- Season 2 Complete ((exclusive)): Dexter

Is Dexter Season 2 perfect? Nearly. The Lila subplot drags slightly in the middle episodes, and the finale’s reliance on a "deus ex machina" (a certain serial killer’s escape) feels convenient. However, for sheer emotional torment and narrative economy, no other season of Dexter comes close.

Sergeant James Doakes, the only colleague who "sees" through Dexter, begins obsessively stalking him. Doakes eventually discovers Dexter’s blood slides and follows him to a remote cabin, where Dexter manages to overpower and imprison him. This creates a moral crisis for Dexter, as Doakes does not fit "Harry's Code" of only killing murderers. Dexter - Season 2 Complete
