Dissatisfied by the slim pickings offered by my freeview channels and currently in the middle of the long wait until the summer when the final series of Breaking Bad is aired, I went in search for a new US TV boxset which could keep me entertained. My search led me to Dexter which has glowing reviews on Amazon, IMDB and of course Dooyoo so I was convinced enough to buy a copy of Dexter season 1 from Ebay and try it out for myself. The lead character Dexter Morgan is a good-looking thirty-something blood spatter analyst in the homicide section of the fictional Miami Metro Police Department. Dexter puts a lot of effort into appearing normal and he carefully ...  Read the complete review

Does watching the delightfully debauched dealings of a demented psychopath sound appealing? No? Then you clearly haven't been watching the dark and deadly exploits of Dexter, star and namesake of Showtime's hit drama. Dexter Morgan (Played by Michael C Hall of Six Feet Under) is a smart, charismatic blood splatter analyst who works for the Miami Police Department alongside his adoptive cop sister Deb. He has a house on the shore, a boat, a good job and a girlfriend. You would think that would be enough right? Wrong, for poor debonair Dexter has a compulsion, he needs to kill. Now this isn't anything new for Dexter, he's been dealing with and suppressing his ...  Read the complete review

Orphaned at the age of four, Dexter Morgan was raised by his adoptive father; an experienced police officer who recognised that Dexter was "different". In adulthood, Dexter is a respected member of the police force himself, specialising in the analysis of gruesome crime scenes. Socially, he has a pretty girlfriend and enjoys spending time with her and her children. At face value, Dexter is the perfect gentleman. But appearances can be deceptive. Beneath the surface, Dexter is a killer; a skilled psychopath who abducts and imprisons his victims before brutally despatching them by varying methods. Dexter's tastes are, however, somewhat refined; he only kills ...  Read the complete review

After seeing an advert for Dexter on ITV I knew straight away it was going to be a series that I would enjoy. The fact that it was shown late at night also made it pretty obvious that this wasn't going to be a gentle crime drama but one with lots of blood no doubt. Since then some other channel scooped it up so I've had to get my Dexter fix from the box sets. Dexter Morgan is a blood spatter expert. That isn't all that he's good at though. Some people have hobbies that they enjoy. Maybe bike riding or painting. His however, is a lot more deadly. Hunting down killers that he perceives have gotten away with their crimes. Either by escaping the law or ...  Read the complete review

The first season revolves around Dexter Morgan - a blood splatter analyst from Miami Metro born in a pool of blood. Like everyone however Dexter holds a dark secret and has a need to kill people. To try and control his needs and not get caught he must abide by certain rules know as the code. He can only kill bad people who deserve it such as serial killers & rapists. He does this to keep his urges at bay. The story really is engrossing and the first main serial killer in season 1 is known as the Ice Truck Killer - a cold hearted serial killer who freezes his victims bodies. Very good twist at the end of the season as well but I wont spoil that :). ...  Read the complete review
