Dexter: The Fifth Season [Blu-ray]

Everyone’s favorite next door neighbor serial killer Dexter Morgan returns in the fifth season of Showtime’s hit series Dexter, and this season he once again has a fellow partner in crime. The Peabody Award-winning and Emmy-nominated series delivers a fifth season that is only a half step or so behind the magnificence of its first, second, and fourth seasons. It remains one of the most gripping and addictive dramatic series currently being telecast and earned five Emmy nominations for this season’s episodes. The twelve episodes that make up this fifth season set display the same surprising amount of heart (not just eviscerated ones) as in previous seasons and even probe more deeply into Dexter’s longing for a connection to the real world which, for a time this season, he gets. The unbearable suspense inherent in his slayings, on the other hand, continues to bring viewers to the edges of their seats. There is humor and horror here combined into a delectable package that makes Dexter one of television’s most unique series.
