The Series in Context Dexter arrived during an era when cable networks were experimenting with morally ambiguous protagonists.

This framing enabled the audience to experience cognitive dissonance as a form of engagement: rooting for a murderer while being repeatedly confronted with the ethical implications of extrajudicial violence.
