A Little Bit About Dexter

Showtime's Dark Comedy

The hit Showtime Original series, Dexter features Michael C. Hall as a serial killer who works for the Miami Metro Police Department. The series follows the day to day events of Dexter Morgan's life, a forensic blood spatter analyst, who also happens to be a serial killer in his free time. Dexter structures his killing around "The Code of Harry", a body of ethics and procedures devised by his adoptive father Harry (who was a Miami cop) to make sure Dexter never gets caught and ensure that Dexter kills only other killers. Harry also trained Dexter in how to interact with other people despite being a psychopath. Dexter has largely escaped suspicion, though with some exceptions, by being genial and generous and maintaining generally superficial relationships. However, his attachment to his sister Deb, his significant other Rita, his stepchildren and, later, his son have all complicated his double life and made him question his need to kill.

Season 1's plot was adapted from the first novel in Jeff Lindsay's "Dexter" series, Darkly Dreaming Dexter. Subsequent seasons have featured original storylines.
