With Dexter: Resurrection dropping July 11th for Andrew's Birthday - John & Andrew head to Miami for DEXTER Season 1 Episodes 1–4 Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Analysis & Spoiler Review!!

Andrew Gordon & Johnald dive into the first four chilling episodes of Showtime's 2006 breakout hit Dexter, the gripping psychological crime drama that introduced the world to one of TV’s most iconic antiheroes. Set in Miami, the series follows Dexter Morgan, a blood-spatter analyst for the Miami Metro Police Department who moonlights as a vigilante serial killer targeting those who’ve escaped justice. Michael C. Hall (Six Feet Under, Safe) delivers a career-defining performance as Dexter, balancing eerie charm with calculating precision.

The first episode, “Dexter,” sets the tone with Dexter narrating his inner darkness, laying the groundwork for his “Code of Harry”—a moral framework instilled by his adoptive father Harry Morgan (James Remar, The Warriors, Black Lightning). Jennifer Carpenter (The Exorcism of Emily Rose, Limitless) plays Dexter’s fiery sister Debra Morgan, a rookie cop eager to prove herself. Lauren Vélez (Oz, Ugly Betty) portrays Lt. María LaGuerta, whose growing fascination with Dexter adds another layer of tension. Julie Benz (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel) is Rita Bennett, Dexter’s emotionally fragile girlfriend, trying to rebuild her life while unknowingly dating a killer.

In Episode 2, “Crocodile,” Dexter juggles a new target while clues emerge about the “Ice Truck Killer,” a mysterious murderer who stages his victims with gruesome precision. Episode 3, “Popping Cherry,” takes us deeper into Dexter’s origin story and gives us his first flashback kill, while Episode 4, “Let’s Give the Boy a Hand,” escalates the Ice Truck Killer’s psychological game—sending Dexter photos that unearth long-buried trauma.

Does this live up to its reputation as one of the Very BEST Cable TV Shows of all time??
