Dexter TV Programme

Newest Review: ... often causes you to question things about yourself and what you think of his actions. Dexter has conversations with his dead adoptive father, Harry, who has a 'code' for Dexter to follow so he does not get caught killing as Harry realised he carried this dark passenger from a young age. It's hard to describe these conversations as they are not really hallucinations or dreams but shows us what Dexter is thinking. It is also one of the few TV series that has a consistent voice over from the main character which is usually only done in films or series that are aimed at teenagers. However it works really well with Dexters emotionless voice ad... more

This is my first review of a tv/film/music so don't judge me too harshly but construstive cristism would be much appreciated! :) Dexter is my all time favourite series and I can't wait to see series 7 but unfortunately being in the UK I will have to keep up to date online! I really love this show because it's so different to all other crime shows, it's about serial killer who kills killers. (Oh, the irony!) I was quite late getting into Dexter and started watched the repeats on FX in the lead up to the Series 4 premiere. Each series focuses on a different theme or emotion and gives Dexter something new to deal with such as love, family, revenge, ...  Read the complete review

The Dexter series of television shows started in America in October 2006 and is still going strong although Showtime who make the series has recently announced that series 8 is likely to be the last. The show is based on a series of books by Jeff Lindsey and follows the career of Dexter Morgan (played by Michael C Hall) who to the outside world is an upstanding citizen and blood spatter analyst for the Miami Homicide Team. Outside of work however he is a serial killer albeit one with a conscience in that he generally only kills those he considers of sufficiently bad nature mainly various types of criminal. Dexter also provides an occasional ...  Read the complete review

In October 2006 Showtime aired the first of what will be many series of Dexter, a fictional character from the novels created by Jeff Lindsey. Darkly Dreaming Dexter the first novel was publicised in 2004 then Dearly Devoted Dexter shortly followed in 2005. Following the production of these novels in 2006 the first TV series based on the first novel was released. Michael C Hall plays Dexter, Michael was at the time most known for his role as David Fisher in Six Feet Under. Dexter Morgan is a blood splatter analysis working for Miami Metro police. A very boring geeky job but this job plays a significant part in his extra curricular ...  Read the complete review

Dexter is Genius. (200 words)

If you dont like pitch-black humor and find the idea of a heroic serial killer disturbing, you will probably find this show a bit disturbing. If the idea of such a violent vigilante is tasteless to you, but you enjoyed watching The Dark Knight, then youre a hypocrite. Now that thats out of the way Dexter is a breath of fresh air in the doldrums of stagnating television. The subject matter is dark at its lightest, but the characters are so masterfully created that I found myself even caring about the ones that no one else in the setting liked. Dokes was a good example of this: jerk that openly insults everyone, but at the same time he cares deeply about his job and about  Read the complete review

Darkly Delicious Dexter (942 words)

I was dubious when my friend brought this to me one day I was suffering a whopping hangover. The first few episodes did nothing to pique my interest and I was well into the second disc before I realised I was hooked. Based on the book series which began with "Darkly Dreaming Dexter", Dexter Morgan is a blood splatter analyst working for Miami metro homicide. Dexter paints a cheery grin and a chirpy demeanour on his monkey-faced mug, but underneath the surface Dexter is very different. Very effective at disguising his true passion and wonderful at imitating emotion, Dexter is actually a serial killer. But due to his adoptive father's acceptance of his ...  Read the complete review
