JOURNAL 2

Hello  everybody,

The topic that I am going to talk about is Dexter. It is my favourite . I hope you enjoy it.

First, I want to show you the morning routine of  Dexter. Each episode starts with this routine.Let’s  have a look at it.

The series centers on Dexter Morgan,a bloodstain pattern analyst for the Miami Metro Police Department who moonlights as a serial killer.The first season of Dexter is an adaptation of Jeff Lindsay's first novel in the Dexter series, Darkly Dreaming Dexter. This season includes Dexter's investigation of "The Ice Truck Killer". This serial killer targets prostitutes and leaves their bodies severed and bloodless. At the same time, Dexter's foster sister, Debra Morgan , a vice squad officer, aspires to work  in the homicide department. Debra begins dating a prosthetics doctor named Rudy Cooper, who is secretly the Ice Truck Killer. After they get engaged, Cooper kidnaps Debra and lures Dexter to the house where he is keeping her. Here Dexter recognizes Cooper as Brian, his long-lost brother. Brian tells Dexter that, as children, they witnessed their mother's murder at the hands of drug dealers, who then left the two of them in a shipping crate for two days, sitting in a pool of their mother's blood.

 He also learns that Brian spent much of his childhood in an institution. Brian brings Dexter to a bound

Debra, intent that the two of them would kill her together to cement their bond and sever the ties between Dexter and his adoptive family. Dexter hesitates for a moment, but eventually stops Brian from killing her; moments later, the police arrive and Brian escapes. After luring Brian into a trap, Dexter drugs and kills him, making it look like a suicide; everyone, including Debra, remains unaware of the exact connection between Dexter and Brian. Dexter feels some regret over killing Brian, the one person who fully understood him, in order to save Debra, who he knows would reject him if she ever learned his true identity.

In the second  season, the bodies of Dexter's victims are uncovered and an investigation is launched in Dexter's own department to find the killer, dubbed the "Bay Harbor Butcher". Dexter  is in danger of being caught.During this time, Debra(his sister) struggles to recover after surviving Ice Truck Killer's attempts to murder her, and Rita (Dexter’s  new girl friend)sends Dexter to Narcotics Anonymous meetings when she suspects that he has an addiction. At the meetings ,Dexter meets and becomes involved with his sponsor, Lila Tournay, who starts to pursue Dexter obsessively.

In the third season, Dexter kills a man in self defense and initiates a friendship with the man's brother, Assistant District Attorney Miguel Prado.In the meantime,Dexter proposes to Rita. In addition,Debra investigates the murders of a new serial killer, called "The Skinner", who skins his victims alive. On the night before his wedding, Dexter is captured by The Skinner.However,he  takes advantage of a moment when the Skinner is distracted.Dexter kills the skinner ,and makes it look like suicide .After that event, he attends his wedding. 

In the fourth season,Special Agent Frank Lundy comes to hunt down the "Trinity Killer" who he believes always murders three people in a very specific sequence: a young woman in a bathtub, an older mother of two falling to her death, and a father of two bludgeoned to death.Dexter investigates this Trinity case.When  one dayDexter returns home after dealing with Trinity, he picks up a message from Rita. After listening to the message, he calls her back. He hears Rita's phone ring from within the house and soon after, he hears Harrison (his son) crying. He rushes to the bathroom, where he finds Harrison sitting on the tile floor in a pool of blood while Rita lies dead in the bathtub, having been murdered in the same fashion as each of the other Trinity bathtub killings.

The fifth season focuses on how Dexter deals with Rita's death.Dexter finds a Department of Sanitation worker, Boyd Fowler, who is responsible for the deaths of many women. Dexter eventually kills Fowler, but the crime is witnessed by Fowler's next victim Lumen Pierce, whom he has in captivity. Meanwhile, Dexter and Lumen hunt the other people responsible for torturing her.

The sixth season features two main antagonists, Professor Gellar  and Travis Marshall , who base their killings on biblical texts, specifically the Book of Revelation, and leave signs of the Apocalypse including the Alpha and Omega or the Four Horsemen, as a cryptographic tableau at crime scenes. The season also introduces Brother Sam , a former drug addict and murderer who repented and became a minister. He operates a body shop where he employs other ex-convicts, whom he also "shepherds" to lead crime-free lives. Initially believing Sam to be behind the fruit vendor's murder, Dexter is quickly proven wrong and finds himself befriending him.
