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

 Dexter, an excellent series March 21, 2010
Keith in NC
We purchased this series to view it at our mountain retreat where we have no cable tv. The series is well written with great characters and multiple plot lines involving all of the characters.l
 Almost as good as first season March 3, 2010
J. S. Gilman (Vermont)
I thought it slowed down a little from the first season, but it was still good. I never stopped watching a half episode or a whole episode each night.
What is up with morons giving it one star because they did not receive their product or the dvd they got from their supplier was in poor condition. That has nothing to do with how good the series is. Seriously, that is an huge display of lack of intelligence to rate something poorly on a review like this because you received it late. What does that have to do with Dexter the series? Go leave bad feedback regarding the seller, not rate a good series poorly. I wonder sometimes.
 Dexter Season 2 March 2, 2010
T&L
I bought Dexter Season 2 in noted "NEW" condition. We received the package in a few days in the plastic wrap as it would be at the store. When watching a few of the discs it would pause and say "skipping over damaged area". After the message it would continue in with where it left off. I haven't finished all of the discs to see if there are any more problems. We did get this for a good price. Thanks.
Great series! February 27, 2010
S. Wilkins (Houston, Texas United States)
We don't get Showtime, in our cable package, and this is unfortunate. What's so great is that we can purchase selected programs anyhow, and this is definitely one that you won't want to miss! Don't just buy this one, though, start at the first season, and go from there.
We didn't know about this series until one of my sons was talking about it, and just went on and on. Then, Christmas came, and he gave us Season One as one of his presents to us. Well, we sat down and started watching it, and watched the whole season in one weekend! We were hooked! It was that good, and it kept us on the edge of our chairs! The writing is absolutely gripping, and the suspense, at times, is gripping. Michael C. Hall is perfectly cast as a conflicted serial killer who works for..... the Police Department?
I immediately went online and ordered Season Two, and Season Three. We have now watched them all, and are waiting, and waiting, and waiting, for Season Four. I think that comes out in May 2010, and the wait is interminable. There was one thing, though. I kind of started worrying that I was rooting for a serial killer, but my wife reminded me that he was a "good serial killer." He only kills really bad people. That helped me a little, I think.
In short, buy it! You won't be sorry!
Dexter Season 2 February 18, 2010
dribblejim (Phoenix, Az)
I saw Season 1 when ABC had it as a summer fill in and got hooked. I don't have Showtime, so had to go this route to see what happens next. Also got Season 3 and can't wait till Season 4 comes out.
