5 Great TV Shows On DVD To Get You Hooked: #4

Looking for something great to get into while the writers’ strike is going on and all your TV is off the air? Below is one of five shows that you can get into in the meantime.

Dexter

Dexter Season One

Michael C. Hall of “Six Feet Under” is one of the few actors to find a role on a subsequent show that was impossibly better than his previous one. This show is a wondrous crime drama about a forensic expert who moonlights as a serial killer. Set in Miami, this show is truly a fantastic, one-of-a-kind series. This is one of the only shows nowadays that truthfully leaves me on the edge of my seat at the conclusion of each episode.

When you should be hooked: Midway through the pilot. Don’t worry if you’re not, give it a few more episodes.
How long you should keep watching: The second season went a bit downhill towards the end, but it is still easily one of the best shows on television. Season three should be coming back next year, and you’re going to want to tune in for that.
How you can get access to the show: The first season is available on DVD, and the second one should be airing in repeats on Showtime and out on DVD sometime in the near future.
Other shows you might like: The Shield, Six Feet Under, Brotherhood
