The Dexter Season 5 DVD collects all 12 episodes of the Showtime drama's fifth season, which premiered on September 26, 2010. Michael C. Hall returns as Dexter Morgan, joined by guest stars Julia Stiles as Lumen Pierce and Jonny Lee Miller as Jordan Chase.
This is a DVD, so it plays in standard US DVD players and in Blu-ray players, which also read DVDs.
Season 5 picks up in the aftermath of the shocking Season 4 finale. Dexter is now a single father. He hires a nanny for his young son and goes back to hunting, starting with a killer named Boyd Fowler.
That hunt leads him to Lumen Pierce (Julia Stiles), a woman who witnessed a killing and wants revenge on the men who attacked her. Dexter becomes deeply involved in her mission, and the trail points toward Jordan Chase (Jonny Lee Miller), a motivational speaker tied to Lumen's attackers.
At Miami Metro, Det. Joey Quinn (Desmond Harrington) grows suspicious of Dexter. Debra (Jennifer Carpenter) works the Santa Muerte cases and later the Barrel Girls murders. Peter Weller joins the cast as Stan Liddy.
Chip Johannessen served as showrunner for this season. He joined Dexter as an executive producer, along with Manny Coto, after the end of 24. Clyde Phillips, the previous showrunner, stayed on as a consultant.
The Dexter Season Five set marks a turning point for the character, as he rebuilds his life and finds an unexpected partner in Lumen. Owning it on disc means you can follow the story in order, with no streaming subscription required.

Season 5: Outstanding
Like another reviewer stated, I can hardly believe the people who posted such negative reviews watched the same show I did! Having watched all 5 seasons now, I feel the show just gets better as it goes along (though I wasn’t as fond of Season 2 as Season 1 and the others. ) After Season 4’s triumphant and super-creepy performance by John Lithgow, not to mention the absolutely shocking and devastating finale, I too wondered how they could top themselves. Well, they did, with the most horrifying portrait(s) of pure, unalloyed, sadistic evil yet showcased on the series — at least Jimmy Smits and Lithgow had their reasons, no matter how twisted. We have some suspense involving the nanny, Quinn, Peter Weller’s character, and the club shooting + the annoying new female detective (?), but by far the emotional burden of the series is carried by Julia Styles as Lumen, who does an outstanding job in an extremely difficult story arc. She’s completely believable as a horrifically abused victim on the brink of death who goes through all kinds of emotions as she struggles to reclaim her shattered life and become a survivor — I love the scene when she makes scrambled eggs for Astor and Olivia — “Good hangover food” — and then advises Dex not to rat on them, that they’ve suffered enough for their little drinking spree. Speaking of Olivia, I really loved the scene when Dex takes on her mom’s abusive boyfriend, explaining in clinical detail just why everything he’s doing to him hurts so much and why Olivia was so terrified of the same abuse he doled out to her. Scenes like these, plus Dex’s growing relationship with Lumen, show him developing into more of a human being with feelings, as other reviewers have noted — even the killing in the shed, though not by any means altruistic nor in line with Harry’s Code, shows a human response by someone under incredible grief and stress who has just been pushed over the edge. I look forward to Season 6 eagerly — if they top Seasons 5 & 6, I will be truly impressed. I knew Michael C. Hall had cancer and have been hoping he would recover, but am sad to learn of his divorce from Jennifer Carpenter. I hope things improve for both of these talented actors who have brought us 5 seasons of fine TV.

The Human Side of Dexter Appears
Dexter’s home life tragically came apart at the end of Season 4. How could the writers begin to top that intense season? Well, they did it as we continue to dig deeper into Dexter’s psyche. The rules set up by his dad are evolving. Dexter is now showing emotion and will emotions cause him to make a careless mistake and finally get caught?
Dexter is beginning to have feelings–his own versions of grief, sadness, joy, regret, and love. The writers take us on am amazing journey this season as we discover a new serial killer is menacing Miami. Poor Miami never seems to get a break. Their serial killings are rarely solved as the suspects disappear and the killings – all thanks to the work of Dexter. He is always one step ahead of his coworkers, especially his sister Deb who is particularly good at using her instincts to uncover the killer. It’s Dexter’s job to sabotage an investigation if the homicide team is getting too close to finding the killer.
This season’s star is the lovely Julia Stiles as Lumen. DEXTER has had some great guest stars throughout the seasons. Stiles brings a bit of humanity to Dexter. She lights up the screen with her beauty and passion, but what is the passion that she shares with Dexter? Dexter is motivated by his need to kill while following his father’s “rules.” Lumen has the need for revenge and closure. The two clash and collide and come together as one. The transformation in Dexter is remarkable. He and Lumen need each other and their chemistry is electrifying. I have to be vague in my review so as not to give away any details. Suffice to say that the viewer is in for some major surprises and the writers take us on an amazing journey. Twists and turns abound. It can get comical, at times, to see how Dexter comes within inches of being discovered and leaves unscathed. The writers did a fantastic job this season and I want more DEXTER!
