Dexter (Series) - TV Tropes. And it's going to happen again and again.

Has to happen. Hall as Dexter Morgan, a blood- spatter analyst for the Miami police department. He has a loving tomboy sister who works as a cop in his department, and a host of eccentric coworkers. He is also a serial killer. To be specific, Dexter specializes in paying evil unto evil; he's a serial killer of other serial killers, childmolesters, rapists, and other really bad people.

So it's all good! Sort of. Based loosely on the novel Darkly Dreaming Dexter by Jeff Lindsay, the first season of Dexter sees the titular character assisting in homicide investigations, dealing with his girlfriend's issues, assisting his sister in department politics.. Adhering to The Code of Harry — his adopted father, a police officer who saw the makings of a serial killer in him long ago — Dexter confines his killing urge to those criminals who have gotten away with their crimes, and does it so carefully and cleanly that he is not likely to get caught. When another serial killer begins sending special messages just for him in the crime scenes — and in his house — Dexter is pulled into a cat- and- mouse game that will force him to reexamine his chosen life.. The show premiered on Showtime in 2.

The eighth and final season aired in Summer 2. Don't confuse this. In the first season the Ice Truck Killer lures Dexter to one of these where he's keeping a hostage. Aborted Arc: Season 5 has the department pursuing the murderous Fuentes brothers. After a stakeout goes awry, Carlos Fuentes is shot and his brother Marco escapes. With a brutal murderer still on the loose, the department proceeds to..

In Season 6 Louis is being set up as a possible serial killer antagonist, and not only that but an antagonist who knows about Dexter's secret life, as he mails Dexter the Ice Truck Killer's fake hand. In Season 7 this is abandoned, as Louis is back to being annoyed about his video game before he is anticlimactically dispatched. Early in the first season, La. Guerta was practically flinging herself at Dexter, but this was dropped around halfway through. Abusive Parents: Arthur the Trinity Killer was abused by his father, and in turn abuses his family in a number of ways. In season 5, Dexter finds out that Astor's friend Olivia's stepfather hits her. So he beats the ever- loving crap out of the guy and scares him into leaving.

Rita's mother is shown to be emotionally and verbally abusive. For all the love and attention he gave, Harry constantly told Dexter that Dexter wasn't normal and never would be, and guided his son's murderous impulses towards (admittedly deserving) humans due to his own frustration with the legal system, revolving Dexter's entire life around being a Serial- Killer Killer. He did this instead of, say, seeking mental help for his son. This becomes a point of internal debate for Dexter in the Season 2 episode .

Naturally, this leads Dexter to begin wondering if Harry wasn't really some sort of Manipulative Bastard who wanted to train and use Dexter for his own personal war on crime. This is averted in the eighth season when we discover that he actually did consult a psychologist specializing in psychopaths. She believed, due to her own personal history, that institutionalizing Dexter would be wrong, and it was she who came up with the idea of the Code, though Harry was the one who actually formed it.

Dexter Morgan's young son is kidnapped by the crazed serial killer Travis Marshall to be killed in a ritualistic murder. After the Trinity Killer kidnaps and holds a young boy from the mall, Dexter wonders . While his actions in Season 5 can be mostly justified, Season 6 shows Dexter continuing to make reckless decisions and getting way too involved in fighting a serial killer, who ends up targeting his family, just like what happened in Season 4. He faces the threats of death, his secret being revealed, and his son's murder, and only avoids them thanks to Contrived Coincidences.

In a favorable interpretation, it's not clear if he's trying to help and redeem Travis the same way he did with Lumen. He also learns almost constantly that Harry was a very flawed human being and he needs to be his own person. Affably Evil: Dexter. Air Guitar: Rudy Cooper plays the air guitar when he helps Dexter to clean the house after Dexter's biological father died.

She in turns accuses him of judicial misconduct to get convictions. Miguel is eventually revealed to have manipulated Dexter all along to learn the art of murder from him. Miguel lacks the very integrity that he accuses Ellen of not having as he not only wants to subvert the legal proces to kill criminals, but anyone who pisses him off.

Debra Morgan in the series finale, in spite of seeming hale and hearty earlier on. Apology Gift: In season 4, when Rita is annoyed that Dexter doesn't spend time with his family, he buys them all presents. Astor gets a small laptop, Cody some video game, baby Harrison a geeky item of clothes and Rita a home oven for baking bread.

Dexter says they are always out of bread, but it only makes Rita angrier . She also thinks that presents cannot fix everything that is wrong in their relationship.
