Based on novels by author Jeff Lindsay, Dexter follows the life of Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall), a charismatic blood spatter analyst who works in the forensics at the Miami Metro Police Department. On the outside, Dexter seems like the perfect guy -- he has a sister, Debra (Jennifer Carpenter), that adores him and a steady girlfriend, Rita (Julie Benz), with two kids that look up to him. However, what they don't know is that Dexter moonlights as a serial killer, only he isn't your typical killer. Basing his life on the teachings of his foster father, Dexter only kills people who truly deserve it: he ensures that those who got away with horrible crimes will never kill again.

Actually it seems to be getting even better. One of my favorite, underrated actors, Mos Def (Just Mos now) is joining too. This is really good news, in my opinion.

I'm eager to watch next season 6. After Dexter's path to atonement he went through season 5, it seems we can expect different arc stories onwards.
Colin Hanks is joining for the full season:

He is usually solid. This should be a good addition.
@Unable I second that!
Dexter is back guys... 26th September :D
Apasionante!
Best serie ever! :D
excitante
Season 1 was definitely the best, but the rest have mostly been pretty satisfying too. Absolutely a show worth watching. Lets just hope they get better and not worse.
Season 5 was a bit disapointing but well still better than most other shows.
In all fairness, dexter is not what it used to be, + if they followed the plot by the book it would have been so much interesting. I LOVED season #1, but hated everything since. The quality of the show is drastically declining with each season, they should really just end it. It's all the same, each season has the same structure. Someone new comes into Dexter's life and they do some killing together or discovering who he is and then in the season finale that person dies or moves out of his life. Boring, predictable.
season 4 was the best season. can't wait for season 6!
Not the best season, but still a good show overall.
I'd like to get season 6 on my hands now :D
Great season, poor final.
lowered my rating
@kakature Before the last ep I would have disagreed, but the finale was pretty weak indeed. Still can't wait for next season though!
Changed rating from 4 to 3 after his incredibly poor season.
