Tale
He’s smart
He’s lovable. This is 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
stands in for his father in some shots, as the two look remarkably alike. Dexter’s left side is visible throughout the first season. Later, in the second season, the scar has moved to his right side, leaving the left side intact.
Appeared at the 64th Annual Golden Globe Awards (2007)
Dexter Morgan: I lived in the dark for a long time. Over the years, my eyes have adjusted until the darkness is my world and I can see… Main Theme Written by Rolfe Kent Performed by Rolfe Kent.
Dexter creates a believable and very detailed portrait of, let’s say, a struggling sociopath
Dexter, a forensic scientist by day, a serial killer with a touch of vigilantism by night. One of my favorite parts of the show is the emotions that normal people display, forcing Dexter to mimic them. It’s a good laugh when Dexter’s fake emotions become real and he’s scared, like in his relationship with his «girlfriend.» Rita, a mother of two and a victim of her abusive ex-boyfriend.
I also liked Jennifer Carpenter’s performance as Dexter’s sister Debra
It adds a nice touch to the show without falling into clichés. A gripping story, lots of detail, and one of the best opening episodes of all time.
