Dexter - Season 2

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

Season 1 review

In season 2, Miami is on the hunt for the Bay Harbor Butcher throwing Dexter's professional and personal lives in turmoil. To make matters worse, Sgt. Doakes has stepped up his personal investigation into Dexter's life outside of work.

Dexter also meets a woman named Lila who becomes a source of tension between him and Rita.

This show continues to be fantastically written and acted. I was riveted by every episode despite knowing there was a season 3 already in the books, and thus, lowering the odds of potential outcomes.

This is easily one of the best shows I've seen. I really want to point out people for their incredible performances, but it's easier to simply say the entire cast is at a level few shows can dream of achieving.

You know, for someone who claims to have no emotion, he sure does suffer from a lot of emotion.

Still, loving it anyway.

Damn, first episode sure set a shitty stage for ol' Dex.

For those who don't remember, he lost his killin' mojo, his girlfriend suspects he set up her ex husband, someone got away after seeing his face, and his body dumping ground was found.

Got to the 3rd episode... Dex was talking to the dead guy a lot (left ambiguous to avoid spoiling).

That same actor was constantly talking to dead people in Six Feet Under.

Which is weird.

Goddam, up to episode 8... spoilers...



















Dokes just found his stash of blood slides... Lila is a psycho, and is probably going to become more of a problem... the FBI task force is narrowing him down...

fuck this is intense.

Yeah, I remember season 2. While the series is certainly still good to watch, it doesn't measure up to the awesomeness that was season 2.

Powered through the last 4 episodes because... how can you just stop when shit is that tense?

Too bad about Dokes. As much as an ass as he was, he didn't deserve it.

Glad Lila got hers.

Well hopefully nobody who hasn't seen the show is reading this thread, or if they are they are avoiding Gordon's posts, but I will repeat that I cannot say enough about Dexter Season 2. One of the best seasons of any TV show ever.

I put a spoiler warning a few posts up, so anyone who read past that point is at their own risk.
