Orphaned at age three, when he witnessed his mother's brutal murder with a chainsaw, Dexter (Michael C. Hall) was adopted by Miami police officer Harry Morgan (James Remar). Recognizing the boy's trauma and the subsequent development of his sociopathic tendencies, Harry trained Dexter to channel his gruesome bloodlust into vigilantism, killing only heinous criminals who slip through the criminal justice system. To cover his prolific trail of homicides, Dexter gains employment as a forensic analyst, specializing inbloodstain pattern analysis, with the Miami Metro Police Department. Dexter is extremely cautious and circumspect; he wears gloves and uses plastic-wrapped "kill rooms", carves up the corpses, and disposes of them in the Atlantic Ocean'sGulf Stream to reduce his chances of detection. Dexter juggles his two personas, recognizing each as a distinct part of himself that must cohesively work as one. He depends on their interaction as a means of survival and normality. Although his homicidal tendencies are deeply unyielding, as he originally claims (via narration), throughout the series he strives to feel (and in some cases does feel) normal emotions and maintains his appearance as a socially responsible human being.

In preparation for the United Kingdom launch of the series,Fox UK experimented with anSMS-basedviral marketing campaign. Mobile phone owners received the following unsolicited SMS messages addressed to them by name with no identifying information other than being from "Dexter": "Hello (name). I'm heading to the UK sooner than you might think. Dexter." The SMS message was followed by an email directing the user to an online video "news report" about a recent spree of killings. Using on-the-fly video manipulation, the user's name and a personalized message were worked into the report—the former written in blood on a wall near the crime scene, the latter added to a note in an evidence bag carried past the camera. While the marketing campaign raised the show's profile, it proved unpopular with many mobile owners, who saw this as spam advertising aimed at mobile phones. In response to complaints about the SMS element of the campaign, Fox issued the following statement:
The text message you received was part of an internet viral campaign for our newest showDexter. However, it was not us who sent you the text, but one of your friends. We do not have a database of viewer phone numbers. The text message went along with a piece on the net that you can then send on to other people you know. If you go to [the website] you will see the page that one of your friends has filled in to send you that message. Therefore I suggest you have a word with anyone who knows your mobile number and see who sent you this message. For the record, we did not make a record of any phone numbers used in this campaign.[8]
Although reception to individual seasons has varied, the overall response toDexter has been positive. The first, second, fourth, and seventh seasons received critical acclaim, the third and fifth seasons received generally positive reviews, while the sixth and eighth seasons received mixed to negative reviews. While remarking on some of the show's more formulaic elements (quirky detective, hero with dense workmates, convenient plot contrivances), Tad Friend ofThe New Yorker magazine remarked that when Dexter is struggling to connect with Rita or soliciting advice from his victims, "the show finds its voice."[25]

Hall's remarkable performance invites viewers into Dexter's heart of darkness in a sorrowful fifth season that explores whether a hollow man can become a real boy";[17] season six has a 38 percent approval rating with a score of 6.3 out of 10 and the consensus: "Heavy-handed symbolism, an unimpressive villain, and a redundant arc for America's favorite serial killer all conspire to makeDexter's sixth season its worst yet";[19] season seven has an 79 percent approval rating with a score of 7.5 out of 10 and the consensus: "Season seven represents a return to form forDexter, characterized by a riveting storyline and a willingness to take some risks";[21] and season eight has a 33 percent approval rating, a score of 5.5 out of 10, and the final consensus: "The darkly dreamingDexter lays to rest once and for all in a bitterly disappointing final season that is so hesitant to punish its anti-hero for his misdeeds, it opts to punish its audience instead."[23]

In December 2007, when CBS publicly announced that it was consideringDexter for broadcast reruns in the wake of the shortage of original programming ensuing from the2007–08 Writers Guild of America strike, theParents Television Council ("PTC") protested the decision.[39][40] When the network began posting promotional videos of the rebroadcast onYouTube on January 29, 2008, PTC president TimothyF. Winter, in a formal press release, again called for CBS not to air the show on broadcast television, saying that it "should remain on a premium subscription cable network" because "the series compels viewers to empathize with a serial killer, to root for him to prevail, to hope he doesn't get discovered." Winters argued that the “consensus of medical opinion is that violent television content can cause long-term and irreparable harm to children."[41] Winter called on the public to demand that local affiliates pre-emptDexter and warned advertisers that the PTC would take action against any affiliates that sponsored the show.[42]
Following Winter's press release, CBS added parental advisory notices to its broadcast promotions and ultimately ratedDexterTV-14 for broadcast.[43] On February 17, 2008, the show premiered edited primarily for "language" and scenes containing sex or the dismemberment of live victims.[44] The PTC later objected to CBS' broadcasting of the final two episodes of season one in a two-hour block, and to the episodes' starting times, which were as early as 8 pm in some time zones.[45]

On November 4, 2010, in Sweden, a 21-year-old woman known asDexter-mördaren ("The Dexter killer") orDexter-kvinnan ("The Dexter woman") killed her 49-year-old father by stabbing him in the heart.[49] During questioning, the woman compared herself to Dexter Morgan, and a picture of the character would appear on her phone when her father called her.
