Hall from "Six Feet Under") is adopted by a police officer who recognizes Dexter's homicidal tendencies and guides his son to channel his gruesome passion for human vivisection in a constructive way - by killing those heinous perpetrators that are above the law or who have slipped through the cracks of justice. A respected member of the police force a perfect gentleman and a man with a soft spot for children it's hard not to like Dexter.

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. --Sam Graham

This is the absolute greatest TV series in existance! And we don't even like TV that much! Watched this and the second season, now we are anxiously awaiting Sunday nights! You MUST check this show out, even if you just rent the first disc. We did and had to purchase the whole season immediately. It is different, funny and horrifying all at the same time!

Dexter is unique, with compelling characters and a plot line unlike anything else on television. I was hooked from the first episode. Great show, I want more!

I LOVE this show. It is worth keeping in the house to watch over and over. However, when i bought the disks they were scratched even though they were brand new! I couldn't even watch the season finale because the routing menu wouldn't work. I exchanged the disks with amazon for new ones and the new disks did the same thing. It must be a manufacturing error. Just be aware.

I first got hooked watching it online from a company that rents movies through the mail that also allows you to watch instantly through the interwebs. I got hooked and loved the series. The first season is great (IMO better than the second). He appears more normal in the 2nd season and strayed away from his quirks.

My fiance and I don't have TV, so we rent all of the television shows that we watch. I rented the first season when my fiance was out of town, and I watch the whole season in one night! I don't usually like "scary" things, but I was hooked. When my fiance got back home, he watched the whole first season in one night too. We bought both the first and second season off of Amazon, and we have been watching them almost every night since.
It is a great, original show. It's a nice break from the ... Read More
