Dexter Season 1: For those who haven't seen the series yet.

Showtime's psychological thriller "Dexter," portrayed by Michael C. Hall, is a story based out of Miami, FL, where the police face epically brutal crime scenes.  Dexter Morgan is a forensics expert who's mastery is blood spatter, but there is a catch, Dexter happens to be a serial killer as well. 

As a child, Dexter witnesses his mother's brutal execution, and is rescued by the first police officer to arrive at that crime scene, Harry Morgan.  Growing up Harry notices that Dexter has tendencies to kill animals and is all around not a very sociable person.  Harry begins to tell Dexter that he needs to harness his tendencies and "use them for good."  Harry teaches Dexter how to spot his targets, and teaches Dexter his code.  Dexter kills those who have committed heinous crimes against others.

Throughout season one, the team is after a serial killer dubbed "The Ice Truck Killer" The killer drains the blood of his victim then cuts them up and leaves them in various places.  Dexter becomes extremely fascinated with the killer.  The killer manages to get into Dexter's house and get to know him. The next body is found piece by piece, with a connection to Dexter's past. 

Having just finished season 1, this is a good teaser to get people wanting to know more.  "Dexter" is a bit on the brutal side and a bit far fetched, so a mature audience is needed for this show.
