Dexter Morgan is a forensic expert who specializes in bloodstain analysis. What’s off about this man is that he sometimes has an inexplicable “need to kill“. He calls the act of killing feeding to the “Dark Passenger“. Running for a total of 96 episodes divided among 8 seasons, Dexter was a tremendous success. The show even has a video game where players solve crimes and hunt down murderers to kill.

The finale of Dexter shows Morgan to be presumed dead. But, as it turns out, he was in hiding and leading a life far away from his initial home. Dexter: New Blood shows Morgan working as a shopkeeper with a new identity in a small town. He even befriends and courts the town’s chief of police and has largely suppressed his need to keep feeding the Dark Passenger.

However, Morgan’s quiet little life in this suburb changes completely when his son Harrison visits him. The man who has left his past behind finds his life completely turned upside down as his urges to kill visit him again. Although, this time around, Dexter isn’t just concerned about the Dark Passenger living within him, he thinks the same is true for his son, as well.
