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.

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.

Loved the first season to death and the second season is just as good.
Dexter fans won't be let down!!!

Best show on television. If he needs more ideas for season three, have him go after corrupt politicions wouldn't that be fun??????????????

Bonjours ,
Puis-je ajouter un nouvel article a cette commande qui n'a pas été encore livrée ? Ou il est trop tard ?

Season 1 was shown on CTV during the writers strike and I absolutely loved it. Unfortunately season two and beyond were never on network tv. They cut a lot of the shows because of language and length so am very pleased to own my own copy of season 1. Have watched this and enjoyed every minute....a great show that the networks shouldn't show. I bought season 2 as well but am saving that for summer when tv goes to sleep.
