Amazon.com:
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

- awesome show!
a relative recommended this show to me, and I'm glad she did (because since I don't subscribe to Showtime)...I wasn't aware that this series existed, until recently. Thankfully, Netflix took care of that little problem for me.

Dexter plays a vigilante of sorts, a hero with a very dark side...he gives justice to those that the criminal justice system can't find or put behind bars.

Michael Hall is a great actor, balancing a killer on the one hand and a likeable, lovable professional ... Read More

- You can run but can't hide....
I had never heard of this show nor actor before until it came on CBS due to the writer's strike last year and a friend told me I should watch it. Glad that I took her advice. I love the whole series. I bought the DVDs and keep me on edge even though I had seen some on TV. The ice-truck killer is one of the best cases and it keeps people guessing. It also keeps the viewer guessing about Dexter's past which he cannot remember until it is almost too late. No one can play this role better than Michael C. Hall. ... Read More

- Dexter Rocks
I absolutely love Dexter. It is witty and it is certainly far different from any other show I have ever watched. Just think A serial Killer with morals and a code of honor, how odd!

- Absolutely can't miss
It's not often that we, the viewing audience, are asked to root for a serial killer to get away with murder. But we are. And we do! There is palpable tension in every episode that genuinely made me nervous for the plight of our anti-hero. Our anti-hero is a blood spatter analyst for the forensics department and is clinically and then personally drawn into the progression of murders that happens by another serial killer.

I think even more interesting than the plot, which is methodical, coherent, a bit ... Read More

- Great!
Got to me in a timely fashion and was exactly what I ordered - brand new DVD, still in the plastic wrap. Was very pleased with my product.
