Editorial Reviews

Onetime Six Feet Under regular Michael C. Hall stars in this characteristically kinky, cutting-edge crime series from Showtime, based on a character created by novelist Jeff Lindsay. Hall was cast as Dexter Morgan, a likeable, self-effacing Miami police forensic expert specializing in blood-splatter analysis -- who secretly moonlighted as a serial killer. Early on, Dexter's homicidal tendencies were detected by his adoptive police officer father, Harry (James Remar), who encouraged his son to channel his violent impulses in a positive manner, and also pounded a strict moral code into the boy. As an adult, Dexter vowed to "take out the trash" and continue "honing his craft" by murdering other serial killers, and similar miscreants who would have otherwise slipped through the fingers of justice. Remarkably, Dexter managed to emerge a sympathetic figure via inner monologues wherein he explained his motives and modus operandi, all but encouraging the viewer to cheer him on in his bloody crusade against crime. Such was Dexter's harmless-looking veneer that no one suspected him of being a killer: not his adoptive sister, Debra (Jennifer Carpenter), a Miami cop; nor his emotionally scarred girlfriend, Rita (Julie Benz), who'd only recently escaped an abusive relationship with her ex-husband; nor his police superior Lt. LaGuerta (Lauren Velez). Only his colleague Sgt. Doakes (Erik King) had an inkling that there was something...er...strange about the personable Dexter -- an inkling that earned Doakes Dexter's respect. Dexter began its weekly Showtime run on October 1, 2006. Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Great show! But beware the special features...by Anonymous

November 24, 2009: Dexter, obviously, is one of the best shows on TV. And watching the whole season at once on DVD is great. But many of the features advertised on the box are either less rich than implied, or they can't be accessed on your DVD player. And if you use a Mac, you won't be able to access them at all, since the features that require a computer are Windows-only. Very behind the times for a show that appeals to early-adopters. Ponderous.

Dexter is addicting!by JRJMN

November 14, 2009: One of the best shows on TV. As soon as finished season 1, I immediately purchased season 2. Dexter, the character, and the overall show is unlike anything else on TV. Excellent!

I Also Recommend: Torchwood - Season 1, Torchwood: Complete Second Season, Torchwood - Children of Earth, Dexter - Season 2.
