About
If you want a dark, suspenseful crime series with a morally tangled lead, Dexter delivers binge-worthy tension—Not for you if you dislike serial-killer stories, expect consistent quality, or are sensitive to heavy violence, like Hannibal.
Pros: darkly engaging premise; code-driven tension; strong character focus | Cons: ending divisive; later seasons weaken; heavy violence/gore
