TV show description:
Nice guy Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall) works for the Miami Metro Police Department as a blood spatter analyst.
In his time off, he also happens to be a serial killer. His adoptive police detective father, Harry Morgan (James Remar), recognized his sociopath tendencies as a child and taught him to channel his passion for killing into eliminating only heinous criminals who’ve slipped through the justice system. Harry also teaches him to mask his emotional emptiness so that he can appear normal.
As an adult, it becomes harder and harder for Dexter to keep his secrets hidden from his single-mother girlfriend Rita Bennett (Julie Benz), and his police department co-workers like no-nonsense Lieutenant Maria LaGuerta (Lauren Vélez), aggressive Sergeant James Doakes (Erik King), friendly homicide detective Angel Batista (David Zayas), quirky lab-tech Vince Masuka (C. S. Lee), and Harry’s natural daughter, Debra (Jennifer Carpenter).

Dexter is why I got Showtime. I might have to let it go if they don’t have something else coming down the pipe.
I have enjoyed the 7 seasons to date , and read several of the books . If they do not kill or forever incarcerate Dexter a big screen rendering might be in the offing . There is only so much growth that a sociopath like Dexter can experience , and the angst of Deb knowing his true nature has barely been explored this past season and the final upcoming 8th . Kinda looking forward to Michael C. Hall in the comedy in which he will portray the brother in a dysfunctional family . It has been teased on Showtime , but I do not recall a series start date . Farewell Dex . May you someday come to terms with your Dark Passenger even if only in death .
My wife and I just recently in the last three seasons caught on to the addictive personality that Dexter Morgan seems to have. We to have been watchers of Showtimes rival network (HBO ) programs like Deadwood up until it’s VERY UPSETTING abrupt ending with no real ending to speak of,And that alone was almost enough to give us reason to cut HBO”S throat,and just leave it for good because we were DIE HARD DEADWOOD fans. But when TRUE BLOOD was officially birthed we began watching it and were immediately, However I am so so thankful for the trusty DVR because fro reasons unknown all the best stuff is aired on Sunday night. I fear that if we don’t hit these season finally’s soon our DVD is going to overheat and burn to the ground. Why they don’t put radiators on the damn things I don’t know because on Sunday night ours cranks up at 8:00 pm and don’t get to cool down until early Monday morning. I have GOT to say if I were a serial killer Dexter Morgan would be my hero because he does it so very well. I don’t know when this series is supposed to come to it’s end,But I can honestly say that that night will sit right up there with the one and only season finally that I can honestly say brought tears to my eyes just because I had watched it from birth,And knew that it was really really over,And that was the ( FX ) series The Shield. I can honestly say that The Shield was why I put satelite TV in my house,And Tuesday nights at my house every one that knows me knew NOT to call or stop by between the hours of 10:00 and 11:00pm. My wife and I watched The Shield EVERY Tuesday night,Just like we watch Dexter, Boardwalk Empire,and the Walking Dead although it is a new program. But has been adopted by AMC for two full seasons now which I think will be great. But The matter at hand is Dexter Morgan,And I very well plan to stay true to Dexter just as he has stayed true to his second job,which is being Miami’s Serial killer.
