He’s smart
He’s lovable. He’s Dexter Morgan, America’s favorite serial killer, who spends his days solving crimes and his nights committing them. During season 8, Angel Batista was not always played by David Zayas. His son David Zayas Jr.
Dexter Morgan: I lived in darkness for a long time
replaces his father in some shots, as the two look remarkably similar. Visible throughout the first season, Dexter has a large scar on his left side. Later, in season two, the scar moved to his right side, leaving his left side unmarked. Over the years, my eyes adjusted, until darkness became my world and I could see.

Main ThemeWritten by Rolfe KentPerformed by Rolfe Kent. After four episodes, I’m ready to proclaim this the best show on television right now, a show that might one day rank with The Sopranos and the first season of Twin Peaks as the second-best show of all time (after the incomparable Buffy the Vampire Slayer; one of the show’s producers and writers is former Buffy writer Drew Z. Greenberg, and the cast includes Buffy/Angel mainstay Julie Benz). Dexter is a sociopath, someone with no human feelings and therefore no natural, inner moral compass, and he has an unquenchable bloodlust that drives him to kill.
Another thing the show does brilliantly is move at different speeds in parallel
But he had the great grace of being the adopted child of a cop, who (as we see in some terrific flashbacks) managed to instill in him a complete moral code, to which he adheres on a strictly intellectual level. It’s a brilliant concept (which I suspect stems from the novels it’s based on), allowing the writers to explore the nature of moral behavior and what it means to be human (Dexter is, in a sense, an alien). There’s a main story arc that seems to last the entire season (concerning a cat-and-mouse game between Dexter and a serial killer), and a secondary arc involving Dexter’s sister’s police career. The first handful of episodes include a very powerful final arc involving one of Dexter’s fellow cops and a local crime lord, while two of the four episodes so far have also included a standalone story inserted between (and playing with) the ongoing stories.
The cast and production are terrific
I’ve seen the future of how TV seasons are structured, and this is it. While the writing isn’t quite up to the best of House , it’s excellent. The only reason you wouldn’t want to watch this absolutely brilliant series is the frequent use of extremely explicit imagery: there were probably more severed body parts shown in these first four episodes than in the first four episodes of every other TV series on the air combined. If you can stomach that, tune in for a fascinating look at what makes us human – or inhuman.
