Dexter - The Complete Second Season

Dark and sinister is the new sexy, thank you for Dexter, who in his second season proved to be the most successful series Showtime has offered yet. Remember how you squirmed in your seat at the season finale? Believe it or not, the first of the season two felt like he could have been a season finale - because jaws were on the floor when the credits rolled. To be a so-called sociopath, Dex is quite divided on the horrific events that concluded last season. The only person who could possibly understand it is six feet underground, and it seems unlikely that our hero is losing its grip homicide. It is even having a little trouble deciding to place some of its latest victims (of a murderous gang member in a chain-wielding fiend of his past). Enter Lila (Jaime Murray, Hustle), a lady with a soft British accent and a few dark secrets of his own. It seems to accept Dex for whom it is really, and he is feeling relaxed for the first time in his life. However, his relationship with his girlfriend Rita (Julie Benz) has been stretched almost to a breaking point. The problem is, it should be anything but relaxed. Someone has chosen a bad place to go scuba diving off the coast of Florida, and came in a cemetery under: Dex the primo place to file dismembered bodies wrapped in heavy-duty trash bags. Word on the "Butcher Bay Harbor" sort fast, and the FBI sends the best of the best, Special Agent Frank Lundy (Keith Carradine, Deadwood) to collaborate with the police to "sniffer" in Miami later serial killer. This type is not schlub, Dex May and have met his match. And, yes, Dexter is working with Lundy on a daily basis, which provides some wonderfully awkward moments. It is certainly not help intuitively that the paranoid Sergeant Doakes (Erik King, Oz) is hot on the trail Dex.

Season two Dexter is on all decisions. Lila or Rita? Or the old code new code? Run or fight? Right or Wrong? Well, one thing is certain: When it comes to writing, casting, acting and production, the makers of this show all the right decisions. Michael C. Hall is simply superb as the title character. You will not find yourself more willing to truly root of a serial killer. It is the bloody liberation. -- Jordan Thompson
