These series can also be found on Movie Central HD and on Movie Central On Demand. (The following programming is available in Eastern Canada on The Movie Network). DEXTER SEASON 2 Drama Showtime's critically-acclaimed series Dexter returns for another season of suspense. Based on Jeff Lindsay's novel Darkly Dreaming Dexter, the series follows Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall), a forensic investigator for the Miami Police Department, who takes the law into his own hands by killing the criminal and morally bankrupt who are above the law or who have slipped through the cracks of justice. Dexter's determination to right the wrongs of society is admirable despite his questionable rationalization and unusual work method. After being named one of the best shows of 2006 by the American Film Institute and receiving both Golden Globe® and SAG® Award nominations for Hall, the new season is full of surprises. Joining the cast is award-winning actor Keith Carradine (Deadwood) as Lt. Frank Lundy, Special Agent for the FBI, who is brought on board to investigate a gruesome find of dead bodies in Miami.
