The dark secrets of Dexter: Original Sin

The last time we saw Dexter Morgan, it seemed that his creators were finally killing him off. Starting in 2006, Michael C Hall had played the vigilante serial killer through eight series of Dexter, followed by an apparently fatal reprise in Dexter: New Blood. But not so fast…

In US television, it’s a bold network that kills off a profitable idea, so the story of a sociopath who masquerades as a forensic expert and channels his bloodlust towards slaughtering evil-doers was too rewarding to end.
