I have been a huge fan of DEXTER right from the beginning of the very first season. It is a show that fully pulls you in and has a premise much deeper than the simple description of blood analyst by day/serial killer of those worthy by night. This show really gets into the mind of Dexter and we get to fully understand how he became the way he, why he does what he does and also understand his reasonings. DEXTER is one of the best shows out there and though this season, the sixth, is not totally up to par with the better seasons, it is still better than most television out there.
The blu ray presentation here is amazing as all the seasons are. The black/white ratio is excellent and colors are bright and vivid and pop. Skin tone is very realistic and clarity is amazingly precise. The darker scenes are just as vivid as the beautiful Florida scenery shots. Add to the almost perfect 1080p video a Dolby Tru-HD 5.1 audio that is sublime and you have the best viewing experience possible. Dexter's voice overs come out the speakers strong and present. The rest of the dialogue is crisp and clear as well. And surround speakers are put to great use here. There is much action with season 6 and at the right moments all speakers are utilized for utmost effect.
My opinion on season 6 has changed greatly from my opinion after watching it air last season. Upon first tv viewing I found the season a little lackluster but was totally enthralled by the character Brother Sam played by Mos Def and found the ending an excellent unexpected twist that definitely made the whole season make sense and also sets up season 7 expertly. Season 6 is primarily about Dexter facing the issue of religion especially in regards to what he wants to teach his son Harrison. The Doomsday Killer is the evil entity this season and with first viewing it didn't seem fully effective to me. The first 8 episodes were fine but the next 3 seemed to loose steam before the final explosive excellent episode. After a reviewing of the season on blu ray I now can honestly say everything about this season was excellent and it was all held together as always by the presence and superb acting of Michael C. Hall as Dexter. The entire reason this season seems a little subpar is the casting. DEXTER has always cast the perfect people from Jimmy Smits to John Lithgow. Edward James Olmos and Colin Hanks just don't cut it here and the entire season is brought down a bit from it. The story line of religion is a good one and it is handled well here as we see Dexter struggle with it. Mos Def as Brother Sam brought a superb depth but the growing horror and suspense in the later episodes here totally lacked in true intensity due to Colin Hanks just not being able to handle the characterization he was given. Luckily, Michael C. hall runs the show and each episode still rings true due to him. Season 6 also has added emotional depth and intensity due to the welcome development of Debra, Dexter's sister played superbly by Jennifer Carpenter. She has always been a major player in the show but this seasons her role becomes eve more complex and imoportant.
Bottom line, DEXTER is such a great show that each season will have much discussion of how it held up to the others. Season 6, though not the best, is still great and is a must own for DEXTER fans. And the blu ray is definitely the way to see it. Highly recommended.
