He’s smart. He’s attractive. He’s Dexter Morgan, America’s favorite serial killer, who spends his days solving crimes and his nights committing them. During Season 8, Angel Batista wasn’t always played by David Zayas. His son David Zayas Jr. fills in for his father in some scenes, as the two look strikingly alike. Seen in the first season, Dexter has a large scar on his left side. Later, in the second season, the scar moved to his right side, leaving his left side unmarked. Dexter Morgan: I lived in darkness for a long time. Over the years, my eyes adjusted until the darkness became my world and I began to see… Presented at the 64th Annual Golden Globe Awards (2007). Main theme song written by Rolf Kent, performed by Rolf Kent. I read Lindsay’s excellent books – Darkly Dreaming Dexter and Dearly Devoted Dexter – a while back, and when I heard there was going to be a TV series based on the books, I was extremely excited. So much so, in fact, that I was afraid of being disappointed, simply because my standards were so high. Thankfully, “Dexter” absolutely delivers. The show maintains the uncomfortable atmosphere of the novels with more precision than one might expect, and Dexter (played by Hall) is all there. The visuals of the show are stunning, to say the least. Disturbing, sure, but more than that – charming. Watching the show, it’s impossible not to find a certain sympathy for Dexter. He’s a monster, and yet it’s entirely possible to identify with him. 10 out of 10. This one has a permanent place on my DVR.
