I was a HUGE fan of Six Feet Under and I actually jumped with joy with the release of the first season of Dexter as Michael Hall, the star of Dexter and part of the core cast of Six Feet Under, was one of my favorite cast members in Six Feet Under. For those of you like myself who missed the first season, the second season will send you rushing out to get the first season as well. Dexter is a "blood spatter" expert for the Miami police department and ironically his "job" is to find killers when behind closed doors he is a serial killer himself.
The only real issue with the second season is unlike season one it seems to be more reliant on "fluff" instead of going into as much background on Dexter and his story. I'm not sure if this had something to do with the writers strike, but it just seemed a bit rushed. Overall though its an excellent show and if the first season had not been so amazing I would have nothing bad to say about the second season. I actually watched the second season first and then went and rented the first, and honestly I loved the second season until I realized how awesome the first season was... heh.
Overall its a great series and I cannot wait to see season three, sadly I think I'll have to wait till it comes out on DVD as my schedule is full this semester.. ahh well thank goodness for DVDs eh?
Now for the official info :
DEXTER is a crime drama about Dexter Morgan, a man who leads a double life as an incredibly likeable forensics expert for the Miami Police Department and as an emotionless vigilante serial killer. Taught by his foster father to harness his lust for blood and killing, Dexter lives by his own strict moral code - he only kills murderers who can't otherwise be brought to justice. Dexter is a killer who grapples with fitting into society while, at the same time, he struggles with his inability to feel emotion. The irony of Dexter's life is that he works closely as a blood splatter analyst with the very people who hunt his kind - the homicide department. Dexter's "Regular Joe" front is in full force while working alongside the ill-tempered Sgt. James Doakes, who seems to be the only one to sense Dexter's more sinister side, and Lt. Maria LaGuerta, the head of the division who pursues Dexter sexually with as much force as she would any criminal. While his sister, Debra Morgan, a tough and determined cop, leans on Dexter for personal advice and career advancement, the closest one Dexter "connects" with is Det. Angel Batista whose similar attention to detail and taste for forensics almost mirrors his own. While sentiment and feelings elude Dexter, he struggles to find a kindred spirit of sorts in his emotionally damaged girlfriend, Rita, who keeps him grounded in the realities of "normal" life and provides him respite from the dark corners of his mind. The series is based on the acclaimed novel, "Darkly Dreaming Dexter," by Jeff Lindsay

I love crime dramas! I didn't have any of the movie channels when this started, so I'v been waiting for the first couple of seasons to come out on DVD to catch up!
krisindam@mac.com
My daughter and I are waiting for this cd to come to Netflix. We don't have cable so must rely on the dvd's to be sent. I would love to win this as we both love watching season one and haven't seen season two yet. Thanks so much.
I'm a huge fan of crime shows. Into all the CSI's and etc. I caught this a couple of times on HBO while visiting relatives. *we don't have cable. Would love to be able to watch an entire season of shows. From what I read on the reviews the second season is the best.

I love the story line: a double life as a police forensics expert and a vigilante serial killer - and Dexter is soo sexy!

I love Dexter. I read the book and it was interesting to see how they adapted it for TV, which characters lived and which were killed off. The cast is great, too. I love Deb and all the cops.
I adore Dexter (great mix of drama and really dark comedy) but don't get Showtime so I'm not caught up on Season 2 yet.

When is a hero not really a hero, when he comes from the ever so slightly twisted mind of Jeff Lindsay! This is a great series & I would love to own the 2nd Season!
I love Dexter! I ordered the upcoming action figure and bobblehead... hehe!

Thanks again!
Dexter is my favorite show. I pay for Showtime and it's the only show I watch! (I now, I'm nuts--but I love Dexter)
"Dexter" is one of my favorites.
It is an awsome show.
Dexter is more human with an innate goodness than many non-psychotic characters. Too bad he has to be a serial killer!!!
Love the show and watching the way his mind works.
This is the one show that I never miss.
Jaleigh78[a]aol[dot]com
As did so many, we became hooked on Dexter in the second season. But my daughter missed several episodes, so this would be great for her to catch up.
I missed the first season also but jumped right in to season two. I am so intrigued by this show. I would never have thought that I would be rooting for a serial killer so I feel a bit bizarre about that fact. I actually like Michael Hall better in this role, even though I was a huge Six Feet Under fan. I would love to win this and , yes, I would then be purchasing season one.
This is one I've been wanting to watch. Thanks for the chance to win.
I would like to win this because it is my son's favorite show. Thanks for the contest.
Dexter is one of the best shows on tv ever!!!
I missed some of the season, I would like to be able to catch up on the one's I missed.
I have the first season of this on DVD so this would be perfect. Love this show!
I haven't seen these.
Can you imagine living Dexter's life? I like the series and would love to have the DVD.
pintolinda (at) hotmail (dot) com
I have been watching Dexter since the very first episode. My husband and I are obsessed with it. It is one of the best shows on Television today. I cannot wait for the third season to start in September. I would love to win b/c it is just a genius show.

Dexter is the best show on tv right now - its smart, funny, and satirical. A shame that only showtime is brave enough to air it!
I fell in love with the handsome but dangerous Dexter the first season.
I have heard so much about this show, I would love to win this.

I was excited when Dexter came out on DVD because I don't have cable anymore.
We caught part of the series on regular tv when it was playing. We would like to see all of season 2 to know what we missed.
I have never seen it
would love to own season 2 b/c this would go well with the season 2 poster i own and would give me an opportunity to watch season 2 of dexter. thanks
I LOVE Dexter so much- I watched th eFirst season in 2 days, then I read all 3 books in a weekend. There may be something wrong with me. I'm on tenterhooks waiting for season 2!!
I love this show! I wanted to be a criminal psychologist so the fact that this show is around the serial killer, love it! It is a really great story line. I want to read the book, I was told it is quite different from the show.
Hi, I have read good things about this show before! Suspense and crime
shows are my favorite. If I understand correctly, he kills people who are otherwise going to beat the system! Please enter me in your drawing for season 2 of Dexter. Thank
you.....Cindi

I love Dexter! This is the most "edge of your seat" show ever!
I also saw Season One on CBS and now I'm hooked! I'd love to catch up with Dexter and see what he's up to!
I caught on to this show late and would really like the opportunity to catch up. Sure, sure, I know, I still need the first season... but every little bit helps!
I LOVE this show! I'm only 3-4 episodes into Season 2 and I'm trying to catch up before Season 3 beings. I even ordered Showtime just for this show!
I rented the first disc of the first season of "Dexter" from Blockbuster, watched four episodes in a row that night, and went back for the rest of them. That show is addictive! I'd love to win Season 2.

Missed most of the first season, would love to get caught up.
I started watching Dexter last season, and it is kind of an evil outlet for me. haha. I love the fact that he uses his 'hobby' for good.
I have not seen this show, my girlfriend is a big fan, so I'd love to win

I loved the book(s)and this show is actually better than the book.
I would love to watch this series.
I started watching this with my teenage daughter and have to admit I am as hooked as she is. Would love to have this to watch with her on our schedule and not television's.
as twisted as he is, Dexter is still endearing. great series
I love shows that are different from the norm. I love how Dexter is dark but normal at the same time. Thanks!
we would love to see this series. we rented the dvds of the first season from blockbuster. winning these would be so much cheaper than renting or subscribing to showtime!

Great Contest. Good Luck Everyone.
I've heard really good things about this show, but I haven't had the chance to watch it myself. I would love to win one of these!
i'd KILL to watch this show!
Who would have thought a serial killer could be so attractive?
The basic premise of this show is convoluted enough I'm dying (ha, ha) to see it! Haven't seen a single episode yet; but, I'd like to change that.
