Even if you share my substantial concerns over what it says about American society today, you'll find it difficult to dislike this razor sharp, wry and troubling show.

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. [More]

Reviews for Dexter -The Complete First Season
Mixing drama, comedy and horror, Dexter's first season presents itself an unforgettable and highly addicting look inside the mind of the world's most sympathetic psychopath.
The Showtime series Dexter challenges comfortable assumptions about human nature...a winningly novelistic narrative. [Blu-ray]
If you're a fan of sly, dry serial killer stories then you're pretty much guaranteed a great time with this 12-episode opening season.
