Dexter is an American crime drama television series that aired on Showtime from October 1, 2006, to September 22, 2013. Set in Miami, the series centers on Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall), a forensic technician specializing in blood spatter analysis for the fictional Miami Metro Police Department, who leads a secret parallel life as a vigilante serial killer, hunting down murderers inadequately punished by the justice system due to corruption or legal technicalities. The show's first season was derived from the novel Darkly Dreaming Dexter (2004), the first in a series of novels by Jeff Lindsay. It was adapted for television by James Manos Jr., who wrote the first episode.

What is your review of Dexter (TV series)?
★★★★★
It is very hard for a Dexter fan to explain what he likes most in this gripping series. This is just my attempt to count some of the reasons why I preferred the blood spatter analyst aka moonlight serial killer over my sleep.
Some may say thrill is the reason to watch it, but unlike other tv series (Prison break, Vampire dairies etc.) they do not create suspense toward the end of series. Dexter mostly end the episode on a happy note but still can cause shivering in your spine.
It has a story of vigilante which can thrill you if you are their great fan (I will highly recommend it for Batman fans).
The Dialogues of the series are well edited and Michael justify them by excellent dialogue delivery.
The episodes are fine work of art and will give you glimpse of Nolan's work especially the sixth season.
Brilliant star cast Michael C Hall, and Exorcism of Emily rose star Jennifer Carpenter do not needs introduction even the rest of the crew has done brilliant job especially Masuka in his comic role.
The series is built in the way that you will find yourself attached to Dexter. Even some of you will find the Dark passenger in you (you will understand term dark passenger on watching the series)
Dexter is portrayed as emotionless person but still the series has emotional scenes regarding father-son, brother-sister, husband-wife relations involving Dexter in each but don't worry they won't make you cry.
Watching Dexter on his hunt or in his lab will show you classic Sherlock especially when he explains the murder by just watching the spatter of blood.
Background score is the another charm.
Last but not the least, you may find the sensuous scenes redundant because you are so involved in the story they seem distracting (you may be smiling now but it is true).
Hope I have given you enough reasons to watch the series.
THANK YOU 👍🏻 😊
