Orphaned at the age of four and harboring a traumatic secret, Dexter Morgan (Dexter Morgan (Emmy- and Golden Globe- nominated actor Michael C. Hall from "Six Feet Under") is adopted by a police officer who recognizes Dexter's homicidal tendencies and guides his son to channel his gruesome passion for human vivisection in a constructive way - by killing those heinous perpetrators that are above the law or who have slipped through the cracks of justice. A respected member of the police force, a perfect gentleman and a man with a soft spot for children, it's hard not to like Dexter. Although his drive to kill is unflinching, he struggles to emulate normal emotions he doesn't feel, and to keep up his appearance as a caring, socially responsible human being. Review: The Best Series I've seen--and I'm picky! - NO SPOILERS IN THIS REVIEW I don't know if I'm just deprived from watching a good series or if it is truly a reflection of just how good this one is, but this is probably the best TV series I have ever watched. I was a bit worried that the gore factor would be too much for my stomach. Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of clever crime drama movies like Seven or Silence of the Lambs or Zodiac, but the newer Saw-type movies leave me more nauseated and feeling weird than truly intrigued and in a state of mystery/suspense. The power of Dexter is two-fold: the characters you grow to love in the stories and the intriguing plot lines that exponentially pull the viewer in with each subsequent episode. The following are a couple of non-spoiling thoughts. The Gore Factor: This series is not the Saw-like gore fest. There is more than enough blood and CSI-like crime scenes 'after the fact', and there are plenty of times when you know what is about to happen before a killing, but you never see the actual acts the way Saw movies show, thank goodness. After watching a couple of shows, you get to trust that the makers are at least merciful in that respect. That being said, if you get queasy with the themes in a movie like Seven or Silence of the Lambs or even with CSI-type series, this is not for you (there are plenty of disembodied dead corpses you see on the crime scenes--Dexter is a `blood splatter analyst'), and of course, the subject matter is fairly dark (though thematically the show is `lighter' than something like Seven or Silence of the Lambs, because the characters involved are quite likable, and there are sprinkles of comedy relief throughout). Dexter--the character: Here's an oxymoron that might disturb the viewer: he's an affable serial killer. Within a few episodes, if one buys in to the scenario, one may actually find oneself vaguely rooting for Dexter as if he were a comic book figure making right the injustices in the world that cry out for a reckoning. The moral dilemma comes when you ask yourself if it is good to be rooting for someone like this. His likability comes in part by the relationships the series' characters develop with him, and his narration throughout the series, which reveal his struggle to fit in with the rest of normal society, and with the sub-plotline involving past scenes of Dexter's relationship with his adoptive father (a former beloved and decorated police officer). In some ways, Dexter's likability comes by his unbeknownst `good' effects that he has on the various people he's involved with in everyday life. The viewer may also get a sense that Dexter begins to approach his own humanity as the series progresses, due to his own explorations of his past, and the other external events happening around him, which force him to begin a journey into his own psyche. Other Characters: I found that by the closing episodes, I had fallen in love with the various supporting characters in the stories. With that comes suspense. One starts to worry about his partner, sibling, office comrades, boss, etc., and there are subplots to the show not directly relating to Dexter, which allows the viewer to get glimpses in the other characters' lives. This only adds to the overall suspense in many respects. Plot lines (absolutely no spoilers): Though this is a series, there are on-going story lines involving mysterious characters and events that will intrigue the viewer. There are unexpected twists, `who done it?' type questions, and character development stories: all of which are absorbing and keep the viewer considerably more attentive with each passing episode. Due to the fact that each episode is built on previous plotlines, it's important to watch them in order. Hope this might help! Review: Something different. - This is one of the most imaginative, and creative shows I have seen in a while. I love this show, I love Michael C Hall as Dexter, and everything about this show. The pacing, the acting, the writing, music, everything, nothing is bad about this show. I watched Season 1 as it aired on TV (I read Jeff's book first, then again at the end of the season) And they match each other well. I was lucky to watch this in HD, but I was growing impatient to watch this show again (as I deleted them from my TiVo). When the dvds came out, I watched the whole set again. Just recently, I watched the dvds again, followed by watching season 2 off my TiVo. Season 1 follows the book, not exactly, but to an extent. It makes a great first season. I fell in love with this show at first airing. Anyone I show this to, loves it. I do not wish to spoil anything, just note, it does get better in season 2! Also buffy fans should be happy to know Julie Benz plays a fantastic role in this show. I rate this show a 5, it may not be a 5, but my blind love for this show prevents me from finding any faults, it is that good. I rate the dvds a 3 out of 5 (thats being polite). The video quality on this show is about a 3. Showtime / CBS / Paramount fail to realize this show is 50-60 minutes in length, and cram too many episodes on each disc. Audio 4 out of 5, as with all showtime / cbs / paramount dvds, the default audio is stereo, you need to change it to dolby digital. Also, no subtitles, only closed captioning (great if you are watching this on a "tv", I'm using an HDTV "monitor" which has no closed captioning. Extras, 2 commentary's, one with cast, one with the producers, the one with the producers is really good, and you should check it out. They also have a bonus feature, which covers how they use blood splatter in real cases, which is nice. I give this a 3.5 out of 5. Season 2 follows its on path, and tells a new original tale. Hopefully this will continue with further seasons. I eagerly await Season 3, and future books, you cannot go wrong with this. also, please make sure prior to starting to watch this, you alot the time available to view it in its entirety. Especially if it is your first time, it is so addicting, you cannot step away from the TV, when this show aired on TV it drove me crazy, awaiting each week. Trust me, it is THAT good. Thats why I refused to watch any of season 2, and just Tivo'ed them, and waited until the season finale to watch it in its entirety. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Contributor | C.

I send all this money to my cable company for subscribing to Showtime, and I never watched Dexter? Now I'm a day late and more than a dollar short! But purchasing Dexter - The First Season at Amazon was worth it. How good is it? Well, there are 12 apx 1 hour episodes in the 4-DVD set, and it took my wife and me less than 12 days to watch the whole series. I think that we even watched three episodes in one night. In other words, the show is compelling enough to make you very want to get to the next episode. So certainly one of the good things about Dexter on DVD is that you don't need to wait 12 weeks to see a season from start to finish. But certainly the best thing about the series is how well done it was. Dexter (played by Michael C. Hall of HBO's Six Feet Under fame) is a blood spatter analyst with Miami Homicide. It's his job to help solve murders, and he also happens to moonlight as a serial killer....Just a side note that last part. The acting in the show is terrific, and the thrills and twists are plentiful. Combine the nature of Dexter's professional life with his favorite pass-time, and you can bet your carotid artery that there's plenty of blood in the show too. But rest assured that the show isn't just about killing. Relationships, family, the inner working of a homicide squad...all of this "stuff" is also packed neatly into the Dexter series and makes the show one of the best on TV that I've seen in a long long time. The show (I hear because of a lack of programming due to the recent writers strike) has been ported from Showtime over to sister company CBS television, but I just can't imagine this show without the R-rated material...from the blood to the adult oriented situations and language. So I'd recommend this DVD set highly over trying to catch this on "regular" TV. Add this bloody-good show to your cart. I've already got a pre-order in for Dexter - The Complete Second Season since I missed that on Showtime too. ## Frequently Bought Together - Dexter: Season 1 - Dexter: Season 2 - Dexter: Season 3 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/2268771-dexter-season-1](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/2268771-dexter-season-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-06-01*
