The Dexter Season 4 DVD collects all 12 episodes of the Showtime drama's fourth season, which aired from September 27 to December 13, 2009. Michael C. Hall stars as Dexter Morgan, and John Lithgow guest stars in every episode as the Trinity Killer, a role that won him a Golden Globe.
This is a DVD, so it plays in standard US DVD players and in Blu-ray players, which also read DVDs.
Season 4 finds Dexter settling into family life with his wife Rita (Julie Benz), her two children and their new baby, Harrison. Keeping up a double life gets harder when there is a newborn at home, and the strain starts to show at work and with his family.
Retired FBI agent Frank Lundy (Keith Carradine) returns to Miami on the trail of the "Trinity Killer," a long-active serial killer who follows a specific pattern. Dexter soon becomes personally drawn into the hunt.
John Lithgow plays Arthur Mitchell, the Trinity Killer, in all 12 episodes. Critics singled out his performance; Emily Nussbaum of The New Yorker called it "so creepy I'm still not over it."
The fourth season received critical acclaim and is often considered by critics to be the best season of the series. At the 2010 Golden Globes, Michael C. Hall and John Lithgow both won for their work this season.
If you only own one season of the show, the Dexter Season Four set is a strong choice. Still, it builds on earlier seasons, so it is best watched after Seasons 1 to 3. Owning it on disc means you can revisit the Trinity storyline any time, with no streaming service required.
Catch up with Dexter: Season 3 or continue with Dexter: Season 5. For the whole run in one box, see Dexter: The Complete Series + Dexter: New Blood, or browse our TV series collection. For episode details, read the Wikipedia article on Dexter Season 4.

The Best Season of Dexter Ever!!
The fourth season of “Dexter” is the best one yet!! Thrills, chills and kills at every turn. The “Trinity” killer is Dexter’s most challenging opponent ever and there’s excitement through and through. New characters are introduced, and Dexter grapples with the roles of husband & father co-existing with the serial killer he is. There isn’t a season-ending cliffhanger, but the final episode is one of the series’ best — well written and great acting combined with the intensity that only “Dexter” can provide. A 5-star viewing experience and every “Dexter” fan must see this season in its entirety!! Every actor/actress in this TV show is a better-than-ever performer. Kudos to the entire cast & crew!! The downside is wondering whether this season can ever been topped.

And Just Why Do We Love Dexter
This Is one of the best Characters written on the air today.
This season keeps the jaw dropping and has another great season ending. I was completely shocked at this seasons ending. Co-Staring the Great John Lithgow. Whom we know can be frightening. Or loveable. In his acting career.
But the trick of this show Is we do like Dexter, We do empathize with him and we feel Oh all kinds of things he can’t.
So this really was another 5 star season. If they keep up with these writers this show could be on for another 4 years easy.Each episode Is carefully crafted to have It’s own story and his sister plays an Integral part In Dexters “Playing at Reality” and keeping up his image.
She Is a great actor herself, all the supporting cast Is. Rita Is Great.
Yet the season made you want to see the next episode for what was going to happen next like a compass to North.
Gripping entertainment. Anyone into season 4 I’m sure knows every one I’m speaking of.

Brilliant season of a brilliant series
After three seasons of compelling and surprising stories, and just when you think they couldn’t possibly come up with anything as exciting as what’s come before, the creative team behind “Dexter” outdoes itself by carefully crafting an unendingly surprising and multi-dimensional story arc that has no extraneous moments — EVERY piece of it fits carefully into the whole. They keep leading you in one direction only to whip you around to an entirely different and exciting path and the circumstances keep shifting on many fronts. During broadcast, I kept thinking to myself, “I have to wait another WEEK to find out what happens next?!” And on top of all the carefully plotted and supremely acted story lines, they manage to ask and explore really deep questions about identity and fate and human nature. Absolutely brilliant, and while I’m delighted that John Lithgow was recognized for his fearlessly fantastic performance as Arthur Mitchell, and I appreciate both Bryan Cranston and Mad Men, I gotta say that I felt that the Emmys should have gone to Michael C. Hall and Dexter. Anxiously awaiting Season Five.

Good Season, just not Dexter’s best
So, let me begin by stating that if I’m rating this show in relation to most of the nonsense and “reality” shows on TV right now this show would get the full 5 stars, not the 4 I rated it. That being said, the Season begins with a pretty graphic and slightly disturbing scene with Lithgow’s character killing his victim in the tub and making her watch herself die…..and this ends up being foreshadowing for what is to come in a very creepy and fascinating study of human nature.
Lithgow is very strong in this season and creates a pretty complex, nuanced character that really showcases some of his abilities. I’m sure as an actor he was pretty grateful to be afforded the opportunity to work with such strong material. Bringing Carradine’s character back for the Trinity killer arc was nice and set up some pretty interesting TV, though one begins to wonder if Debra is going to make it through a season without finding 2-3 people to sleep with. Not that I’m opposed to women who like to spread the love, or anything like that, just that season after season it gets a little one note. Also very interesting was Dexter’s fascination with Arthur and even more so when the truth about Arthur and his family starts to emerge. All in all, the main arc was very satisfying.
The rest of arc involving Rita in the kids was hit and miss for me. I loved the relationship and the complexities that came with Dexter having to face what it takes to be in a relationship and watching Dexter grow just a little bit and learn to embrace a bit more of his humanity was interesting. It also sets up the surprise ending that really hits both Dexter and the audience right between the eyes so all in all, very well planned.
The Angel/Bautista romance I could have done without. The police detective suspecting Dexter thing has already been there done that with Doakes….why repeat it exactly with Quinn? The astor storyline was a bit tedious. However, even with those less than interesting arcs, I found the season as a whole to be very strong and would recommend it anyone, after they watched the first 3 seasons of course. 😉
