After playing a mild-mannered funeral home director in SIX FEET UNDER, Michael C. Hall makes a smooth transition to a serial killer in this Showtime original series. But the twist in this smart show is that Dexter chooses to prey only on other serial killers. As a child, Dexter was adopted by a cop (James Remar) who quickly realizes that his new son is no ordinary boy. Since Dexter is compelled to kill, his law-abiding father pushes him to choose his quarry in a way that will best benefit society. As Dexter grows older, he works as a blood splatter expert in Miami, giving him a close view of other murderers and their handiwork. Stylish and blackly comic, this drama is adapted from Jeff Lindsay's novel DARKLY DREAMING DEXTER. This release includes the entire first season, which largely focuses on Dexter's pursuit of the coldblooded Ice Truck Killer and his own efforts to evade detection.

|
Pros: Amazingly well written, acted, produced, shot, etc. A masterpiece.
Cons: The Serial Killer is the HERO! I will never look at Hefty bags the same.

Pros: Intriguing story, good acting, subtle twists and turns.
Cons: Occasionally graphic, not for younger viewers.

I would recommend seeing this in DVD format over cut network versions. That is if you can handle bad language. If not, see the cut network version.
