| | |  | GIFT SETS | Home » » Dexter: The First Season | | | | | | | Description: | | Dexter is based on the compelling novel "Darkly Dreaming Dexter" by Jeff Lindsay. Orphaned at the age of four and harboring a traumatic secret, Dexter Morgan (Dexter Morgan (Emmy- and Golden Globe- nominated actor Michael C. Hall from "Six Feet Under") is adopted by a police officer who recognizes Dexter's homicidal tendencies and guides his son to channel his gruesome passion for human vivisection in a constructive way - by killing those heinous perpetrators that are above the law or who have slipped through the cracks of justice. A respected member of the police force, a perfect gentleman and a man with a soft spot for children, it's hard not to like Dexter. Although his drive to kill is unflinching, he struggles to emulate normal emotions he doesn't feel, and to keep up his appearance as a caring, socially responsible human being. | | | Product Details: | | | Actors:

Usual smooth amazon transactionMar 10, 2010 this DVD set arrived more quickly that I anticipated. It was new and I loved the story. I bought all 3 seasons. I will buy the 4th, when it becomes available. thanks, amazon.
boingMar 05, 2010 thought the show was rather boring...not very "edge of my seat". definitly an original show idea i must say! i prefer, by a high mark, criminal minds...
Only series I have ever boughtMar 03, 2010 I am not into series and will not buy series, but I bought this one. The only other series I have ever boughten is Band of Brothers and that was really a mini-series.
This is good stuff. It is intelligent, sarcastic, sexy, vulnerable, justifiable and you laugh at the narrative and some of the dry humor that goes on. There are very contrasting characters set up. A good guy serial killer series basically in a nutshell.
I watched the second series too and enjoyed that enough to buy the 3rd season.
For me, I rent other movies on the weekend and when I was watching the 2nd season, I would not take the time to watch my rented movies because I wanted to watch Dexter instead. It will suck when I run out of episodes to watch.
Highly recommended.

Purchased this item for my wife!Feb 25, 2010 My wife had been asking for an item that would help her lose some of the stretching done to her midsection by our beautiful baby girl :) So, I tried a few in-store items and my wife couldn't get the right product. Then we both did some research online and came across this product. Put in an order and when we received the product it was all smiles until we realized it was not tight enough! Another dollar wasted and one more item to add to the several other types! Well, an idea came to mind! Since this item has preset velcro straps, why not buy some additional velcro tape that can be sized to apply to the belt! Worked like a charm with a quality glue! Just wanted to share.
Completely carried by Hall and the writingFeb 16, 2010 4.7 stars
This show is excellent mainly due to the tight bond Hall makes with this character. I'm not crazy about any of the acting here except Hall's, but he's flawless throughout, bringing a subtlety that few actors on the big or small screens ever master to this degree.
Nearly every episode is well-written, paced, and directed; the season arc is a good one and plays out nicely, no need for spoilers here!
It does get a little gory at times, but the series is about a serial killer, after all. I have some very queasy thoughts about why a series this twisted is so popular, but I guess it's just another Clint-type revenge drama where psychopathic violence is justified by (a vaguely) moral imperative; we do need our foreign policy to start somewhere.
Hall is even better here than in Six Feet Under, where he was superb. He carries Dexter effortlessly on his shoulders, but one can feel the amount of work and care he's put into this role. It's as impressive as Gandolfini's Tony Soprano, and that's saying a lot. As us isual for most of the best cable dramas, the first season seems to be the best, so savor this one if watching it for the first time.
Miami hasn't looked this good and this bad since Michael Mann was in town.
