Comment: Darkly Dreaming DexterDexter in the Dark (Vintage Crime/Black Lizard)Dearly Devoted Dexter
I was a fan of Dexter before I realized that Showtime (I was not a subscriber at that time) had begun a series based on my favorite serial killer. I quickly became a Showtime subscriber and ordered the entire first season from Amazon. I was enchanted by the TV series and remain so to this day. For once I can say that, for the most part, I like the TV series better than the books;so do other Dexter-lovers that I know. I like second-season Dexter because he has begun to grow as a real person, because he is not infallible and because his sister has grown as a person and has to rescue him. The TV series has created a great set of supporting roles, such as LaGuerta, Harry, Matsuko,Debra,Doakes, Rita, Aster, Cody, etc. to name just a few, I have started the 3rd season and it is looking good. Go DEXTER!!!

Summary: A Superb Second Round to Follow A Fabulous First Season
Comment: You probably wouldn't be reading this if you hadn't already seen the first season of DEXTER, the one that introduces us to this unique serial killer and blood splatter forensics expert, the destroyer of destroyers, and a guy trying to figure out how to live with his dark passenger--his terrible sociopathic need to kill.
While the first season focused on the search for and relationship of Dexter to the Ice Truck Killer, the second season takes us into Dexter's crisis of identity, and the noose narrowing about his neck as his cache of victims (underwater in the Atlantic) is retrieved and analyzed and start pointing uncomfortably close. His antagonist, Sgt Doakes, gets off, then back on Dexter's case. It will begin a showdown of significance. We learn more about some of the characters, including Dexter's foster dad, and his sister Deb gets to have (another) romance. Not a serial killer this time.
Dexter also develops a new relationship with a woman who has an affinity for things dark and dangerous. Is she his soulmate? The consequences of this relationship ripple into the lives of Dexter's loved ones, including Rita and her kids.
Keith Carradine comes into the cast as an FBI expert on serial killers, one with a bit of a zen vibe. He's excellent in his (temporary?) role.
Wonderful plotting, terrific acting, excellent dialogue, and well-rounded characterization make for a quality series that doesn't droop or disappoint in its second season.
Now, I gotta see Season Three. Whoo!

Summary: Hooked on Showtime
Comment: Love Dexter and Season 2 did not dissappoint. Only issue I found was info on box said that Disc 3 had a couple full episodes of other Showtime series but really only contained two episodes of one series (Brotherhood?). Not a big deal but was looking forward to seeing a preview of Dexter Season 3 and other items that were not there.

Summary: Season 2 is AMAZING!
Comment: If you liked Dexter: Season 1, you will love the second season. More killing of killers and bad people is what Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall) is all about. All the while, he has to live a "normal" life with his girlfriend, Rita (Julie Benz). But the introduction of a new seductress by the name of Lila (Jaime Murray) and the ever-present Sargeant Doakes (Erik King) will keep Dexter on his toes from the very first episode of the season. Debra (Jennifer Carpenter), Dexter's sarcastic, swearing, fellow-cop coworking sister will make anybody laugh. Dexter: Season 2 is well worth your time to watch, and is a worthy addition to anybody's DVD collection!
