Dexter - The Complete Third Season (DVD, 2009, Multi-Disc Set)

The series gets more exciting for every episode. The thrill of watching Dexter conspire and plan new kills really sets a cool chill down the spine. The brilliance of it all, the acting, the surreal feeling of a connection with Dexter's morbid ways. Everything just add up to a fantastic thriller. And best of all, it never gets old. The only disappointment in this series for me was the first episode in season two. So for those watching it, I'd rather just skip that episode. Don't know, but it really disappointed, and didn't give the satisfaction that the other episodes so gladly gave.

The episodes give a lot of variety, both seeing Dexter evolve mentally, and the excitement always builds up to the end, and usually the episodes fade to the calm voice of Dexter Morgan as he gives you a phrase that will blow you away and make the hairs on your arms stand up and clap.

The series has proved to be one of the best ones I've ever had the joy to experience.

I really recommend Dexter to everyone, especially those of great interest in the thriller genre, and for those just waiting for a groundbreaking series. Its as addictive as heroin!

Anyone that hasn't seen Dexter from season 1 through season 3 is missing out ! Showtime gets turned on every year for Dexter at my house and when its done for the season, its turned off. Dexter is a blood splatter patholigist for the Miami police dept. and I guess you could call him kind of a bounty hunter or a "cleaner". He rids the world of the "garbage" killers after he finds out (through his employment) who they are. Don't get me wrong, Dexter is a good guy but has grown up with the need to kill. His dad Harry (1st season) who also was a cop, turned his need to kill into something that would benefit the world, getting rid of the "garbage" that get away with everything they do, and then do it again. I can watch the season over and over. Dexter never gets tiring or boring. Can't wait for season 4 to begin.

I love this show it i the best show on tv. If you don't get showtime, or even if you do you need to buy this show!!

So Dexter puts down his scalpel for the Summer and we are left reeling after another typically tense, nerve wracking season. Since the second series dealt with Dexter himself being hunted, viewers might have worried the show would have peaked. After seeing our titular serial killer in the cross hairs, a return to just another mystery antagonist might have seemed decidedly old hat.

The writers are wise enough to know that Dexter's internal struggle is what's gripping and while the cases are interesting and entertaining; if they don't directly comment on our anti-hero our minds may wander. Enter Jimmy Smits and his force of nature performance as Assistant District Attorney Miguel Prado, Dexter's first true friend and surprise confidante, to shake up the formula. The Doakes character of the first two years provided a healthy conflict, here was someone who saw past the Boy Scout veneer of Dexter but the loss of that character last season could have wounded the dynamic of the show. Thankfully Smits inherits this mantle and while their relationship is different flashes of the same battle can be seen throughout. There is an initial shaky start when establishing this necessary if slightly improbable friendship between a lowly forensics specialist and a high profile DA.

The writers struggle to convince us the viewers that someone as obsessively secretive as Dexter could let someone new into his world. Death has always been Dexter's way of life so it is fitting that an initial murder (Dexter kills Miguel's brother in self defence) first brings them together and a second more justified (I.e. adhering to Dexter's code) locks the two characters together.

Miguel finds out that Dexter has killed a drug dealer named Freebo who Miguel assumes was his brother's killer and surprisingly he sees the justice in Dexter's extra curricular activities. This gives the show a brand new colour as we've grown so accustomed to Dexter the lone dark defender so adding a sidekick, a slightly unstable one at that is fantastic fodder.





There is a background mystery involving yet another serial Killer "the Skinner" who is also looking for Freebo. This is the procedural dressing that gives the side characters something to investigate and while it does take a while to properly dovetail with the main story arc, when it does it is wonderful. This is essentially a two header however between Smits Miguel and Halls Dexter and their shifting, constantly evolving dynamic is a master class of good Television. In particular the scenes they share in later episodes crackle with an undeniable chemistry.

Shows like Prison Break and 24 pride themselves on twists and turns but Dexter is one of a select few of shows that genuinely surprises me and while the end destination is never entirely in doubt it does challenge the viewer by placing characters in very awkward situations. Every time I think they've written themselves into a corner there's a swerve left and the whole nature of the show can be uprooted. In a good way, though I promise! There is a danger that too many close scrapes for Dex and the tension will be removed, a network crying a type of "serial killer wolf" but for the time being it works. I always think the show is at its best when Dexter is under pressure and racing against the clock. This season however gives us both sides of the character, the desperate self interested "hero" and that of the master manipulator.

As much as I enjoyed it the show

I decided to buy this DVD to complete my collection of the Dexter series. It arrived promptly and was just as described by the seller. The price was right and S&H was reasonable. I'm extremely pleased with my purchase and will definitely continue to use E-bay as my source for shopping.

it is one of the few programs that both my wife and i like. dexter is a serial killer with a quirky conscience and sense of right and wrong. it is interesting to see how his sense of values guide him.

I really enjoyed this season of "Dexter". It is such a well written show. The writers constantly come up with surprising plot twists and unexpected antics. The addition of Jimmy Smits was brilliant! He is so well known for being a "good guy" that it was great to see him in a bit darker role. I had to laugh the first time I heard him say "f*ck". For me, a huge fan of "LA Law" and "The West Wing", it was almost surreal. The chemistry between him and Michael C Hall is really pretty good. I love that you aren't quite sure if they are going to stay friends or not.

There are some great character developments going on in season three also. I especially like how they are really defining Rita, Dexter's unaware girlfriend. I also enjoyed the storyline associated with Maria. Her character really goes through an emotional wringer on this show. I think it is great how she stays strong and deals with whatever is thrown at her.

I recommend this show to everyone. I do recommend to watch the first two seasons first though. There are so many references to past episodes I would think that someone starting to watch during the third season would be a little lost.

A very good storyline idea that is fresh and unique. It's a serial killer you actually will like and almost root for, because he struggles to be normal and be a good person and do the right thing. He tries to right the wrongs of the world with his own brand of justice while maintaining a decent lifestyle that anyone would want to emulate. From a loving and adoring girlfriend and get perfect kids that adore him, to his struggling sister seeking to earn her own place in the world and make her own mark outside their hero fathers shadow. Anyone can emulate this show and see themselves in the many charicters within. Compellingly addictive!

LOVED IT. GREAT BUY. ALRREADY HAD SEASON 1 AND 2. SEASON 3 WAS GREAT. LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING MORE.

I loved that this seller was in such great communication. Once I asked where my item was she quickly answered that she had an emergency she had to attend to. She then immediately sent my item. Great seller!

This series about Dexter, who is a vigilante killer, is amazing. The episodes get better with each season. I strongly recommend this entertaining and well done show to everyone. It is worth subscribing to Showtime for this series alone.

I really loved the fact that the season 3 of Dexter had the new wrapping on it like it said! Fast delivery! Perfect!!! Great doing business with this seller!

if u like dexter than u will like this season.good all around show.okkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

Fast shipping, as described, would buy again. I highly recommend this seller, great ebay experience.

we were excitedly waiting for it is arrive and were not disappointed. we love the dark humor of the dexter series - it is a great season.

I never received my DVD in the mail and when I contacted the seller they were going to send me a new one, but it was going to be like 2 weeks before they could receive it from their supplier so I cancelled the order and received a full refund. While I was bummed I didn't get the DVD I thought the seller handeled the situation very well.

It's kind of like a funny horror film with non-stop cliff hangers. One of the most inventive series ever. Characters, directing, and writing are all awesome. Bravo.

Dexter just gets better as it goes along. I highly recommend this along with Seasons 1 and 2 for mature viewers. Michael C. Hall should win the Emmy every year for best actor, and the whole cast is excellent. The revelations Dexter faces in this season keep you on the edge, and you can't wait for the next episode. Great series!!

The 1st 10 show well written and very well acted. It made you want to watch next show right away, loved it. Then ame the last 3 shows. This started out so great and then they rushed the story line to end the season. Made me wonder why I was in a hurry to see the last 3 shows and made season ending up to feel empty.

Excellent show, the price that was offered was a good one. Packaging was good and, though not blue ray, the quality of the video/audio is excellent

I received the DVD in two days like it mentioned brand new without any problems. Very happy with the quick response. Thanks

great series contiues with catchy story line!! can't wait for season 4!! I would recommend this for any Dexter fan. If you haven't seen Dexter before, i would recommend getting the first 2 seasons so you can follow all the story lines :)

Perfect, just what I ordered. Can't wait for season four. Shipped to me quickly. Very happy. very very happy.
