BROTHERLY LOVE

Though they play brother and sister in the series, having met on the show, Michael C. Hall and Jennifer Carpenter married on 31st December 2008.

Dexter started off the series with a bang. Season 1 was incredible and an amazing adaptation of the horrifyingly entertaining book about a Miami area forensic scientist cum serial killer. Season 2 went off script a little and never fully picked up on the momentum of the first season.

QUALITY:
Great. This was a show that broadcast in HD on Showtime, so it was built for this format.

BONUS FEATURES:
Tricia, first 2 episodes of 'United States of Tara', featurettes, podcasts.

The bonus features are ok but the episodes of 'Tara' don't really fit with the much darker and more entertaining Dexter. Michael C. Hall still nails the creepily lovable serial killer with charm and departure. The storyline takes a decidedly bad turn toward the end and struggled for recovery the rest of the way.
