  • "Dexter", or "Pilot", is the pilot episode of the first season television drama series of the same name, which premiered on October 1, 2006 on Showtime in the United States. The episode was written by developer James Manos Jr. and directed by Michael Cuesta. It was based on the opening of the 2004 novel Darkly Dreaming Dexter by Jeff Lindsay. The pilot introduces the series' protagonist, Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall), a Miami Metro Police Department blood spatter analyst with a double life as a serial killer. While solving murders in the Homicide division, Dexter also spends his time hunting and killing murderers and criminals who have escaped the justice system. The pilot introduces the "Ice Truck Killer", a serial killer who targets prostitutes and leaves their bodies dismembered and bloodless, and the rivalry that develops between the killer and Dexter. Jeff Lindsay was initially against casting Michael C. Hall to play Dexter, but changed his mind after seeing him speak only one line of the script. The crew began filming the pilot in Miami, but were unable to finish due to the overlap of production with the hurricane season. In spite of a subsidy from the state of Florida, the crew moved to Los Angeles, where the remainder of filming took place; footage shot in both Miami and Los Angeles were used in the episode. "Dexter" was watched by over one million viewers, giving Showtime its highest ratings in almost two years. Critical reception of the pilot was mostly positive, with praise centering on the strong acting from the entire cast, compelling story, and set design, though Dexter's narration was often criticized and some questioned whether portraying a serial killer in a heroic light was tasteful or entertaining. In 2007, CBS announced that it would broadcast the show over the public airwaves, which sparked controversy with the Parents Television Council (PTC). The PTC did not want the show to be broadcast because it "compelled viewers to empathize with a serial killer"; in response, CBS replaced expletives, cut out bloody scenes and gave the show a TV-14 rating. The eventual premiere of the show on CBS was on February 17, 2008, and was watched by 8.1 million viewers. (en)
  • "Dexter" es el episodio piloto de la serie de televisión estadounidense Dexter, que se estrenó el 1 de octubre de 2006 en Showtime en los Estados Unidos. El episodio fue escrito por el guionista y dirigido por Michael Cuesta. Está basado en la novela El oscuro pasajero de Jeff Lindsay. El piloto presenta al protagonista de la serie, Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall), un analista de rastros de sangre del Departamento de Policía Metropolitana de Miami con una doble vida como un asesino en serie. Mientras resuelve asesinatos en la división de homicidios, Dexter también pasa su tiempo cazando y que han escapado del sistema judicial. El piloto también presenta al Asesino del camión de hielo (Ice truck killer en inglés), un asesino en serie que mata prostitutas y deja sus cuerpos desmembrados y sin sangre, y el reto de Dexter por revelar su identidad. En un inicio, Jeff Lindsay estuvo en contra de que Hall interpretar a Dexter, pero cambió de opinión tras verlo leer una línea del guion. El equipo comenzó a filmar el piloto en Miami, pero no pudo terminarlo debido a la llegada de la temporada de huracanes. A pesar de un subsidio del Estado de Florida, el equipo se trasladó a Los Ángeles, donde tuvo lugar el resto de la filmación; por ello, el episodio utiliza material filmado tanto en Miami como en Los Ángeles. «Dexter» fue visto por más de un millón de espectadores, lo que significó la mayor audiencia de Showtime en casi dos años. La recepción de la crítica fue en su mayor parte positiva, aunque algunos críticos de Variety, y The Wall Street Journal opinaron que fue "desagradable" de ver.​​​ En 2007, CBS anunció que emitiría la serie en señal abierta, lo que generó controversia con el Parents Television Council (PTC). El PTC no quería que la serie fuera emitida debido a que «obligaba a los espectadores a empatizar con un asesino en serie»;​ en respuesta, CBS remplazó improperios, cortó escenas sangrientas y le dio a la serie una clasificación para mayores de 14 años. El posterior estreno de la serie en CBS fue el 17 de febrero de 2008 y fue visto por 8,1 millones de espectadores. (es)

  • Michael has a visual style that is quite distinctive. For example, in the scene where Dexter and his sister are at Jimbo’s Crab Shack, Michael shot standard coverage as one piece. But then there were all these other bits of business—drifting down from faces to the food, the condensation on a glass while Dexter talks about a killer using a refrigeration truck. These are ways of making more out of the conversation than the literal stuff they’re talking about. That’s the kind of thing Michael does to tell the story––and it makes it much more interesting. (en)
  • I have always been drawn to shows that have a dark theme. What’s interesting to me about Dexter is that it features a character who is extremely disturbed and yet is trying to present himself as someone normal; he says and does all the right things. When his dark side takes over, you are totally in his psychotic world. The intersection where these two things meet makes for a lot of tension. (en)
