Momentum 2008-07-09
After Dexter's first excellent season, I wondered if the show could possibly continue the fascinating, thrilling momentum of the series while offering up new storylines. But the second season starts off with a bang when Dexter's underwater graveyard of victims is discovered, and all of a sudden the Miami PD and FBI are all hot on the trails of a new serial killer ... him. Dexter's manueverings to avoid being caught occupy much of the season's plotlines, but the rest of his energies are focused on the women in his life. While sister Deb and Rita both find themselves growing out of their roles as victims and taking more control of their lives, Dexter becomes involved with a dark, dangerous woman named Lila. Once again, Dexter finds himself torn between a his deceitful "normal" relationships and a more authentic, yet completely destructive one.
All in all the show delivers a second stellar season, and I'm left wondering ... what can they possibly do next?
Dexter is Delectable 2008-07-08
This sounded like a gorier CSI with an implausible plot, but it is nothing of the sort. The characters are fascinating, the casting is just incredible. You're rooting for and against characters all the time. Dexter himself is so fascinating, it's so cool seeing all of his layers. We can't get enough of Dexter.
A nice, clean monster. 2008-06-29
Remember the days when HBO shows kicked arse? Whether it was AL SWEARENGEN ruling the roost of THE GEM, or TITUS PULLO skewering some poor plebe, or even BEN HAWKINS touching someone back to life. Well, we all know those days are sadly gone, but thanks to some gutsy, creative thinking on SHOWTIME's part we have DEXTER MORGAN. Take either one - season one's ICE TRUCK KILLER, or season two's BAY HARBOR BUTCHER, and you have what is (fact, not opinion) one of the best shows ever aired. Every TV series you've ever seen has had a quandary about the second season equaling the first. This one don't. Both seasons are on par Fan-friggin-tastic. MICHAEL C HALL (pulling a 180 from his superb character of DAVID FISHER from the superb SIX FEET UNDER) plays the best television character possibly ever. Hey, the guy likes to chop people (albeit, bad people) up into little pieces, but YOU LOVE HIM, that makes for compelling viewing any day of the week. Best show on the tube right now, HANDS DOWN. Can't wait for season 3!
DEXTER - Season 2 2008-06-25
Dexter - Season 1 got me hooked. Dexter - Season 2 just makes me want more! Season 2's story line was even better than Season 1's. Now I can't wait for Season 3 to start later this year!
dexter rocks 2008-07-22
i love dexter mainly because tv shows they play on tv these days are all reality and there really boring. yes, dexter is psychopathic and not for the faint hearted, but for the people saying its digusting and morally wrong and how can a person allow a show like dexter to be on air... its a tv show. it shouldnt have an impact on your life. if you dont like it dont watch it... simple.
Season Two Delves Deeper Into the Character of Dexter 2008-07-21
I'm not sure which season I enjoyed more- one or two. I'm leaning towards two. Mainly because this season we are all familiar with the characters and their backgrounds. Even better, this season delves deeper into Dexter's background, as well as a few other characters. You'll be on the edge of your seat!
Season 2 brings on the drama, a fast-paced thrill ride that takes you watching late into the night just to watch another episode because you can't wait to see what is going to happen next. The actors in this season only get better, as does the writing. We are given some satisfying conclusions to previous stories or characters. We are left wondering where season 3 is heading. I can't wait!!
Dexter is as entertaining as anything you can come up with. This is TV at it's most original. I recently subscribed to Showtime just to see this show in the fall! Don't miss out!
AMAZING ! 2008-07-21
Season 2 is amazing !!!! Great twist and turns, and suspense !!
I can't wait for season three now !!!
Sick program for sick people 
2008-07-19
I cannot understand how anyone, other than sickies desiring to watch these revengeful satisfying acts. They are about a man who fulfills the death lust in each person, by inflicting pain on those who are no so innocent. Do I have the right to cause the killer to suffer in the same way that he/she caused suffering to others. Would I feel this same way if it was I who had the child who was brutilly killed by a sex killer? ABSOLUTELY. But, I would hope that I would not be asked such a question while I am crazy with anger and pain. I would hope that descision would be placed into the hands of more sane individuals that right would prevail. To those who feel they need this, in their psycological make up, who recieve release from these sickning acts, which Dexter does. Isn't it somehow wrong to you, to recieve satisfaction, derived from your death lust. For in this way you are becoming like the very people, whom you desire to inflict pain upon, those who inflict pain on others. Just remember, "David does, as David thinks." I do hope you will get help from a professional, clergy, psychologist or whom ever.
Long live Dexter! 2008-07-19
Season two of this Showtime piece of excellence is just as good as the first season, if not better. If you haven't already met Dexter Morgan (played by Michael C. Hall), he's a Miami police forensic expert - he specialises in blood spatter - with a taste for murder all of his own. By twist of tale, Dexter's past comes back to haunt him this season and Dexter the hunter becomes Dexter the hunted. This takes the excitement and suspense up to new heights.
Dexter is still coming to terms with the season one's shock ending and initially finds (to his horror) that his killing skills are not what they used to be. And as if he didn't have enough worries, Sergeant Doakes (played by the lovely Erik King), the only one around who senses that Dexter is not all that he seems, is still very much on his case. Add to that the fact that his sister Debra (played by Jennifer Carpenter), who is still recovering from her own trauma from season one, is asked to join the FBI manhunt for him. The team is being led by Special Agent Lundy (played by Keith Carradine) and this is a development, Dexter remarks sardonically, that "makes for an awkward family dynamic".
Also very interesting to see this season, is the relationship between just-demoted Lt. Maria Laguerta (played by the brilliant Lauren Velez) and the new Lieutenant parachuted in over her head to take over her shift command, Lt. Esme Pasquale (played by Judith Scott). The cracks in Dexter's seemingly perfect relationship with girlfriend Rita (played by Julie Benz) that began to appear in season one, also begin to get wider this season so look out for Jaime Murray, fresh off her stint on BBC's drama "Hustle", playing the sexy, free-spirited Lila.
There's much more but I don't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it. Twists and turns abound and each episode seems to bring a new shock for the viewer to take in. The humour is dark but it is hysterically funny - a shock in itself, considering the over-arching subject matter. Unless you're someone who gets squeamish easily (most of the violence is implied rather than shown but there's still violence and there's still plenty of blood) this is a definite must-see. I never thought the day would come when I would be rooting for a serial killer - even a fictional one - but here we are. That I'm doing so is more down to the excellent writing and Hall's easy charm, than to anything else. I'm as happy as Larry to know that there's already a season three on its way and I hope they take this series as far as is logically possible.
I say long live Dexter!
