Dexter: Season 1 (2007)

EW's GRADE
B

Details Release Date: Aug 21, 2007; DVD Release Date: Aug 21, 2007; With: Michael C. Hall

Death does become him. Six Feet Under star Michael C. Hall's turn as blood-spatter specialist Dexter Morgan — who's also a serial killer programmed to knock off only bad guys — provides one of the small screen's most appealing antiheroes. EXTRAS The creators were disappointed that Dexter's violence didn't rankle viewers. Notes producer Daniel Cerone: ''We expected a lot more controversy out of this show.'' A four-disc set with lame bonus features (two episodes of fellow Showtime series Brotherhood?!) and no sign of Hall? That's one way to stir up controversy. B
