Introducing Dexter to those unversed
Dexter is an American psychological thriller that aired on Showtime between October 1, 2006, and September 22, 2013. Set in Miami, the franchise chronicles the life of Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall), who lives a double life: a forensic scientist by day and a serial killer by night. He, however, only targets those who have not been adequately punished by the justice system due to corruption or legal loopholes.
The show earned Hall and John Lithgow (Arthur Mitchell) one Golden Globe each.
The original Dexter series has been climbing the Nielsen charts for the past couple of months. In the week of June 24, it was at No. 2 on the Top 10 chart, just behind Showtime’s Your Honor. It beat top shows like The Bear, The Boys, and Bridgerton to achieve the feat.
