Dexter (Pilot episode)

Dexter is the pilot episode of the Showtime television drama series Dexter.

Plot

Production

The premise of the episode followes the same storyline of Jeff Lindsay's novel Darkly Dreaming Dexter, the first in the series of novels on which the television show is based, albeit with many additional elements and altered characters.^[1] Filming of the episode took place in Miami and Los Angeles.^[2]

Casting

Michael C. Hall received the script for Dexter in July 2005, after just having finished the fifth and final season of HBO's Six Feet Under.^[3] Hall was thinking of returning to theatre work, and had no intention of returning to television so quickly.^[3] However, he changed his mind after reading the script, because he was "intrigued by the macabre mix of dark humor, chilling violence, and a unique central character".^[3]

Reception

Dexter's premiere, first aired on October 1, 2006, was watched by a little over a million viewers, giving Showtime its highest ratings in nearly two years.^[4] Editor Elena Maganini, won the 2007 Creative Arts Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Single Camera Picture Editing for a Drama Series, for the episode.^[5]

Overall, the episode was positively received. David Hinckley of the New York Daily News called it "bold, different and exciting, with a central character and performance that take your breath away".^[6] The Chicago Sun-Times's Doug Elfman, called the episode "Fantastic, fascinating, creepy, charming and gruesome".^[7] Critics reacted positive to the character of Dexter.^[8] Entertainment Weekly's Josh Wolk called him "the hippest-looking killer since American Psycho's Patrick Bateman".^[3] The San Francisco Chronicle's Tim Goodman described Dexter as "alluring, in a strange way".^[9]
