Airing on Showtime:

Of all the crimefighters in TV history, Dexter (Michael C. Hall) is the spookiest. That's because he is himself a serial killer. Unlike others of his ilk, Dexter has honed his compulsion and focuses only on bad people in Miami who slip through the hands of justice. If the cops can't catch them or they beat the system, there's always Dexter.

Dexter, we learn in flashbacks that provide increasing detail in each episode, was adopted by street-smart police detective Harry Morgan (James Remar), who recognized his son's unstoppable urge to kill. So before he died, Dad taught young Dexter to focus on criminals and leave no trace of his deeds behind. That's what Dexter calls "The Code of Harry." "I'm a very neat monster," he explains in one of the frequent voice-overs. It's one of many indications that this 12-episode series is not for the squeamish.

By day, Dexter conveniently works as a blood spatter expert in forensics for the Miami police. Though interaction with others is a chore, Dexter manages a bland but likable persona. His girlfriend, Rita (Julie Benz), is perfect for him. Her ex was violent and abusive, leaving her emotionally scarred and indisposed toward sex. Only his boss, Sgt. Doakes (Erik King), calls Dexter a psycho and a weirdo, to which our hero voices no objection.

In each episode, Dexter metes out his calculated and deadly justice. There's also a mystery that lasts the entire season involving a counterpart serial killer who essentially challenges Dexter to catch him.
