As I do not subscribe to Showtime my son gave me the 1st season of Dexter for Christmas last year. I was hooked. I bought the 2nd season and am waiting for the 3rd season to be released. I also bought the 2nd season for my co-workers for Christmas as I also got them hooked. We can't stop talking about each episode.

I watched the first season on network TV and was addicted. I didn't think the second season could be as good, but it was. Maybe even better. This show is certainly different, and very entertaining. I could not stop watching.

With the way the debut season ended, you might think that they people in charge couldn't come up with anything to top that. But they do and in spades too whether it's Dexter's "alleged drug addiction", the sponsor that is supposed to be helping him said addiction. But she really has MANY issues going on with her which will made clear through the season. I will just say the woman gives Glenn Close (Fatal Attraction) a good name. Also Dexter is having issues with his girlfriend and a prolonged stay by her mother (JoBeth Williams) only conpounds the problems between them.

Also one of his coworkers is on to him and late night murderous dealings and basically lets him know it every occasion whether by stalking him or just being the all around jerk that Doakes is throughout the show. Along Lt. LaGuerta who's lost her job and is undercover (literally) trying to get it back by any means necessary. Dex's sister Deb is having her own issues still reeling from her having the Ice Truck Killer as her steady boyfriend. She finally finds someone and starts second guessing things and all that. Another player comes in as well from the FBI, Agent Lundy who's task is to be bring in the new serial killer that no one knows is right under their noses.

There are so many things going on in this season that its hard to believe that everything will get resolved but just look out for the last 2 or 3 episodes of this season to see how it does just that. I won't say anymore other than, if your thinking about getting into the show start off at Season 1 and believe me. By the time you get the second season of this show. You will know others already know about Dexter. It's a well done show, with an excellent cast and storylines as well.

I can't wait until season 3 rolls around on dvd.
