Dexter (Season 7) (Blu-ray Review)

Rated: UR/Region: A/1:85/1080p/Number of disc: 3
Available from Showtime Entertainment
DEXTER returns to DVD and Blu-ray in explosive fashion with Season 7, as Dexter is finally forced to confront his greatest fear, as Debra witnesses his insatiable, ritualistic slaying of a killer. Now Deb knows the secret of his Dark Passenger, his undeniable thirst for blood, and the Code that their father Harry instilled in him as a young boy. But as Deb tries to reconcile the unfathomable idea that her beloved, mild-mannered brother is Miami’s most notorious serial killer, Dexter is still pulled by his natural impulses to seek out the guilty and exact his brand of vigilante justice.
Dexter is back for the 7th season and some might say it is the strongest season in a very long time. The walls are certainly seeming to close in closer and closer on everyone’s favorite serial killer as we witness all the blood and madness in 12 episodes that are spread across three discs. The drama is here, the tension is here, and we certainly have all the blood we could ask for as well. If you’ve loved the series up to this point you certainly won’t be let down by what you get.
As the show moved along this season, Dexter, goes closer and closer to the point of no-return. This gives us an awesome finale that sets us up for the final season (Season 8) perfectly. The series holds up strong with way more hits than misses in the episodes and the HD transfer is perfectly fine and really stands out in a few key areas. Good acting, good tension, good show all-around.
