Rating  - More of the same... Yeah!
If you loved the first season, you won't be disappointed with the second. I watched this over a couple of weekends... may have warped my life view a little, but I was highly entertained. Michael C. Hall is fabu as is the rest of the cast. Not a dull character in the bunch!
Rating  - Why no effort put into the special features?
Many people have written a review of the series itself, but I haven't seen anybody yet mention that the special feature on this dvd are worthless!
Am I the only one who buys dvd tv shows and enjoys the odd interview with the cast members and a little behind the scenes here and there? I dunno, it just seems that it wouldn't cost so much to have a few words with Michael about what he thinks of his character, as he is certainly one of the oddest tv creations of recent years. My Sopranos, CSI and Oz dvds have a bucket load of features, and I'd be happy to throw an extra 5 bucks at a dvd set that gave me a little something extra than what I saw on cable tv.
I'm also slightly miffed that they offer the first episode of season 3 as a 'sneek peek' and then when I click on the feature it tells me to buy some crappy dvd set that I'm not interested in buying to see it.
Am I wrong? The show is great, I'd like to give it a 4 star but my disappointment of the lack of extras takes off a star. I hope Showtime puts more effort in to making the season 3 dvds worth a bit more to those of us prepared to shell out the extra bucks on having this on our shelf.
Rating  - Dexter - The Complete Second Season
I started watching this series during the second season and it seemed so dark and morbid. As I got into it I realized that Dexter was really a good man with a desire for justice and if the law did not take care of the evil doer, then he would. I had to buy the first season to see how it all began. The series is captivating and you almost cheer him on when he brings the demise of those that "almost" got away with crime. The fear of getting caught is always there and you wonder if he ever will be. I don't like the fact that his sister has a foul mouth but he needs her as I see that he uses her to his advantage. This is a very good series. If you do not believe in "eye for and eye" then don't watch it. Otherwise, I recommend it. The language and the killing may be questionable, but it keeps my interest.
Rating  - What a drop in quality
I think that the most interesting character besides Dexter was Doakes, but this season eliminated Doakes and in so doing, reduced the complexity and value of Dexter himself. By allowing that storyline to go forward and having Dexter do what he did. he is not avenging murders, he is what he was born to be a sociopathic, self-serving, serial killer, no more, no less. A great character has been destroyed and a character with depth is looking more like you would expect the brother of dopey, clingy, pathetic, Deb to look like. Not a good move.
