This review is from: Dexter Season 4 (Amazon Instant Video)
My 5 star review is based SOLELY on the previous seasons of Dexter. I love the show. I am addicted. I have been tearing through the previous 3 seasons. Tonight, when i felt the need to get my Dexter "fix" and start season 4, I came here and was concerned with all the negative reviews regarding the edited nature of the show. I nervously purchased the season. It is NOT edited. Not to spoil things, but nudity happens fairly early in episode 1. It is safe kids (well maybe not safe FOR the kids). The purchased version is NOT edited. The "free sample" is probably the one that people are complaining about. Long live the Bay Harbor Butcher!

This review is from: Dexter Season 4 (Amazon Instant Video)
I liked the family-man spin that Dexter has taken in this episode, but I saw the "shocking finale" in episode twelve coming from this very telling beginning. Not to spoil anything, but Dexter should know that his dark passenger will eventually cause nothing but horror and grief for everyone around him. To have a family in that situation with what he does is probably the most evil thing he does on a regular basis.
On that note, however, it has been suggested that if the right frontal lobe of the brain is either underdeveloped or has some sort of damage, as is suggested in the last season's full body scan, it would cause a person to become disassociated with feelings and conscience. Be this as it may, it seems to me that Dexter has PLENTY of emotions. He just lacks the ability to identify them correctly. Just like a person born with a heavy callous over a part of the skin, there are still nerves going to it. If you shave away the callous you can feel just like anyone else.
This season's closer should be something that finally shaves off a bit of Dexter's emotional callous; because if it doesn't he's going to wind up dumping his entire family into the bay.
And it really, REALLY sucks that Showtime hasn't released this season for sale online. I have Christmas credits to spend, and I wanted this, but Showtime says "Bah, humbug! Subscribe to Showtime and pay regularly to watch all of our programming, not just the one program you really WANT to watch! Dexter's the only show people really want to watch (and pay for), so we'll hold Season 4 hostage as long as it takes to get you suckled down on the tate." I don't care about Californication, Nurse Whatever, The Tudors or any of that other stuff. Give us Dexter NOW!

This review is from: Dexter Season 4 (Amazon Instant Video)
I have not enjoyed many TV shows, series, especially after Sex and the City... but when my sister told me about Dexter .. at first i was not impressed and thought, who wants to watch a psychopath killing innocent people, a serial killer. What could this show possibly have that would keep someone interested more than 2 episodes.. but i thought i would give it a try. So here i am...Season 4 Episode 12 ... and wanting more ... i know it is make believe but i love, the character he is so believable! and yet he pulls you in and you love the character, and see he truly does have a good heart, keeping you watching episode after episode wanting to change for his wife and family you see him really trying to become a better person... then the twist at the end of Episode 12... what are they going to do w the character next? how will it change the show? i want more and i need to purchasethe fourth season
