- CreatorJames Manos Jr.StarsMichael C. HallJennifer CarpenterDavid ZayasHe's smart. He's lovable. He's Dexter Morgan, America's favorite serial killer, who spends his days solving crimes and his nights committing them.All I can say is that Mrs. Shullivan and I hope this television series finds a second life because it was so captivating for the 8 seasons that is was on television that we want MORE OF THE SAME. Beginning with actor Michael C. Hall as Dexter Morgan of the Miami Police Forensic Unit (specializing in Blood Splatter Analysis) and his little sister Detective Debra Morgan played superbly by Jennifer Carpenter and a supporting cast that is just too far reaching to describe them all, we need to see more of this first rate crime series that won many Emmy's. Heck, even the introductory musical score and imagery is fantastic!!! If you enjoy serial killer themed films and mini-series then this series just cannot be missed!!!
