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

Summary: dexter rocks
Comment: i love dexter mainly because tv shows they play on tv these days are all reality and there really boring. yes, dexter is psychopathic and not for the faint hearted, but for the people saying its digusting and morally wrong and how can a person allow a show like dexter to be on air... its a tv show. it shouldnt have an impact on your life. if you dont like it dont watch it... simple.

Summary: Season Two Delves Deeper Into the Character of Dexter
Comment: I'm not sure which season I enjoyed more- one or two. I'm leaning towards two. Mainly because this season we are all familiar with the characters and their backgrounds. Even better, this season delves deeper into Dexter's background, as well as a few other characters. You'll be on the edge of your seat!
Season 2 brings on the drama, a fast-paced thrill ride that takes you watching late into the night just to watch another episode because you can't wait to see what is going to happen next. The actors in this season only get better, as does the writing. We are given some satisfying conclusions to previous stories or characters. We are left wondering where season 3 is heading. I can't wait!!
Dexter is as entertaining as anything you can come up with. This is TV at it's most original. I recently subscribed to Showtime just to see this show in the fall! Don't miss out!

Summary: Sick program for sick people
Comment: I cannot understand how anyone, other than sickies desiring to watch these revengeful satisfying acts. They are about a man who fulfills the death lust in each person, by inflicting pain on those who are no so innocent. Do I have the right to cause the killer to suffer in the same way that he/she caused suffering to others. Would I feel this same way if it was I who had the child who was brutilly killed by a sex killer? ABSOLUTELY. But, I would hope that I would not be asked such a question while I am crazy with anger and pain. I would hope that descision would be placed into the hands of more sane individuals that right would prevail. To those who feel they need this, in their psycological make up, who recieve release from these sickning acts, which Dexter does. Isn't it somehow wrong to you, to recieve satisfaction, derived from your death lust. For in this way you are becoming like the very people, whom you desire to inflict pain upon, those who inflict pain on others. Just remember, "David does, as David thinks." I do hope you will get help from a professional, clergy, psychologist or whom ever.

Summary: Long live Dexter!
Comment: Season two of this Showtime piece of excellence is just as good as the first season, if not better. If you haven't already met Dexter Morgan (played by Michael C. Hall), he's a Miami police forensic expert - he specialises in blood spatter - with a taste for murder all of his own. By twist of tale, Dexter's past comes back to haunt him this season and Dexter the hunter becomes Dexter the hunted. This takes the excitement and suspense up to new heights.
Dexter is still coming to terms with the season one's shock ending and initially finds (to his horror) that his killing skills are not what they used to be. And as if he didn't have enough worries, Sergeant Doakes (played by the lovely Erik King), the only one around who senses that Dexter is not all that he seems, is still very much on his case. Add to that the fact that his sister Debra (played by Jennifer Carpenter), who is still recovering from her own trauma from season one, is asked to join the FBI manhunt for him. The team is being led by Special Agent Lundy (played by Keith Carradine) and this is a development, Dexter remarks sardonically, that "makes for an awkward family dynamic".
Also very interesting to see this season, is the relationship between just-demoted Lt. Maria Laguerta (played by the brilliant Lauren Velez) and the new Lieutenant parachuted in over her head to take over her shift command, Lt. Esme Pasquale (played by Judith Scott). The cracks in Dexter's seemingly perfect relationship with girlfriend Rita (played by Julie Benz) that began to appear in season one, also begin to get wider this season so look out for Jaime Murray, fresh off her stint on BBC's drama "Hustle", playing the sexy, free-spirited Lila.
There's much more but I don't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it. Twists and turns abound and each episode seems to bring a new shock for the viewer to take in. The humour is dark but it is hysterically funny - a shock in itself, considering the over-arching subject matter. Unless you're someone who gets squeamish easily (most of the violence is implied rather than shown but there's still violence and there's still plenty of blood) this is a definite must-see. I never thought the day would come when I would be rooting for a serial killer - even a fictional one - but here we are. That I'm doing so is more down to the excellent writing and Hall's easy charm, than to anything else. I'm as happy as Larry to know that there's already a season three on its way and I hope they take this series as far as is logically possible.
I say long live Dexter!
