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

Alexander A @RT85760614 Mar 10 It is a very good season and is the last great season of this show, adds many more emotional stakes to the show and perfectly sets up for the... eight season... shit... See more Hc N @RT04263181 Mar 8 I think Debra is the one I’m rooting for in this season and the genre has changed into something more serious as she (and we) is seeing Dexter as he truly is. It’s not so fun to watch anymore, but still just as good now that the darker undertones are seeping in. It feels that this season sets the tone for a tragic last season, which I have yet to see. See more Kaleb W @RT63485023 Feb 25 Dexter Season 7 - A- See more 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 @RT89536276 Sep 29 Another great Dexter season See more Read all reviews
