Dexter: The Sixth Season DVD Review

Rating: R16
Released by Universal Home Entertainment

Finally, the season where Dexter is found out.

Only not until the very end.

This latest season of Michael C Hall's avenging angel killer sees Dexter facing off against the Doomsday Killer and finding religion to be a big part of the overall puzzle as a series of murders with a religious theme unfold.

As ever though, Dexter, at its heart is about the inner conflict of the main character - a guy who wants to be good but whose methods see him skirt ever deeper into the darkness.

It's all a bit gruesome but it's still very watchable and enjoyable thanks to Michael C Hall's acting - but it's at a cost as it does occasionally feel like it's treading water. A very impressive cast fleshes out an occasionally uneven storyline throughout the season but it's the final moments where Dexter's caught killing by his own sister which offers up a tantalising taste of what lies ahead and makes you remember why this series was so good and original when it began back in 2006.
