The Dexter Season 2 DVD collects all 12 episodes of the Showtime drama's second season, which aired from September 30 to December 16, 2007. Michael C. Hall returns as Dexter Morgan, the Miami police blood spatter analyst with a secret, and this time the investigation turns toward him.
This is a DVD, so it plays in standard US DVD players and in Blu-ray players, which also read DVDs.
Season 2 picks up about a month after the first-season finale. Dexter finds he cannot kill, because Sgt. James Doakes (Erik King) is watching his every move. His sister Debra (Jennifer Carpenter) is staying with him while she recovers from her ordeal with the Ice Truck Killer.
Then divers discover Dexter's underwater dumping ground. The media names the unknown killer the "Bay Harbor Butcher," and FBI Special Agent Frank Lundy (Keith Carradine) arrives in Miami to lead a special task force.
At home, Rita (Julie Benz) suspects Dexter has an addiction and pushes him into Narcotics Anonymous. There he meets Lila Tournay (Jaime Murray), who offers to be his sponsor. Meanwhile, Doakes grows more suspicious that Dexter is tied to the earlier murders.
Critics praised the season, and it scored 85 out of 100 on Metacritic based on 11 reviews. The Chicago Sun-Times called Dexter one of the best shows on TV that decade. In the Dexter Season Two set, the pressure on Dexter comes from every side: Doakes, the FBI task force and his own family.
Dexter ran for eight seasons and 96 episodes on Showtime, and owning each season on disc lets you follow the story in order, with no streaming subscription required.

Sometimes the Dead Speak
In the second season a certain person’s body dump is found, and the FBI bring in a Special Agent by the name of Frank Lundy to look into the case. This makes Dexter feel cornered, but not as cornered as the things that dealing with Rita’s ex make him feel. she insists on a 12-step program and he finally goes, meeting a force called Lila in the process. Lila makes Dexter a promise that she will heal him, too, and he hopes everything he hears is true. along with that are troubles that involve Doakes, the man who killed his mother, control, and a sister that is climbing the ladder as she works toward that detective badge.
In the second season, Dexter picks up where it left off and adds in quite a few twists and turns that I didn’t expect. The Rita’s-ex situation has some ripples that I didn’t see coming, and those ripples has some negative impacts and some positives that pay off big time. There is also the thing with the Bay Harbor Butcher case that cause so many conflicts in Dexter’s life, and that lead to something that I didn’t see coming. As with everything else in the series, the acting is great and the character development keeps on keeping on, making things all-the-more beautiful when it comes to the show. Also added to this is the exploration of Deb and the way that she gets over what took place last season, making things interesting – to say the least. Adding to all of this is the way that the killings are done in such artistic fashion, plus the fact that we find out more about Harry and about Dexter’s past – namely his mother. This brings up some serious question in Dexter’s mind and it starts something that is a big odd – seeing Harry as some type of mixed conscience/ reminder of what Harry was in Dexter’s life, bringing so many things to the surface. Personally I love seeing Keith Carradine come in and play special Agent Lundy, and i love the way that the BHB case develops. It has its turns and it has its near scrapes, and it has Dexter wondering about everything in his life. If anything, it makes him feel all-the-more real.
If you missed Season 1, go back and catch it. If you loved the first Season, rush out and see this without regret. Just bring enough supplies to keep you going through all of the episodes because, like all good things, you won’t want to leave the television without knowing what will happen to Dexter and the people that surround him. This is a first-rate program, enjoyable to the core, and warrants more than one viewing just to catch the various killroom set-ups, the plot twists and the hidden pieces, and everything else that season 1 showed us Dexter could be. Recommended highly and then some.

Love this series!
This show just gets better and better. Dexter is sweating bullets thru most of the second season because they have discovered all the bodies he has cut up and dumped in the ocean. The FBI has put together a task force to find the killer (Dexter) and it’s a game of cat and mouse for most of shows. Keith Carradine is in most of the shows and although Dexter thinks he suspects him, the FBI agent just likes his opinions. Yes, that is the way it is with Dexter. Just when he thinks he is suspected, he finds the people mostly just respect him and want to know what he thinks. In other words, he always escapes punishment just when you think he is going to get caught. His love life is picking up speed too but then Rita thinks he has been cheating on her and dumps him. He starts an affair then with a sociopath and the tension rides high for the entire season. No matter what he does, we his fans are making excuses for any bad behavior on his part. He kills the serial killers because the courts can’t convict them or find them. He doesn’t cheat on his girlfriend until after she has broken up with him (he’s silly enough to think when she says it’s over that it’s really over) and that is when he sleeps with the sociopath. Deb, his sister sets him straight. See what I mean…we should be hoping this serial killer gets caught…instead I am making excuses for him at every turn just like his girlfriend and foster sister Deb. Yes, there is something about Dexter that makes you want to turn him into a good guy, but if that happened, what would the show be about! The show has its humorous moments and it’s just great! You can watch seasons 1 and 2 from netflix and season 3 from video on demand from amazon or direct tv if you don’t want to buy the discs.

A bloody good show!
Even though I am a huge fan of “Dexter–the First Season,” I couldn’t imagine a better second season. In fact, I’m going to need imagination-stretching exercises because all the people behind “Dexter-The Second Season” give us just that–a BETTER second season!
An observation: Whoever determines casting definitely has an eye for borderline anorexic women with small breasts. Dexter’s sister Debra, his girlfriend Rita, and newcomer Lila, an English woman he meets in a 12-step program and who becomes his sponsor for Season Two–all match that description.
In Season One Dexter tells us over and over he is emotionally dead, but as the season progresses, Dexter truly develops feelings for Rita and her two children. In Season Two he no longer denies his feelings, making it clear how much Rita means to him. However, Lila’s presence and declaration that she understands him moves Dexter off-kilter.
Throw into the boiling pot the discovery of all Dexter’s plastic bags of body parts hidden at the edge of the ocean’s currents and the viewer has an explosive combination that keeps him/her on the edge for all of the second season.
But I neglect to include Special Agent Lundy, who has come to Miami to solve the serial killer case after the plastic bag discovery. He always gets his man and in one scene in particular, I could not imagine how Dexter would escape being identified. But remember? I have an imagination problem. I was wrong. Lundy (wonderfully played by Keith Carradine) also plays a pivotal role in a sub-plot. Nah, I’m not saying.
As the season nears the end, I am astonished to think that the program will end the way it seems to be heading. However, by season’s end all loose ends are tied, and concludes, better than first season, with a promise of even better things to come in the third season.
I’ve described the bones of Second Season, but not the flesh. Season Two is about relationships: lovers, friends, lust, love, co-workers. It is also about character development. I did not care for Dexter’s sister Debra in the first season, but her character development made me become quite fond of her in the second. Lila’s character becomes more and more annoying as the season progressea, but I did not like her to begin with.
Sometimes the tension is thick enough to cut and once I actually screamed out loud! I scared both me and my cats! In one episode when Dexter drags a torso from one of his victims into the police department with Debra nipping at his heels, I kept thinking, How will Dexter get out of this?
Michael C. Hall is brilliant as Dexter.

Long live Dexter!
Season two of this Showtime piece of excellence is just as good as the first season, if not better. If you haven’t already met Dexter Morgan (played by Michael C. Hall), he’s a Miami police forensic expert – he specialises in blood spatter – with a taste for murder all of his own. By twist of tale, Dexter’s past comes back to haunt him this season and Dexter the hunter becomes Dexter the hunted. This takes the excitement and suspense up to new heights.
Dexter is still coming to terms with the season one’s shock ending and initially finds (to his horror) that his killing skills are not what they used to be. And as if he didn’t have enough worries, Sergeant Doakes (played by the lovely Erik King), the only one around who senses that Dexter is not all that he seems, is still very much on his case. Add to that the fact that his sister Debra (played by Jennifer Carpenter), who is still recovering from her own trauma from season one, is asked to join the FBI manhunt for him. The team is being led by Special Agent Lundy (played by Keith Carradine) and this is a development, Dexter remarks sardonically, that “makes for an awkward family dynamic”.
Also very interesting to see this season, is the relationship between just-demoted Lt. Maria Laguerta (played by the brilliant Lauren Velez) and the new Lieutenant parachuted in over her head to take over her shift command, Lt. Esme Pasquale (played by Judith Scott). The cracks in Dexter’s seemingly perfect relationship with girlfriend Rita (played by Julie Benz) that began to appear in season one, also begin to get wider this season so look out for Jaime Murray, fresh off her stint on BBC’s drama “Hustle”, playing the sexy, free-spirited Lila.
There’s much more but I don’t want to spoil it for anyone who hasn’t seen it. Twists and turns abound and each episode seems to bring a new shock for the viewer to take in. The humour is dark but it is hysterically funny – a shock in itself, considering the over-arching subject matter. Unless you’re someone who gets squeamish easily (most of the violence is implied rather than shown but there’s still violence and there’s still plenty of blood) this is a definite must-see. I never thought the day would come when I would be rooting for a serial killer – even a fictional one – but here we are. That I’m doing so is more down to the excellent writing and Hall’s easy charm, than to anything else. I’m as happy as Larry to know that there’s already a season three on its way and I hope they take this series as far as is logically possible.
I say long live Dexter!
