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

Average Rating: 
Rating: - Eerily Masterful !
Quickly gets you attached to the characters, and as long as you can put up with a healthy dose of foul language, it is one one of the best TV dramas because of the intensity of its suspense. I never expected this series to be as good as it is.

- Dexter, season one
This review is not about the show itself, others have already commented on that and I can’t really add anything that they haven’t said, it’s just a primo show. This review is on the product of the Season One dvd set. 12 episodes on 4 discs and then some bonus features on disc four which includes the first few episodes of “Brotherhood” and a real life blood splatter mini documentary. As for the rest of the set, the main menus are pretty cut and dry with episode lists and audio setup. Unfortunately, … Read More

- Technical Fail
Say what you like about the show, this is a mention of the bad technical quality of the discs.
I just finished watching Season 1, Disc 1. I won’t be watching the rest. While the “English 5.1 Surround” soundtrack seems fine, here are some critiques of the rest:
* The “English Stereo” soundtrack is reversed. Everything that should come from the left comes from the right, and vice-versa. So, in episode 4, where his girlfriend comes to visit dressed as Lara Croft, she knocks on … Read More
Rating: - Ya Gotta Love Dexter
Great story line! Excellent Cast! The series is so well written. If you enjoy building a library of TV series on DVD, this is a must have. If you have never seen the show before, it’s a “gotta see”, start with season 1 and enjoy. It’s weird to tell yourself you like this Dexter character and your pulling for him and some how justifying in your head it’s okay to like a “serial killer”, ya know, he does have a “code”.
Rating: - 2 dvd’s
