Dexter Season 5 DVD Review

America's favorite serial killer is back and as violent as ever! This season he meets a mysterious woman named Lumen, played by Julia Stiles, and enlists her help to take down a fraternity of killers. As always, Dexter's family and colleagues get closer and closer to his dark secret.

All 13 episodes of season 5 are included in this 4 disc set. All of the episodes are great and extremely compelling. Season 5 is one of the best Dexter seasons yet.

The only bad thing about the DVD set is that there are almost no special features. The only on disc special features are the first two episodes of both The Borgias and Episodes. Using Showtime's e-Bridge technology there are interviews with most of the cast including Michael C. Hall, Julia Stiles, Jennifer Carpenter, James Remar, and David Zayas. Also, there is a special on Julia Stiles' reflection of the series.

These features sound great, but it's very disappointing that they are not on the actual DVD. I would rather have the Dexter special features available on the last disc and the other show episodes offered via e-Bridge.

All in all, it was a very gripping season and will make an excellent addition to any Dexter fan's collection.

I give the Dexter Season 5 DVD a 7 out of 10 Blood Slides!
