Dexter Morgan is a Miami-based blood splatter expert who doesn't just solve murders; he commits them too. In fact, he's a serial killer -- but he only murders the guilty, so he feels justified with his lifestyle choices. His policewoman sister and his cop co-workers have no idea Dexter lives a double life; however, adoptive father Harry knows his secret, and does, in fact, help Dexter hone his "skills." It's a unique brand of justice for which charming Dexter feels a psychological hunger.

Ken Tucker Entertainment Weekly The current season [of] Dexter was going along pretty well for a while. But this week - hoo, boy...I'll tune in next week to see how this plays out, but unlike Dexter, my heart's not really in it. Nov 4, 2012 Full Review David Hinckley New York Daily News It's a killer. Rated: 4/5 Sep 30, 2012 Full Review Joshua Alston AV Club Dexter appears to be, at long last, back on his game. Rated: A- Sep 30, 2012 Full Review Julian White Starburst Season 7 is arguably a bit light on plot... but it has plenty to keep you entertained. Rated: 7/10 Apr 3, 2020 Full Review Piers McCarthy Flickering Myth Now, however, in its seventh season, the genuine comedy has diminished and the routine of Dexter's kills and escapist-tricks has become monotonous. What's more, Dexter's moonlight lifestyle has become too unbelievable for the show to appear credible. Apr 3, 2020 Full Review Cory Barker TV.com The show is succeeding, perhaps like never before, because it is taking Deb's emotions and thought process very seriously.

Audience Member First Dexter season I've binge-watched in a day. This was also the first Dexter season in 4 seasons that wasn't a drag to watch. I actually liked this one. I would rate this 4 stars, but the incest bumps it down a star... I don't like that. Ew, why'd you do that? Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/02/25 Full Review William S What we all wondered what would happen when Debra found out finally did. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/28/25 Full Review Annette B Much better than season 6, there’s a lot to keep you entertained. Having brought Debra into the secret that killed their dad made for a frustrating, but excellent watch. Hannah McKay—brilliant, such a refreshing addition to Dexter’s life. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/11/25 Full Review Obi-wan K A bit better then last season Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/15/24 Full Review Wendel L Direção: Bom Atuação: Bom Roteiro: Ok Caracterização: Bom Soundtrack: Bom Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/18/24 Full Review Abel T I think this is the best season Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/29/24 Full Review Read all reviews
