Dexter
Season Eight
Michael C. Hall stars as Dexter Morgan, a man who leads a double life as an incredibly likeable forensics expert for the Miami Police Department and as an emotionless vigilante serial killer.
Taught by his foster father to harness his lust for blood and killing, Dexter lives by his own strict moral code — he only kills murderers who can't otherwise be brought to justice.
Based on a character created by Jeff Lindsay, this final season of the series originally aired on Showtime during Summer 2013.
Also being released this week, Dexter: The Complete Series, all 8 seasons, exclusive art book and a bonus disc of killer special features in a collectible slide box inspired by the one Dexter himself uses on the show to catalog his kills.

The Mod Squad
The Complete Collection
This late 1960s/early 1970s crime drama is centered on three hipper-than-hip undercover cops with a touch of menace and plenty of attitude.
Younger looking than they were, these three police officers — Michael Cole as Pete Cochran, a weathly white guy with a record; Clarence Williams III as Linc Hayes, a black man from Watts; and Peggy Lipton as Julie Barnes, a runaway living on the streets. — were able to earn the confidence of the bad guys, infiltrate their domain, and then bust their backsides while still looking good.
Five seasons of the series aired on ABC from September 1968 through March 1973.
