Just started watching the second season, and yeah, fantastic show. I am still such a huge SFU fan that I put off watching it at first because I had time believing MCH could be as good in this show as he was in SFU, and while he probably isn't, it's still a very good show. Great premise, well directed.
My only beef is with some of the supporting characters. Mazuka (like somebody mentioned) is great, but Dexter's sister, the black cop who's out to get Dex, and his former partner (the Haitian lady/ex-department chief) have all had acting moments that were less than stellar. Especially the sister character. Maybe they blew the budget signing MCH. I dunno.
But the story makes up for it. Dexter's ever-evolving conflicted lifestyle, his private life as a killer, the Ice Truck killer (S1) and Bay Harbor butcher (S2) season-long storylines are awesome. Recommended viewing if you don't mind a little gore.
