Dexter ran from October 1, 2006, to September 22, 2013, on Showtime for 8 successful seasons.
The show tells the story of Dexter Morgan, a seemingly nice and normal guy who works as a forensic investigator for the Miami PD. But that is not the whole picture. Dexter has a dark, sinister secret - he is a serial killer. Forensic investigator by day and serial killer by night, Dexter describes his desire to kill as a monster inside him that needs to kill, which is referred to as his dark passenger. But there is a silver lining, he only kills other killers, which puts a light veil on his rather dark persona.
