      Season 2 – Dexter

      2007 Crime Drama List
      96% 23 Reviews Tomatometer 97% 1,000+ Ratings Audience Score Dexter Morgan is a Miami-based blood splatter expert who doesn't just solve murders; he commits them too. In fact, he's a serial killer -- but he only murders the guilty, so he feels justified with his lifestyle choices. His policewoman sister and his cop co-workers have no idea Dexter lives a double life; however, adoptive father Harry knows his secret, and does, in fact, help Dexter hone his "skills." It's a unique brand of justice for which charming Dexter feels a psychological hunger. Read More Read Less Watch on Fandango at Home Premiered Nov 01 Buy Now

      Audience Member Classic. Genius. Addicting. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/22/24 Full Review matthias s "Dexter" season 2 is like a rollercoaster ride through the twisted mind of our favorite blood-spatter analyst by day, serial killer by night. With each episode, the tension builds like a well-crafted suspense novel, keeping you on the edge of your seat. From Dexter's intense cat-and-mouse game with the cunning Sergeant Doakes to his complicated relationship with his girlfriend Rita, every moment is filled with intrigue and unexpected twists. The season delves deeper into Dexter's dark past, revealing more about his upbringing and the origins of his "code" for justice. With its nail-biting suspense, complex characters, and dark humor, "Dexter" season 2 is a must-watch for any fan of psychological thrillers. Just be prepared to binge-watch the entire season in one sitting—it's that addictive! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/18/24 Full Review Holly Absolutely brilliant but Lila made me ashamed of being British.. are we that annoying!! Apart from her it was excellent xx Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/11/24 Full Review NONBELIEVER One of the greatest seasons of any show of all time! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/02/23 Full Review Toms c Better than the first season, the character contrasts between Dexter and Dokes, takes it to another level. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/11/23 Full Review Juan B The Bay Harbor Butcher is one hell of a serial killer name for Dexter. But it sure as hell caused him a lot of problems. This season was intense, lovable, insanely good, and Dexter v Doakes was crazy awesome. Perfect season. Slightly better than the first. 10/10 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      OC Register Staff Orange County Register I'll state it plainly: Showtime's Dexter is the best series on television. Period... The show's producers this season have had the courage to write themselves into the tightest of corners, giving darkly cunning psychopath Dexter Morgan no easy way out. Sep 25, 2020 Full Review Austin Smith New York Post It's quite an achievement to get people to cheer on a serial killer, but this is what "Dexter," the series, does. Sep 25, 2020 Full Review Emily St. James Slant Magazine Bolder and stronger than almost any other drama on the dial, a bloody rampage through the things that oh-so-tenuously connect us to our own humanity, and a terrific chiller where the monster under the bed is our very own protagonist. Sep 25, 2020 Full Review Mark Pickavance Den of Geek In terms of what came before, I think Dexter's second outing tops the first. I just hope it isn't one of those instances where in retrospect it might have been better to end on a high. Sep 25, 2020 Full Review Liam Hoofe What Culture The final few episodes of this season are some of the best in the show. Sep 25, 2020 Full Review Matt Paproth PopMatters [Created] a pressure that is rare to achieve on television or within any text. Sep 25, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews
