I love this show its absolutely
Engrossing it is based around the books
Darkly Dreaming Dexter
and, Dubiously Dreaming Dexter.
both of which are written by Jeff Lindsay
The show is about a pair of brothers Brian Moser and, Dexter Moser.
Their Mom Laura Moser is a Drug Addict/Prostitute who turned Informant for the Local Miami-Dade Police Department;
However,a Memeber of the Local Cartel got orders to have her killed by a well known Mass Murderer.
The killings take place at a shiping yard and, Laura moser's death takes place inside a Cargo Box in front of her Two Boys;
All the killer's victims are killed most brutally by being cut up with a chainsaw.
When Laura Moser is killed in front of her two sons Brian and, Dexter it is more than obvious that they are forever altered by what they saw.
The first cop to arrive on the scene is Harry Morgan he is the police officer that Lauara was handing over her info about what was going on in the cartel to.
In addition Laura and, Harry are all-so Secret lovers; Secret because harry is married and, cheating on his wife.
Harry sees Dexter and, saves him because he is 3 and, Harry for some reason doesn't bother with dex's 5yr old brother Brian because he figures the other kid is too far gone and, too damaged by what he saw.
Harry feels the guilt of how he endangered Laura so out of Obligation Harry now raises Dex as if he were his own kid;Harry even goes so far as, to give Dexter his last name.
Any-how harry figures out that Dex has Sociopathic and, Psychopathic tendencies.
So, Harry raises Dexter to abide by a Code of Ethics;Dexter Via Harry's Code Must kill only those who slip through the system and, deserve to die.
The Part of Dex that is comfortable with killing is Dex's other personality half which is only refered to as the Dark Passenger.
Dex only kills those who miss use their dark gift so in essence Dex is the serial killer who kills other serial killers and, people who are guilty of extremely heinous crimes;
These people are People who would normally escape the law because of a failing prosecutorial and, judiciary system.
In addition Dex is unlike any other Serial Killer He works durring the day for the Miami /Dade County Police Dept as a Blood Spatter Analyst something Dex knows all about.
Dex does his other job at night and,to put it in Dexter's Terminology "He is a Very Neat Monster"
unlike his counterparts.
