5/5
Great series
by Leon Kirton (Travelling)
Absolutely love this series. They picked the perfect actor to portray Jeff Lindsay's greatest character.
5/5
Well crafted series
by R. Ralston
As creepy as the plot line is for this series, it is very well done. Michael C. Hall is outstanding as Dexter. We really enjoyed the character development.
5/5
Air Conditioning is overrated
by TastyBabySyndrome ("Daddy Dagon's Daycare" - Proud Sponsor of the Little Tendril Baseball Team, USA)
In the first season, we find ourselves introduded to the characters that will stay with us for quite some time. amongst those is our loving host, Dexter, and the wonderful slide collection he takes time and energy collecting. This seems to be the one driving force in his life until he sees something that changes everything: he is called to a crime scene and finds a body that is devoid of all blood. This makes Dexter drool and, before long, he becomes entangled in what the press is calling the Ice Trcuk Killer, actually finding himself invited to play a game with him. This leads to a lot of revelations about his past, and awakens a few things that make him wonder what Harry really was when it came to the both of them.
When looking at Dexter, there are a lot of things that catch the eye. From the script (that follows the book in ways that are beautifully orchestraed) to the way the lighting for each death secene makes its own type of visual sexiness, this series has so much to offer its viewers. I hung on each episode as I watched them, and this feeling has continued all the way to where I am now - in the middle of Season 4. The reason for that is because you don't find yourself slighted in the story but instead you find yourself continually smitten by the way the story grips and doesn't let go. I have a love for that whenever I find it in a show, and this series is one that really brings everything to the table. From the actors that stay with us to the surprised that twist and turn, Dexter delivers on everything it promised and more.
If you've ever wanted to root for someone doing bad deeds, this is your chance to feel good about it. I personally love the way Dexter plays games with everyone he meets, putting on his mask and pretending long enough to seem normal in even his victim's eyes, and I also love the way Dexter is present here. From flashbacks to finding out bits and pieces about the man behind the bloodslide, you'll definately come back for more.
I haven't seen anything this addictive in a long time.
4/5
I had doubts however was pleasantly suprised
by Anastasia Diavatopoulos (Dallas TX)
I must admit that I had doubts when my ex-husband said I should purchase this series...I did and at first I had doubts but I became a fan and I'm now watching season 2. the caracters all have their quirks and intermingle well with each other, well written, well directed, BRAVO!!
5/5
A Killer
by J. M. Robbins (Pennsylvania)
What more can I say that hasn't already been said? Funny, thought-provoking, thrilling! I loved the books when I read them and am happy to see they have been so well adapted (at least the first one, which is all I've seen so far). The Dark Passenger seems to get short shrift in this first series, and that left me without much of an insight into what Dexter really thinks. I know his narration spells everything out, but I just wasn't convinced without some more description of what was in the Dark Passenger's mind. Still, I enjoyed this thoroughly. Sgt. Doakes is perfect!

An interesting and original idea that's very skillfully executed, Showtime's
Dexter
is never less than watchable, often quite compelling, and sometimes thoroughly riveting. As the 12 episodes from the show's first season (packaged here in a four disc set) reveal, it's also the epitome of "high concept," a kind of
Silence of the Lambs
for the
C.S.I.
generation. Creator-executive producer James Manos Jr.'s title character, one Dexter Morgan (played by Michael C. Hall of
Six Feet Under
renown), works for the Miami Police Department as an blood spatter analyst, visiting crime scenes and helping figure out what happened. He has an avocation, too: during his off hours, he tracks down some very, very bad people who for various reasons have eluded the proper authorities. Seems his adoptive father, a cop himself, taught the kid how to channel his dark side in a "positive" direction; and so, having captured these evildoers (including a child molester-murderer and a recidivist drunk driver with a trail of bodies in his wake), Dex dispatches them with clinical precision, thus making him a serial killer who snuffs serial killers. But there's more--
much
more, as it turns out. By his own description, Dexter is "a monster," an empty shell who fakes all human interactions and admits to no real feelings for anything or anyone, including his foster sister (Jennifer Carter) and his nominal girlfriend (Julie Benz), a former crack addict and battered spouse who's as uninterested in sex as he is. There's an explanation for Dexter's weirdness, of course, one so deep and traumatic that even he isn't aware of it. It's gradually revealed over the course of the season as he and the cops (who include Erik King, Lauren Velez, and David Zayas, all first-rate) track down the so-called "Ice Truck Killer," a fellow monster whose grisly m.o. both fascinates and taunts our hero, leading to a genuinely shocking and squirm-inducing finale.
Dexter
can be a bit arch, with an ironic, too-hip-for-the-room tone that get a little old. Still, it's a safe bet that anyone who views this first season will be salivating for the second. Extras include audio commentary on two episodes, a featurette about real-life blood spatter analysis, and a variety of DVD-ROM items. --
