Swag Tuesday

Courtesy of Showtime, this week's Swag Tuesday haul is the 4-disc box set of the first season of Dexter, their critically raved and deeply strange series about a police detective who moonlights as a serial killer.

Dexter is based on the compelling novel "Darkly Dreaming Dexter" by Jeff Lindsay. Orphaned at the age of four and harboring a traumatic secret, Dexter Morgan (Dexter Morgan, Emmy® and Golden Globe® nominated actor Michael C. Hall from "Six Feet Under") is adopted by a police officer who recognizes Dexter's homicidal tendencies and guides his son to channel his gruesome passion for human vivisection in a constructive way - by killing those heinous perpetrators that are above the law or who have slipped through the cracks of justice. A respected member of the police force, a perfect gentleman and a man with a soft spot for children, it's hard not to like Dexter. Although his drive to kill is unflinching, he struggles to emulate normal emotions he doesn't feel, and to keep up his appearance as a caring, socially responsible human being.

Included in Showtime's prize package is a copy of Jeff Lindsay's novel, Dearly Devoted Dexter and a Dexter t-shirt. You can catch up on the first season by downloading episodes from any of Showtime's online partners, including iTunes. The first season box set of Dexter is available now. The second season of Dexter begins on Showtime on September 30th.
