of the best shows going and once you start to watch you can't stop and ask for more. I agree with other reviewers, give Michael C. Hall an award already, actually the whole show. Best Drama on TV.

No longer a novelty, but still fascinating

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.

Not for latinos

Dexter - The Complete Second Season
Escribiré mi revisión en español, precisamente por el fondo de mi asunto. No tengo objeciones con el contenido de esta formidable serie, pero sí con la edición que he recibido, que es la que se comercializa en la actualidad. Me parece una desconsideración con el mundo latino que no vive en norteamérica no disponer de subtítulos en español, en especial con el mundo latino sordo. A lo anterior cabe agregar que, para quienes podemos oir, el doblaje al español de este producto es de pésima calidad.

Sadly it's not as compelling as series one.

Dexter series 1 was a roller coaster ride every episode, with a plot that gave you just enough each week to keep you guessing and desperate for the next show.

Season 2 just does not have this feel. You find Dexter becoming quite a bit more human; he's being thrown back and forth through little dramas to keep you interested. It comes off as a season either dedicated to shaping him for something really great, or preparing you for a family drama show to come..

I'll wait and see if I buy the 3rd DVD set, kind of regret buying season 2 already.
