Mike P Dexter: A sympathetic serial killer. A handsome, middle-aged Miami forensics expert; with a very dark secret... Let's just say he loves to take his work home with him...So ..Is he the good guy? Or the bad guy? Maybe a little of both? Dexter's the judge, jury and executioner we all wish we could be...From time to time anyway...And yet, when we all see it laid out like this; so plain and obvious; and ugly; it makes us wonder...Is vigilantism, even this kind of obvious black and white vigilantism, is this the answer to all society's ills? The show's absolute unwillingness to answer this question is what makes it so compelling. And Michael Hall is indeed quite the compelling cypher... He's a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma. And so is life ..As a matter of fact. Particularly for serial killers... (P.S. speaking of all of that..."Dexter" comes from the latin meaning right or good. It's the opposite of "Sinister" meaning bad. Ironic, no?)... Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/05/25 Full Review Audience Member The plot is very lackluster in the first season of Dexter, but it keeps you hooked through the interesting premise and thrill of watching Dexter manage multiple lives all at once. In the story department, the main antagonist, the Ice Truck Killer ending up to be the person who it was, was a very cliche twist. You're trying to guess who the Ice Truck Killer could be throughout the episodes, just to be met with the disappointment that you never had a possibility of being right about who it really was, because it was a character that wasn't even introduced until the later episodes of the season. Overall, very disappointing ending to the first season of Dexter, but I still enjoyed it nonetheless. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/02/25 Full Review Jack R This season is incredible and the Ice truck Killer mystery is Great and Dexters personal relationships really shine and The pacing and Look of the show is Top notch and The characters are really well acted and I think the one thing that lets this season down is the reveal of the killer, I don’t know if it was just me but after getting to see and know Rudy I always knew something was up but overall highly recommend Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/10/25 Full Review Audience Member Season 1 is top 3 of the seasons. Season 1 of Dexter is the best starter to a show, with lifely colors and moods this show is amazing. With a sad ending to it as well and a insane plot twist and increasing lore later into the season. This season had meaning to the ending and in the best way possible. I extremely love this season as it was the best and is top 3 in my opinion for SURE. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/08/25 Full Review Theo K Season 1 is great. Very comforting and weirdly homely season. Dexter peaks at the beginning Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/25 Full Review Simon T Although I'm late to this show, watching it for the first time, I highly recommend it to everyone. It's addicting; it always makes you want to continue watching. The storyline is perfect, and each character is well-written. I love the character development of Dexter Morgan. We get a lot of background flashbacks of Dexter as a child. We see more into his thoughts and feelings. We also see that he is not truly an evil person. The mystery behind the Ice Truck Killer was shocking. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/25 Full Review Read all reviews
