DEXTER

Anyone who personally knows me, knows that I am a huge fan of Dexter!  The seventh season Emmy award winning show returns on Sunday September 30.  It has already been announced that there will be only one more season after this one.  This show will certainly withstand the hands of time.  Watch this show 5-10 years from now, and it will still be spectacular!  (Slight spoiler ahead.  Nothing major though if you have yet to watch this show.)

Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall) is a forensic scientist who works for the Miami Metro Police Department.  However, he is also a serial killer – but not just your typical serial killer.  Dexter only kills people that deserve to die such as: pedophiles, murderers, and rapists.  Dexter does not only kill these people, but he makes his killing experience a ritual.  He generally begins each ritual by collecting a small sample of their blood, so he can add it to the collection he keeps in a wooden box to remind himself of all the horrific people he has made disappear from the world.   

As a two year-old witnessing the murder of his mother, you could say that Dexter was born in blood.  Adopted by the officer who found him covered in a pool of his mother’s blood, Harry Morgan raises Dexter along with his biological daughter Debra.  Harry even favors Dexter over his own flesh and blood.  It is not known whether Dexter would have been a serial killer with or without the guardianship of Harry. 

Under Harry’s parenting, both Dexter and Deb follow Harry’s legacy in working for the Miami Metro Police Department.  Both Dexter and Deb are respected highly for the work they do.  Deb is a great cop, while Dexter is an amazing blood splatter analyst.  It is just that everyone knows about Debra, but do they know who Dexter Morgan really is?  Will they finally find out about Dexter’s “dark passenger” or will his secret stay safe?  Either way, season 7 should be a thriller!
