 | | 9. Dexter-3rd Season Complete | | | Starring: Michael C. Hall | | Format: DVD Release Date: 8/18/2009 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 |  | Dexter: Season Three - DVD Review By: Chris Cabin - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 8/7/2009 7:48 PM | |
Heroes need their villains but not nearly as badly as anti-heroes do. The second season of Showtime's dark comedy Dexter, which follows the comings-and-goings of a forensic analyst who triples as serial killer and family man, floundered due to a noticeable lack of a real nemesis for its title character to tango with. They offered a few adversaries: Keith Carradine's suave FBI agent, Erik King's suspicious Sgt. Doakes, and Jaime Murray's seductive NA sponsor. None of these characters matched the protagonist's wits, however, and it left both Hall's hilariously congenial sociopath and the show in lukewarm territory. read the full review | |

Battlestar Galactica Season 4.0 | | | Starring: Katee Sackhoff Edward James Olmos | | Format: DVD Release Date: 1/6/2009 | User Rating: 4.5 | | Video Reviews Available: 1 |  | Battlestar Galactica: Season 4.0 - DVD Review By: Rafe Telsch - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 1/5/2009 8:42 PM | | Battlestar Galactica is a series that isn't afraid to change. While I'm not about to go into spoiler territory and openly admit how this half of the season ends, it's sufficient enough to say that it's a paradigm shift that overshadows the revelation of the hidden Cylons, the brewing civil war, and all other dynamic changes the series has undergone. read the full review | |

Mad Men Season 2 | | | Starring: John Slattery Christina Hendricks Director: Tim Hunter Alan Taylor | | Format: DVD Release Date: 7/14/2009 |  | Mad Men - Season 2 - DVD Review By: Tim Rainey - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 11/3/2009 5:12 PM | | We live in a digital age where every movie, television show, book, and video game are hyped up as much as possible. We’re bombarded with ads and praise for things that rarely deserve it. Hype’s a double-edged sword -- everyone wants their product to be known but too much hype can lead to higher expectations than the property can deliver on. AMC’s original show Mad Men has received such high acclaim and is one of the rare shows to truly earn it. But what is it about this show that draws in audiences and earns heaps of Emmy nominations? What is it exactly that makes this show tick? read the full review | |
