[edit] Season 1
Orphaned at the age of three and harboring a traumatic secret, Dexter (Michael C!. Hall, Six Feet Under) was adopted by a Miami police officer named Harry Morgan (James Remar), who recognized his sociopathic tendencies and taught him to channel his gruesome passion for killing and dissecting in a "constructive" way: by killing people who "deserve it"!. Most have slipped through the justice system, due to loopholes and technicalities in the law or were never apprehended!.

To satisfy his interest in blood and to ease his own crimes, Dexter works as a blood spatter analyst for the Miami Metro Police Department!. Although his drive to kill is unflinching (otherwise overcome by a feeling of "emptiness") Dexter is, through extensive instruction from Harry, able to fake normal emotions and keep up his appearance as a socially responsible human being!. Lots of flashbacks throughout the series show how Harry instructs Dexter on the art of appearing normal, and he follows Harry's instructions as a sacred "Code of Harry!." In accordance with this code, all of Dexter's victims must be killers themselves who have killed multiple times with no remorse, and Dexter must have proof that they are definitely guilty before he takes action!. Consequently, Dexter has a girlfriend, Rita (Julie Benz), a psychologically damaged woman who is too freaked out by her previous husband, a violent felon, to want sex!. Dexter also has no interest in sex, so Rita is perfect for him!. Dexter dates her and hangs out with her in order to appear normal!. In the process, he does seem to have some genuine affection for her and the children!.

The first season focuses mostly on "The Ice Truck Killer" — a serial killer eluding the Miami PD who is communicating with Dexter through his crime scenes!. Dexter's adoptive sister Debra (Jennifer Carpenter) begins dating Rudy, who is revealed to the audience to be the Ice Truck Killer!. At the end of the season Rudy attempts to kill Debra, but is stopped by Dexter!. Rudy reveals that he is Dexter's brother!. Dexter has no choice but to kill him in order to save Debra; he makes Rudy's death look like a suicide!.

Dexter uses his calculated charm to become well-liked by all of his colleagues, with the exception of Sgt!. James Doakes (Erik King), who repeatedly calls him a freak and openly accuses him of being up to something, although he is never sure what it is exactly!. The tension between the two is an ongoing plot motif!.

Doakes senses a connection between Dexter and the Ice Truck Killer but is not sure what it is!. He starts tailing Dexter because of his personal suspicions!. Rita's ex-husband, set up by Dexter for a felony parole violation, is back in prison proclaiming his innocence, and points Rita to a clue to the truth about Dexter!. The season ends with Dexter and his sister entering a crime scene, with Dexter imagining a tickertape parade for himself, complete with confetti and airplane fly-over, and the crowd praising him for his fine work "taking out the garbage" (i!.e!. killing those who prey on the weak and vulnerable!.)

The complete first season of Dexter was released in a four-disc DVD package on August 21, 2007 in the US!.


[edit] Season 2
Dexter begins the season unable to satisfy his urges for over a month due to the constant surveillance of Sgt!. Doakes!. When the opportunity to kill arises, he has problems executing his victims!.

To further complicate matters, treasure hunters discover Dexter’s underwater dumping ground for his victims!. As the police extract body after body from the ocean, the media dubs the killer the "Bay Harbor Butcher", and FBI Special Agent Lundy (played by Keith Carradine) is brought in to catch the "Butcher"!.

A cult following begins to form behind the "Butcher" when it is discovered that his victims were themselves responsible for deaths!.[2] Dexter even finds that a comic-book character, "The Dark Defender", was created in his honor!.

Rita’s relationship with Dexter becomes more tense as she and her children are dealing with the death of her ex-husband Paul in a prison fight!. Paul's suggestion that Dexter was to blame for his imprisonment eats at Rita's conscience and eventually Rita accuses Dexter of setting up her ex-husband!. Dexter admits to setting up Paul, but Rita refuses to believe that Dexter premeditated the crime!. She assumes that Dexter is a heroin addict!. He acquiesces to being an "addict", though he characteristically allows her misinterpretation to go without clarification; in return, she vows to stay with him while he goes through the Narcotics Anonymous program!. In this way Dexter avoids responsibility for Paul's death (though he set the process in motion) and consequently maintains the rationalization that he only (directly) kills people who are also serial killers!. Doakes pursues Dexter until he spots him at a NA meeting, and his first assumption is that Dexter’s devious behavior is drug-related!.

Deb continues to struggle with the trauma of her experience with the Ice Truck Killer!. For a sense of safety and comfort, she stays with her brother, another new source of stress in Dexter's life!.

New cast members for this season include Jaime Murray as Lila, a (supposed) former meth addict, pyromaniac and artist who becomes Dexter’s sponsor and later on his lover,[3] Keith Carradine as FBI Special Agent Frank Lundy and JoBeth Williams as Rita's mother Gail!. The role of Rita's son has been re-cast!. Cody is now played by child actor Preston Bailey!.

Season 2 premiered on September 30, 2007!. On July 17 the first two episodes of the season were leaked on the internet, and on December 4 the last two episodes were also leaked!.[4] On November 4th, 2007, the Writer’s Guild of America started a strike, but writer Daniel Cerone stated in the LA Times that Season 2 had already been completed in anticipation of the WGA’s action!.[5]

Throughout Season 2, the Bay Harbor Butcher (Dexter) is pursued by Special Agent Lundy, while Deb's affection for Lundy and her confidence in her own detective skills both grow!. Doakes returns to pursuing his suspicions about Dexter, and ultimately discovers Dexter's collection of glass slides, containing blood sample souvenirs from all of his victims!. The possibility of matching the slides hidden in Dexter's air conditioner with the bodies of the Butcher's victims sets up a climactic process in which Doakes confronts Dexter!. However, Dexter overpowers him and keeps him locked in a cage, while he sets up Doakes as the Butcher!. Lieutenant LaGuerta, Doakes' former partner, is the only one who believes in Doakes' innocence!. She finds evidence of Doakes' innocence and takes it to Lundy, but he tells her that the evidence is tainted by her previous failure to report Doakes' telephone call to her to the investigation team!. He therefore rejects the file of records, though he believes she may be right!.

In the season finale, Lila causes an explosion at the Cabin where Dexter imprisoned Doakes, blowing up both Doakes and the corpse of one of Dexter's victims, thereby saving Dexter from discovery!. Lila then meets with Dexter, expecting him to finally accept her love now that she knows his secret!. But when she catches him preparing to kill her, she seeks revenge by trying to kill Rita's children and Dexter!. Dexter manages to save the children and escape, and then gets his own revenge on her after she has fled to Paris!. In the closing scenes, Doakes' memorial service goes largely unattended, with the exception of LaGuerta, Dexter, and Doakes' immediate family!. Expressing the logic of Dexter's mental world, the final words in the series are a voice-over of his thoughts on the recent events!. We hear that he now considers himself the master of the techniques his father taught him!. Dexter believes this combined with the fact that Harry knew himself to be wrong about the code gives Dexter the right to rewrite that code and to live his life the way he wishes!. He also states that he now needs those relationships that he originally cultivated as disguises in order to fit into society, even though they make him vulnerable!. He considers himself "An idea transcended into life"!.

The complete second season is slated for release on August 19th, 2008!.


[edit] Season 3
A third season of Dexter was announced following the season two finale, in which an ad ran assuring Dexter would return in 2008!. Season three will premiere September 28, 2008 on Showtime!.[6] Jimmy Smits has signed on to the season 3 cast!. He will play Miguel Prado, an assistant district attorney who will work with Dexter to pursue a murderer who has affected both of their lives!. [7]


[edit] U!.S!. broadcast controversy
When CBS announced in December 2007 it was considering Dexter for broadcast over the public airwaves, Parents Television Council (PTC), publicly protested the decision!.[8][9]

In preparation for the broadcast premiere of Dexter on CBS, on January 29, 2008 the network posted promotional videos on YouTube!.[10] The next day, the PTC for a second time called upon CBS to withdraw plans to broadcast the show!. PTC President Timothy F!. Winter issued a news release stating "We are formally asking CBS to cancel its plan to air the first season of Dexter on its television network!. This show is not suitable for airing on broadcast television; it should remain on a premium subscription cable network!. The biggest problem with the series is something that no amount of editing can get around: the series compels viewers to empathize with a serial killer, to rWww@Enter-QA@Com
