This collector's box set serves up every episode from the eight seasons of the Showtime crime drama Dexter, which starred Michael C. Hall as a serial killer who attempts to stay out of jail by only hunting and killing other murderers.
First up, the series is fantastic with excellent story lines and plots. The quality of the Blu-ray transfer is top notch with superb sound. I agree with most fans the first 4 seasons are the finest in the series; however, as far as the final 4 seasons go they are well ahead or just as good as any of the top notch series being aired during the initial run of the series. My only 2 issues are first, that the blood slide case is not made of wood and could possibly be damaged if not kept under careful care. Second, for those who do not have BD Live, they will not be able to enjoy the extras from each season. However, there is an excellent disk filled with extra goodies which is top notch. Aside from these 2 issues, it is not enough to rate this below 4 stars as it is the series itself and the excellent transfer to Blu-ray that maintains my overall rating review. If you like Dexter, buy and enjoy.
My Best Buy number: 2212267547
What's great about it: Highly Entertaining Crime Series
What's not so great: Quality of the Blood Slide Box
The set is very well packaged and contains an excellent book with Ann and Nancy's comments on all of the songs. The sound quality is astonishing througout all of the CDS most especially on the already released material from Little Queen, Dog and Butterfly, Bebe Le Strange and the self-titled Heart albums. I have never heard such detail in Bebe Le Strange and Even it Up as they are presented on this set. Keep in mind with the high resolution you can hear the limitations of the source material on the some of the previously unreleased tracks; however, the music and vocal work is fantastic for those who love the band. My only gripe is not having a breakdown of the musicians on each of the tracks. The big bonus is the concert DVD which catches the band in their prime. If you love Heart you will love this set.
