DEXTER {Season 2} (DVD Review) - 25/5/09

I really cannot believe it took 2 years for this to be available on DVD in the UK? Season 3 is just showing in the States - Will it take another 2 years to see it on DVD in your own time? This time around we actually get 5 discs in this set (One of them a complete Special Features Bonus disc) unlike the First Series which was pretty vanilla. With the fallout from the previous season starting to lay quiet Dexter suddenly finds himself in the middle of a murder hunt with the discovery of his seawater burial site. With the FBI being called into the case with a killer becoming known as 'The Bay Harbour Butcher' Dexter finds himself caught with several loose ends coming undone. He has an obsessive Police Sergeant scrutinising his every move & background and his relationship with Rita has gone down shit creek, problems from his past resurface causing problems in the present and an English nut-job called Lila causes Dexter even more problems. It's amazing just how quickly 12 episodes of something that you are really enjoying just flies past and finishes - Again no silly cliffhanger, but still leaving you wanting more! There is a parallel here between the character of Rorschach (From the Graphic Novel 'The Watchmen') and Sgt. Doakes in 'Dexter' both believe in an ultimate truth and if your guilty - Your guilty - No grey areas. A TV show that has it's audience rooting for it's serial killer lead character?

With this set we get 4 episodes with Trivia Tracks and a Trivia Game & Feature. Interviews, Animated Stills, Featurettes and Cast/Bios Filmographies.
