The third season of Dexter was released on DVD late last month, and I got a chance to take a look at it. This release actually comes at a very good time, as the fourth season doesn’t start until September 27, giving anyone plenty of time to catch up who hasn’t done so already.
When you think about it, if you’re paying for a cable network just for one show, like Dexter, your money’s probably better spent waiting for the show on DVD and then having it to own. But then there’s the whole bothersome thing called “spoilers,” and how you have to resort to living in a cave and disconnected from the Internet to avoid them.
What’s strange about this DVD set is how the special features are delivered, though. There aren’t any episodes with commentary, which is a real bummer, so everything “extra” resides on the final, fourth disc, along with the season finale. The special features consist of some special offers, preview episodes of Showtime’s other shows — The Tudors and Californication — and some cast interviews. The thing is, none of these are on the actual disc!
If you’re only interested in grabbing the set for the extra features, I’m going to save you some dough, because you can access them all via a simple web link that’s provided on the disc. Nowhere does it say that anyone’s not allowed to simply share that link with friends, so here it is. What I really don’t like about this is that the interviews might go away some day, so generations who may pick up these DVDs will miss out on them, should the website go away.
Still, the set is a must have for anyone catching up and a nice-to-have for fans who’ve already seen the season.

You realise of course that you can’t access the site unlesss you have the original disc… I hoped, I tried, I failed.
