Dexter

Dexter is an American crime drama mystery, it forms around a forensic blood splatter analyst for Miami Police Department. His name is Dexter and is played by Michael C. Hall, the character is brilliantly played as the character has a hidden life behind his normal police work with Miami PD. He had a very unique upbringing and this has shaped him into a serial killer, but the catch is he only kills those who meet a certain criteria usually working around his job as when guilty people somehow get let off the hook with lack of evidence he will devise a plan to make sure they pay for what they have done. within the show he refers to his other side as his "Dark Passenger" and even with this name you can see how gripping and interesting the show is from the start. The show was created from the novel's written by Jeff Lindsay.  8 seasons have been released so far for Dexter but it could be possible for a comeback if certain actors are met, a lot of long time fans were disappointed with the finale and would have preferred if it was done differently.

Dexter Cast Mid Seasons

Dexter pulls you in from the start and make you really love his character as he is innocent in everyone's eyes within the show which is an excellent cover from his secret life. His "Dark Passenger" must follow a code of honour otherwise he will not be able to make the kill.  He has to find a balance between his normal life and keeping his cover and his hidden life which become difficulty with his over attached sister who also works at Miami PD. Throughout the first season you get a feel for the characters and the sort of high end CSI scenes that are always exciting where they are looking after normal criminals and Dexter is helping with his analyst skillset.

Dexter's Playful Side

From a Marketing view on the show, Fox TV used a very unique and bold campaign when they brought it to the UK - Text messages were sent to the potential viewers and were given a personalised Dexter experience as they were sent emails with videos etc. within them and this was all linked to what's in the show! Unfortunately for Fox it was treated as spam although it was actually peoples friends and colleagues who would get these messages and emails sent to them through a website released for the show called - Ice Truck (Dexter). The campaign did raise some awareness on the show for Fox.

Major Twists

Throughout the show you start to learn about Dexter's mysterious past just as he learns it himself which is a constant thrill! You wont be able to watch just one episode of it you will find yourself watching the next and the next...

The main set of the show is constantly on the Police Department and how Dexter's life revolves around it, he doesn't have much of a personal life at the start except for hunting his prey and getting the kill. Throughout the show it has a small set of main characters which you begin to enjoy the part they play in the show, it is really gripping when Dexter is on the verge of being caught either from a stranger or from his own PD!

If you enjoy the gripping pace of crime drama shows then I would highly recommend this as it has just the right amount of edge of the seat drama!
