Dexter is an American television drama series that is aired on the premium channel Showtime. Set in Miami, the series centers on Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall), a serial killer who works for the Miami Metro Police Department as a blood splatter analyst; he can " kill a man, dismember his body, and be home in time for Letterman ". The drama is based on characters created by Jeff Lindsay for his series of Dexter novels and with its brilliant screenplays and extraordinary and elaborate characters, that break the boundaries of the usual stereotypes, it is without doubt one of the most interesting and best series that are currently in circulation. In this work I will analyze the relationship of natural empathy that is developing between Dexter and his audience during the series; secretly he dreams of having someone to share his innermost thoughts and secrets with: however he is already using us as an intimate confidant. I will try to embed Dexter in its literary, historical and philosophical context, pondering the question: Is Dexter a hero, or, trivially, just a psychopath?
