Dexter - Tv Shows

Dexter remains a fascinating case study. It proved that audiences could stomach (and even celebrate) a protagonist who is clinically a monster, provided his victims are worse. It blurred the line between justice and revenge until the line disappeared.

However, its legacy is a warning. The show’s decline came from cowardice—an unwillingness to let its hero face the music. In the end, Dexter wasn’t a show about a serial killer. It was a show about a society that secretly wants one, and the terrifying realization that such a wish has no happy ending. tv shows dexter
