Plot

Main article: List of Dexter episodes

The introduction to each episode of the Showtime television series Dexter is a sequence of close-up shots that portray the morning routine of Dexter Morgan (played by Michael C. Hall) in a manner reminiscent of American Psycho. ...

Season 1

Orphaned at the age of three and harboring a traumatic secret, Dexter (Michael C. Hall) was adopted by a Miami police officer named Harry Morgan who recognized his sociopathic tendencies and taught him to channel his gruesome passion for killing and dissecting in a “constructive” way: by killing only heinous criminals (such as mob assassins and serial killers of the innocent) who have slipped through the justice system. To satisfy his interest in blood and to facilitate his own crimes, Dexter works as a blood spatter analyst for the Miami police. 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. He is well-liked by most of his colleagues (with the exception of Sgt. James Doakes), his girlfriend, and her children. The complete season one of Dexter was released in a 4 disc DVD package on August 21, 2007.

Season 2

This season is not based on a Lindsay novel in the Dexter series. However, it does borrow a few plot points from the second Dexter novel, Dearly Devoted Dexter. Jeff Lindsay is the pen name of an American crime writer, who lives in south Florida with his wife, author Hilary Hemingway, Ernest Hemingways niece. ... Dearly Devoted Dexter is a 2005 novel written by Jeff Lindsay. ...

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, something he attributes to the final events of the previous season.

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”. A cult following begins to form behind the “Butcher” when it’s discovered who his victims are.^[3]

Rita’s relationship with Dexter becomes more tense as she and her children are dealing with the death of her ex-husband Paul, the result of a prison fight. Her late ex-husband’s suggestion that Dexter was to blame for his imprisonment eats at her 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 the double entendre to go without clarification; in return, she vows to stay with him while he goes through Narcotics Anonymous. Doakes pursues Dexter until he spots him at a NA meeting, and his first assumption is that Dexter’s devious behavior is drug-related. For other uses, see Heroin (disambiguation). ... A double entendre is a figure of speech similar to the pun, in which a spoken phrase can be understood in either of two ways. ...

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 include Keith Carradine as FBI Special Agent Lundy, and Jaime Murray as Lila, an ex-Meth junkie artist who becomes Dexter’s sponsor.^[4] The role of Rita’s son Cody has now been re-cast with another child actor.

Season 2 premiered on September 30, 2007. On July 17 the first two episodes of the season were leaked on the internet, on December 4 the last two episodes have also been leaked on the internet.^[5] 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 has already been completed in anticipation of the WGA’s action.^[6]

Plot differences from the novel

There are numerous differences between the novel Darkly Dreaming Dexter and the Showtime series based on it; they range from extra subplots to rearrangements and modifications of elements from the source material. Darkly Dreaming Dexter is a 2004 novel by Jeff Lindsay. ...

The novel is narrated exclusively from Dexter’s point of view and focuses mostly on his pursuit of the “Tamiami Butcher” (renamed the “Ice Truck Killer” for the series). With the exception of adoptive sister Deborah and adoptive father Harry, much of the supporting cast (Doakes, Angel and LaGuerta) have minor roles in the novel. The TV series expands on their characters with subplots not present in the original, such as Angel’s rocky relationship with his ex-wife. In literature and storytelling, a point of view is the related experience of the narrator — not that of the author. ...

Another addition is the inclusion of Rita’s abusive ex-husband Paul. Although he is mentioned in the novel, he is never actually seen. In the show, he becomes a full-fledged supporting character who professes love for his children, but nevertheless still treats Rita violently.

The biggest change is the lead-up to and revelation of the identity of the Ice Truck Killer, called the Tamiami Killer in the book. In the novel, Dexter (and to a certain extent, the reader) is led to believe that Dexter himself might be the one committing the murders, due to a series of strange dreams that connect him to the murder; the possibility that Dexter’s “Dark Passenger” is committing crimes when Dexter is asleep is brought up. The final clue is a blurry photo, taken from surveillance footage, of a man who resembles Dexter at a crime scene. After the Tamiami Killer kidnaps Deborah, Dexter (who is followed by Detective LaGuerta) finds and confronts him. It is subsequently revealed that the killer is actually Dexter’s nearly identical long-lost brother, Brian, who, like Dexter, witnessed their mother’s brutal murder. In the ensuing conflict LaGuerta is slain by Brian, Deborah finds out her brother is a killer and Dexter helps Brian to escape, an act referenced in the next novel.^[7] As a morbid trophy, Dexter adds a drop of LaGuerta’s blood to his collection.

In the television series, Brian is introduced under the fake name ‘Rudy’, a prosthetist who becomes Deborah’s boyfriend, and his relationship to Dexter only revealed late in the first season. Here, Dexter hesitantly kills Brian instead of letting him escape, Deborah does not discover her brother’s secret and LaGuerta is not present at all in the confrontation. Furthermore, while in the novel Dexter and his brother are nearly identical, the actors playing the two characters are distinct from each other in their looks. A Prosthetist, as defined by The American Board for Certification in Orthotics, Prosthetics and Pedorthics, Inc. ...

Some of the characters have had their names changed. Detective LaGuerta is named Migdia in the novel and Maria in the show while Doakes’ first name is changed from Albert to James. Doakes’ first name is not revealed in the first novel, but in the sequel Dearly Devoted Dexter. Dearly Devoted Dexter is a 2005 novel written by Jeff Lindsay. ...

The character of Angel Batista is a lab tech in the books while in the television series he is a homicide detective.

The character of Vince Masuoka is Eurasian in the books and appears even less socially aware than Dexter is.

The character of Camilla Figg is a young lab tech infatuated with Dexter while in the television series, she is an older woman who once worked with Dexter’s father. She is the records supervisor and has a more maternal relationship with Dexter.

In the novel Darkly Dreaming Dexter, Dexter references his urge to kill as being controlled by a “Dark Passenger”, and when in his killer trances he tends to refer to himself as We or Us. In the first season, only one reference is made to this “Passenger”, as Dexter stands at the scene of Angel’s stabbing by Brian alias Rudy, an event absent in the book. In Season 2 episode 3, the writers finally explain Dexter’s urge to kill as his “Dark Passenger” and make multiple references to it throughout the episode.

UK Mobile Phone Issue

In preparation for the UK launch of the series, FX (UK) experimented with an SMS-based viral marketing campaign. Unsuspecting mobile phone owners received unsolicited SMS messages identified as being from “Dexter”, with no other identification or originating phone number. The SMS messages contain the following text, referring to the phone owner by name: FX is a British TV channel owned by Fox, launched in 2004 and originally branded as FX289 in reference to its Sky Digital EPG number. ... SMS redirects here. ... Viral marketing and viral advertising refer to marketing techniques that use pre-existing social networks to produce increases in brand awareness, through self-replicating viral processes, analogous to the spread of pathological and computer viruses. ...

"Hello (name). I'm heading to the UK sooner than you might think. Dexter."

Some time later, an email is received directing the user to an online video “news report” about a recent spree of killings. Using on-the-fly video manipulation, the user’s name and a personalized message are worked into the report – the former written in blood on a wall by the crime scene, the latter added to a note in an evidence bag carried past the camera.

Whilst the marketing campaign has succeeded in raising the profile of the show, it has proved unpopular with many mobile owners who saw this as spam advertising aimed at mobile phones. In response to complaints about the SMS element of the campaign, FX issued the following statement: This article is about electronic spam. ...

"The text message you received was part of an internet viral campaign for our newest show Dexter. However it was not us who sent you the text but one of your friends. We do not have a database of viewer phone numbers. The text message went along with a piece on the net that you can then send on to other people you know. If you go to www.icetruck.tv you will see the page that one of your friends has filled in to send you that message. Therefore I suggest you have a word with anyone who knows your mobile number and see who sent you this message. For the record we did not make a record of any phone numbers used in this campaign."^[8]

Critical reception

The initial response to Dexter was positive. The website Metacritic calculated a score of 77 from a possible 100 based on 27 reviews, making it the third-best reviewed show of the 2006 fall season. This score includes four 100% scores from the New York Daily News, San Francisco Chronicle, Chicago Sun-Times and People Weekly.^[9] Brian Lowry, who had written one of the two poor reviews for the show, recanted his negative review in a year-end column for the trade magazine Variety after watching the full season.^[10] On the CNET Networks website TV.com, Dexter has an overall rating of 9.3/10.^[11] Metacritic is a website that collates reviews of music albums, games, movies, TV shows, DVDs and books. ...

The character of "Harry Morgan" is also a character name in Hemingway's "The Old Man and the Sea". The character's famous sentiment, spoken while dying, was that one man, alone, was nothing at all; this is indicative of the communal themes of Hemingway's novel. It is ironic that Dexter's father shares this name, due to the fact that he taught Dexter how to live the lie that he does; in a sense he taught him how to live alone, closed off from others.
