Dexter Morgan is a Miami-based blood splatter expert who doesn't just solve murders; he commits them too. In fact, he's a serial killer -- but he only murders the guilty, so he feels justified with his lifestyle choices. His policewoman sister and his cop co-workers have no idea Dexter lives a double life; however, adoptive father Harry knows his secret, and does, in fact, help Dexter hone his "skills." It's a unique brand of justice for which charming Dexter feels a psychological hunger.

The current season [of] Dexter was going along pretty well for a while. But this week - hoo, boy...I'll tune in next week to see how this plays out, but unlike Dexter, my heart's not really in it. Go to Full Review David Hinckley New York Daily News 09/30/2012

Season 7 is arguably a bit light on plot... but it has plenty to keep you entertained. Go to Full Review Piers McCarthy Flickering Myth 04/03/2020
Now, however, in its seventh season, the genuine comedy has diminished and the routine of Dexter's kills and escapist-tricks has become monotonous. What's more, Dexter's moonlight lifestyle has become too unbelievable for the show to appear credible. Go to Full Review Cory Barker TV.com 01/09/2019
The show is succeeding, perhaps like never before, because it is taking Deb's emotions and thought process very seriously. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

James B @James_B Dec 15 Certainly a sep up from season 6. Season 7 raises the steaks at an all time high. See more Noah S. @Noah2002 Nov 5 Does not reach the high levels of previous seasons, but still better than the Doomsday season and a return to form. Rest in peace Ray Stevenson for carrying (most of) this season! See more bob t Sep 29 Another great Dexter season See more Benjamin H Sep 9 In spite of great performances, a superb new villain and scenes here and there that are exciting or emotional, Dexter's penultimate season is both redundant and often breaking its own rules and by trying to build up its story with the same ingredients as many times before, the result just isn't as compelling or effective as it was in the first four seasons of this show. See more Kas A @Kas.A Sep 7 Season 7 represents a return to form of Dexter. It's many storylines have more than plenty to keep you entertained. See more joven a Jul 28 I miss Ray Stevenson. The way he played as the main antagonist in this season made him the best among others. Debra was also amazing how she handled the truth upon descovering it. See more Read all reviews
