He’s smart

He’s adorable. He’s Dexter Morgan, America’s favorite serial killer, who spends his days solving crimes and his nights committing them. During season 8, Angel Batista wasn’t always played by David Zayas.

His son David Zayas Jr

replaces his father in some photos, as the two bear a striking resemblance. Visible throughout the first season, Dexter has a large scar on his left side. Later in season two, the scar moved to his right side, leaving his left side unmarked.

Dexter paints a believable and very detailed portrait of a sociopath, let’s say disturbed

Dexter, a forensics expert by day, a serial killer with a dash of vigilantism by night. One of my favorite aspects of the show is the emotions that ordinary people show, forcing Dexter to imitate them. It’s a good laugh when the emotions Dexter fakes become real and he is terrified, like in his relationship with his “girlfriend” Rita, a mother of two and the victim of her violent ex-boyfriend.

A thrilling story, lots of details and one of the best opening sequences so far

I also liked Jennifer Carpenter’s performance as Dexter’s sister Debra, who adds a nice touch of color to the show without falling into clichés.
