Explained simply
Dexter is a fictional crime drama about Dexter Morgan, a forensic blood-spatter analyst who secretly kills people he believes have escaped justice. The series has returned in several forms since its original run, often changing its setting and introducing new characters while keeping Dexter at the centre.
Cryptocurrency is digital money that can be transferred and recorded using computer networks, often without a bank. Supporters see it as a new way to handle money, while critics point to risks such as fraud, sharp price swings and weak oversight. The other picks include an animated Minions film set in 1920s Hollywood and a British comedy competition in which comedians try to make one another laugh.
