Manufactured by: Showtime / ParamountCustomer Review: The dead bodies of 18 victims are accidentally found in an underwater graveyard. The killer, who becomes known as The Bay Harbor Butcher, has dismembered his victims' bodies and wrapped all the pieces in plastic bags. Soon a task force of FBI agents and police officers is assembled to investigate the case and one of their first discoveries is that The Bay Harbor Butcher only kills other killers. If you watched season 1, then you already know who the Butcher is: Dexter Morgan. And you might also be able to tell that this story is really tense. Special Agent Lundy, leader of the task force, is brilliant and usually able to outsmart Dexter. Sergeant Doakes becomes Dexter's archenemy. He is sure that Dexter is hiding a secret and won't give up until he finds out what it is. In a Narcotics Anonymous meeting, Dexter meets a beautiful and unconventional woman, Lila, who has a dark side of her own and makes Dexter feel good about himself, because she believes no one is all evil. Rita, on the other hand, isn't very happy about Dexter's new friend. New relevations about Harry will make Dexter even more uncomfortable, as if he didn't have troubles enough.
In my opinion, this season managed to be even better than season 1. Under federal investigation, Dexter's cool facade cracks and he becomes much more human. He makes a lot of mistakes and in a sense becomes a worse person. In season 1, the Ice Truck Killer was the bad guy, but in season 2, Dexter is "the root of all evil," as he himself said. When compared to honest police officers, Dexter's criminal activities look more criminal than ever. This was a nice change of perspective. Yes, Dexter only kills other killers, but it turns out that when his survival is at stake, all his masks fall and we can finally see the monster. - UPC: 097368925144
