Dexter (2006-2013) revolutionized television by making audiences root for a serial killer, with Michael C. Hall's portrayal of Dexter Morgan—a Miami forensic blood spatter analyst who moonlights as a vigilante murderer—becoming one of the most complex antiheroes in TV history. Based on Jeff Lindsay's novel Darkly Dreaming Dexter, the show's genius lay in its "Dark Passenger" concept and the "Code of Harry," rules that allowed viewers to morally justify following a character who dismembers victims on his boat. The show's opening credits—featuring extreme close-ups of Dexter's morning routine made to look disturbingly violent—won an Emmy and set the tone for a series that blurred the line between mundane domesticity and horrific violence. Running for eight seasons on Showtime with a revival in 2022, Dexter proved that prestige horror television could sustain massive audiences while exploring deeply uncomfortable questions about morality and justice.
