History
Dexter is an American television drama series. The series centers on Dexter
Morgan (Michael C. Hall), a blood spatter pattern analyst for Miami Metro Police
Department who also leads a secret life as a serial killer, hunting down criminals
who have slipped through the cracks of the justice system. Set in Miami, the
show's first season derived from the novel Darkly Dreaming Dexter (2004), the
first of the Dexter series novels by Jeff Lindsay. It was adapted for television by
screenwriter James Manos, Jr., who wrote the first episode. Subsequent
seasons evolved independently of Lindsay's works.
Dexter aired on Showtime from October 1, 2006, to September 22, 2013. In
February 2008, reruns (edited down to a TV-14 rating) began to air on CBS,
although the reruns on CBS ended after one run of the first season. The series
has enjoyed wide critical acclaim and popularity, including four straight
Primetime Emmy nominations for Best Drama series in its first four seasons.
Season 4 aired its season finale on December 13, 2009, to a record-breaking
audience of 2.6 million viewers, making it the most-watched original series
episode ever on Showtime at that time.
