Michael C. Hall Reacts to Dexter’s Most Shocking Moments
Michael C. Hall, who plays the titular role in Showtime's hit series Dexter, remembers some of the show's most shocking moments. Dexter season 1 aired in 2006 on the premium cable network and aired the series-ending season 8 finale in 2013. Hall led a robust cast of detectives who worked in Miami Metro's homicide department, where he worked as a blood splatter analyst. By day, Dexter's job was to investigate the unique patterns of blood spill at crime scenes to determine the exact cause of death in some of Miami's most gruesome murders. By night, however, he moonlit as a serial killer himself, disposing of criminals whom he deemed worthy of death. He routinely referred to the murderous side of his personality as his "dark passenger."
Throughout the show's run, he had been known to get into many a dicey predicament. The juxtaposition of Dexter working for detectives while leading a secret life as a deadly killer routinely raised the stakes and left the audience wondering when, if ever, his secret would be discovered. Each season saw the emergence of a new villain for Dexter to hunt down and fight to the death. With the conflict inevitably always turning personal, his own wife and step-children would often become targets. In an effort to protect those he loved, Dexter would have to come up with clever ways to execute his deadly pursuers.
