DVD Description
Dexter Morgan was adopted by a police officer who taught him to use his gruesome lust for killing in a positive way: to exact vengeance on people who deserve it. Now an adult, Dexter leads a double life as both a well-liked forensics expert and a vigilante serial killer who kills perpetrators who have slipped through the justice system. Involved in the investigations of headline-making murderers such as the Ice Truck Killer and the Trinity Killer (John Lithgow, in an Emmy®-winning performance), Dexter begins to feel the pressure mount and his secret life becomes harder to hide – especially after his unknowing sister joins the force. And when he becomes a family man, he has more to lose than ever before. Can he continue to stay one step ahead of his team without leaving evidence of his own crimes behind – and keep his family intact, too? This must-own collection contains the chilling first five seasons of Showtime’s Emmy® - and Golden Globe®-winning series.

Firstly a bit of advice - if you buy the big boxset it is quite pricey. I would recommend buying them individually (if it works out cheaper) or trying the first season or try and catch one online to see if you like it.
(UPDATE!! - 12/12/11. Just noticed it's at 49.99 at the moment and if it stays at this, get the whole thing as that is a bargain price!)
Before I'd watched 'Dexter' for the first time, I had the difficulty with the concept of it. I've always disagreed with an eye for an eye and even though I knew Dexter only killed 'bad' people that had killed others, I thought it sounded too weird to enjoy as a programme, let alone for 5+ seasons.
I don't know what I was thinking! 'Dexter' is absolutely incredible. It is by far the best thing I have seen on television in a long time. As I've mentioned above the show follows Dexter as a 'loveable' serial killer who has a 'dark passenger': his urge/need to kill. He is also a blood spatter analyst for the Miami police department which seriously makes for brilliant viewing. Each season is normally dedicated to a particular 'case' for the police department and there are numerous kills for Dexter that go alongside this but each episode keeps you gripped and often guessing.
There are some amazing characters and you follow Dexter's sister Deb throughout and his growing relationship with Rita from the first episode as he tries to balance his dark passenger with leading a normal life. You also follow the lives of the other Detectives in the Miami Met and their sub plots which just makes every episode interesting. Keep watching for a part played by John Lithgow in Season 4 - it is sheer genius.
I'm trying to get you to watch this and give it a go as I know without the push from a friend, I would never have tried it and now I am addicted. I'm currently eagerly awaiting Season 6 and I wish I were in your shoes about to start from the beginning. Surprisingly, Dexter really is loveable and he's got a great dry sense of humour which makes Dexter really quite funny at times. 'Dexter' is entertaining, tense, scary at times, even moving too. It has brilliantly written storylines played by superb characters - I just cannot fault it! Absolutely compelling viewing.

Would thoroughly recommend Dexter to everyone. Was entrathled from start to finish. Slick production, excellently acted with a fantastic script, Dexter will appeal to those who love a good cop drama, combined with some gruesome murders and a helping of pyscho analysis. Micheal C. Hall plays an absolute blinder and somehow manages to twist our morals about serial killers to such an extent that you will not only like his character but you will be begging for him to remain at large. How sick is that? Get it watched ASAP if not sooner!

Bought the box set after watching series 1. Overarching plot developments become more interesting in some subsequent series, although the essential format remains the same.
