During the day, Dexter Morgan is a jovial employee in the Miami Metropolitan Police Department's crime lab, but his meticulously crafted life masks his true nature. In reality Dexter is a disciplined and murderous psychopath (a self-admitted "monster"), and he slakes his blood lust at night by carefully killing the serial killers he tracks down during the day. Based on the novels (Darkly Dreaming Dexter, Dearly Devoted Dexter and Dexter in the Dark) by Jeff Lindsay.

Movie Trivia:
- Dexter's boat is named Slice of Life.
-
Dexter frequently uses aliases that make reference to Bret Easton Ellis books and their film adaptations. These include using "Patrick Bateman" (the main character from American Psycho (2000)) when buying tranquilizers and "Sean Ellis" (reference to both Ellis and Sean Bateman - from The Rules of Attraction (2002)) when seeing a psychiatrist.
-
The advertisement on Foxtel in Australia promoting Dexter was pulled after the South Australian government filed complaints regarding the mention of Adelaide (a city in South Australia) having the highest serial killer count per capita.
-
Ranked #30 on Empire magazine's 50 Greatest TV Shows Of All Time (2008).
-
Though they play brother and sister in the series, having met on the show, Michael C. Hall and Jennifer Carpenter married on 31st December 2008.
-
The name of the main character, "Dexter," is also a Latin word meaning "right hand." The implied complement is the Latin for "left hand," "sinister," reflecting his hidden dark side.
-
Judd Nelson, Ben Stiller, Jon Cryer, John Cusack, Tom Cruise, Charlie Sheen, James Spader, Emilio Estevez, Sean Penn, Jake Gyllenhaal, Macaulay Culkin, Matthew Broderick, Andrew McCarthy and Dan Aykroyd were all considered for the role of Dexter Morgan.
-
Sgt. Angel Batista at times refers to Dexter as "socio" when speaking to him as a friend or in confidence. This is a clever English/Spanish play on words. While "socio" in Spanish means "associate" or "partner", in English it is the beginning of the word "sociopath."
-
Sylvester Stallone is a big fan of the show and has used two actors from its principal cast in his films: Julie Benz (Rambo (2008)) and David Zayas (The Expendables (2010)).
-
In Season 1, Dexter and Rita watch the film Terms of Endearment (1983), which features actor John Lithgow. Lithgow would later star in Season 4 as Arthur Mitchell.
-
Of the four complete seasons aired (2010), Season 4 is the only one to end with a cliffhanger.
-
Season 1 was heavily based on Jeff Lindsay's novel called 'Darkly Dreaming Dexter'. The following seasons vaguely reference the sequels of the novel.
-
'John Lithgow' plays a character named Arthur Mitchell on the show. In real life John's father's name is Arthur.
