5/5 Sometimes the Dead Speak
  by TastyBabySyndrome ("Daddy Dagon's Daycare" - Proud Sponsor of the Little Tendril Baseball Team, USA)
In the second season a certain person's body dump is found, and the FBI bring in a Special Agent by the name of Frank Lundy to look into the case. This makes Dexter feel cornered, but not as cornered as the things that dealing with Rita's ex make him feel. she insists on a 12-step program and he finally goes, meeting a force called Lila in the process. Lila makes Dexter a promise that she will heal him, too, and he hopes everything he hears is true. along with that are troubles that involve Doakes, the man who killed his mother, control, and a sister that is climbing the ladder as she works toward that detective badge.

In the second season, Dexter picks up where it left off and adds in quite a few twists and turns that I didn't expect. The Rita's-ex situation has some ripples that I didn't see coming, and those ripples has some negative impacts and some positives that pay off big time. There is also the thing with the Bay Harbor Butcher case that cause so many conflicts in Dexter's life, and that lead to something that I didn't see coming. As with everything else in the series, the acting is great and the character development keeps on keeping on, making things all-the-more beautiful when it comes to the show. Also added to this is the exploration of Deb and the way that she gets over what took place last season, making things interesting - to say the least. Adding to all of this is the way that the killings are done in such artistic fashion, plus the fact that we find out more about Harry and about Dexter's past - namely his mother. This brings up some serious question in Dexter's mind and it starts something that is a big odd - seeing Harry as some type of mixed conscience/ reminder of what Harry was in Dexter's life, bringing so many things to the surface. Personally I love seeing Keith Carradine come in and play special Agent Lundy, and i love the way that the BHB case develops. It has its turns and it has its near scrapes, and it has Dexter wondering about everything in his life. If anything, it makes him feel all-the-more real.

If you missed Season 1, go back and catch it. If you loved the first Season, rush out and see this without regret. Just bring enough supplies to keep you going through all of the episodes because, like all good things, you won't want to leave the television without knowing what will happen to Dexter and the people that surround him. This is a first-rate program, enjoyable to the core, and warrants more than one viewing just to catch the various killroom set-ups, the plot twists and the hidden pieces, and everything else that season 1 showed us Dexter could be. Recommended highly and then some.


5/5 Dexter, the best series on TV

The Dexter DVD is a wonderful addition to your video collection. The picture quality was perfect and it was a pleasure to watch the episodes in the order in which they were filmed. As soon as I finished watching season 2 of Dexter, I bought the DVD for season 3. I strongly recommend owning this series for years of pleasure.

5/5 Upping the ante

If it were possible the second season of Dexter is perhaps even better than the first. Dexter's new girlfriend, Lila, turns out to be quite the hand full as his relationship with her puts more and more snags into his life.

One of the things that really makes this series interesting is the internal monologues that we hear as Dexter comments on life as he goes about his daily life. Often these thoughts are ironic commentaries about the world he is living in as he tries to assimilate into a world of people who seem so different from himself. Given his early childhood trauma of seeing his mother butchered he has suppressed his emotions in order to cope. As a result he goes about through life as a detached observer of life, and the people around him. It is his curse and his advantage over others. He can perhaps see people and situations more clearly than others given that his reason isn't clouded by the feelings, or the norms, that people passively accept or are guided by. Though, on the other hand, this has meant that he has had to work harder than others in order to act normal, which is something everyone else takes for granted.

This is an intriguing series which just seems to get better and better with each season.
