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
Product Description
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.

Not As Compelling as Season 1, But Well Worth Your Time,
By
This review is from: Dexter: The Second Season (DVD)
*NOTE - THIS REVIEW MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS *Just when all seemed calm for Dexter after the eventual disposal of the Ice Truck Killer in the Season 1 finale, his past crimes come back to haunt him as some scuba divers accidentally stumble upon the underwater graveyard of his victims. Season 2 finds Dexter under scrutiny when the FBI is called in to help Miami Metro deal with the capture of "The Bay Harbor Butcher". What better way to explain his odd behavior to co-workers and to Rita than pretending to be a recovering drug addict. Of course, this predictably puts a strain on his relationship with Rita, especially after she discovers his "sponsor" is the sympathetic, oddly attractive and enigmatic British lass, Lila. Dexter eventually enters into a sexual relationship with Lila, which he soon regrets when she begins displaying psychopathic behavior and a flair for pyrotechnics. We also see Dexter and Doakes playing cat-and-mouse games with each other, with each having the upper hand at various points during the course of the season. Meanwhile, Deb works out her Daddy issues with FBI Special Agent Lundy, all the while unaware that step-brother Dex is the Bay Harbor Butcher everyone is scrambling to locate and apprehend. While Angel and Masuka provide some of the comic relief, Lt. Laguerta continues to be more than just a thorn in Deb's side. We are shocked to learn what lengths she will go to in order to get her job back and are touched by her loyalty to Doakes when he comes under suspicion. Overall, I didn't find Season 2 as riveting as Season 1, but I still enjoyed every minute of it. The acting continues to be superb, though I wish Rita wasn't always coming off as such a wet noodle. Michael C. Hall is amazing to watch, especially during the scenes when he feels as though his world is spiralling out of control. I am eager to see what the producers have in store for Dexter in the third season.

Suspense, nailbitting, better than season 1!!!,
By
This review is from: Dexter: The Second Season (DVD)
This Show is filled with tons of suspense from episode one right until the seaon final, which is quite awesome. I can't wait to purchase this season and have it in my collection. The intriguing story lines and character development is seen throughout the entire season and Dexter seems to change his personality for the better...but remember he still is a serial killer! I highly recommend this series/season to all who like serial killer films.

This was a Christmas gift who is a Dexter fan. I am sure it was worthwhile as she ended up buying other seasons in order to watch.
