Paramount's Best Serial Killer Series Quietly Returns as a Streaming Hit

For 20 years, they have been trying to put Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall) down. Everyone who has tried has failed, often meeting a gruesome plastic-wrapped end. That's not a premise that viewers should champion, but Hall's portrayal of the charming and morally ambiguous serial killer has enamored fans for two decades throughout numerous iterations. And inasmuch as the new entrants are entertaining in their own right, the 2006 series remains one of the franchise's most popular. This phenomenon is evident right now, as the original Dexter breaks into the streaming charts ahead of the new season of the only surviving spin-off.
