Manufacturer Description

The Showtime Authentic Series DEXTER™ is back again with an all-new year, and this time America's favorite serial killer has gone from freewheeling bachelor to accountable husband and doting father. Keeping an average-man facade while gratifying his require to kill has never been easy. But now, with spouse and youngsters in tow, Dexter's received far more to eliminate then ever before, as he will get drawn into a deadly recreation with a killer each bit as harmful — and conflicted — as he is.

Unfolding with tragic inevitability, Dexter's fourth year is a taut recreation of cat and mouse amongst Dexter (Emmy nominee Michael C. Hall) and Arthur Mitchell, "a quite specific type of monster," unnervingly portrayed by John Lithgow in his Emmy and Golden World-winning overall performance. Whoever guest stars in seasons to arrive has a quite hard act to stick to. (Never ever head all the blood, Mitchell's greeting, "Hello, Dexter Morgan," from the episode of the same title, will disturb your snooze.) But let us not forget Hall's constantly reducing-edge perform. The Dexter saga has a abundant back again-story and mythology, but for individuals new to the series and lured to this year by Lithgow's justly celebrated overall performance, year four is a good place to begin, since it represents some thing of a new beginning for Dexter himself. Married at the stop of year 3, he is now dreaming of "acquiring it all" as a husband and father, attempting to juggle the demands of his work as a Miami Metro Police Division blood-spatter analyst, his new family, and his other calling as a serial killer. But he is far more conflicted than ever before. His new infant keeps him up nights, and the typically specific and methodical Dexter finds himself exhausted to the level of making mistakes in court. "Who knew existence could get so unsimple?" he asks early on. Dexter and Mitchell are not the only characters harboring tricks. Some we can point out (Lieutenant Maria LaGuerta and Detective Angel Batista are in a romantic relationship), but other folks we dare not even hint at (the episode "Hungry Man" has a doozy of a cliffhanger revelation). As the year unfolds, an incognito Dexter insinuates himself into Arthur's existence and discovers disturbing parallels in their lives. Meanwhile, now-retired serial killer hunter Frank Lundy (Keith Carradine), who virtually uncovered Dexter's identity back again in year 2, returns to ask for his aid in catching the Trinity Killer. His reappearance upends the existence of Dexter's sister Debra (Jennifer Carpenter), a homicide detective and Lundy's previous lover. Debra has also been digging into the past of her late policeman father Harry (James Remar) and learns far more about her twisted family tree. Disappointingly, interviews with Hall, Lithgow, and other cast members can be accessed only on a Laptop, but the DVD does include episodes of Californication, Lock 'N Load, and The Tudors. --Donald Liebenson
