As reported earlier this year in May by Forbes, Netflix has successfully acquired the rights to stream the popular crime drama series. Originally aired on Showtime for eight seasons from 2006 to 2013, the show narrates how Dexter Morgan, played by Hall, a forensic analyst decides to take up Justice into his own hands and clean up the city in his unconventional ways. Targeting society's worst criminals, Hall played a serial killer with his father playing an important hand in it all.
Harry, his adoptive father, taught him to channel his urges by eliminating those who escape justice. As a crime scene detective with the Miami Metro Police Department, Dexter hides in plain sight, executing his victims while recounting their past crimes. With the sequel saved for next year, Dexter: Original Sin is set to premiere later this year in December. Moreover, until the streaming giant starts streaming Dexter, it is not the only choice on Netflix to watch if you love crime dramas and thrillers.
