Explained simply
Dexter began as a crime drama on US television in 2006. It follows Dexter Morgan, a forensic analyst who helps police investigate murders while secretly killing people he believes have escaped justice.
Michael C. Hall plays Dexter, whose story has continued in several follow-up series. The original show is set in Miami, while Dexter: Resurrection moves the character to New York.
The franchise has lasted across multiple series and settings, giving new viewers several points at which to encounter Dexter’s story. Its appeal partly rests on the tension between his public role in law enforcement and his secret life as a killer.
