About Dexter:
He's smart, he's good looking, and he's got a great sense of humor. He's Dexter Morgan, everyone's favorite serial killer. As a Miami forensics expert, he spends his days solving crimes, and nights committing them. But Dexter lives by a strict code of honor that is both his saving grace and lifelong burden. Torn between his deadly compulsion and his desire for true happiness, Dexter is a man in profound conflict with the world and himself. Golden Globe winner Michael C. Hall stars in the hit SHOWTIME Original Series.
Starring: Michael C. Hall, Julie Benz, Jennifer Carpenter, Erik King, Lauren Vélez, David Zayas, James Remar, C. S. Lee, Desmond Harrington, Aimee Garcia, & Geoff Pierson

tbh if Dexter wasn't a serial killer, Doakes would have been just bullying a coworker who is autistic about murder scenes

Dexter was a serial killer????????

[@michaeldoran4367]

[@Burnsy12]

The reason Doakes bullied him was because he was also a killer and he could tell Dexter was like him. If Dexter was normal, Doakes would have left him alone.

I remember binge watching Dexter, Suits and Breaking Bad during covid, and they all had the same thing in common, they all started out with a 3 season premise, but ended up becoming huge hits, and they all had to make adjustments to the shows to allow them to continue. The actor who played Dokes was a great actor, and was in fantastic shape. Unfortunately the “Will Dokes catch Dexter” or “Will Mike be found out” story lines could only last a couple seasons, and they had to make changes to keep moving forward. Breaking Bad kept Jessie when he was supposed to have been killed off, and brought in Gus Fring to advance the story.

Everyone always says Doakes was always right about Dexter. But truth is that both Dexter and Doakes were right about eachother, Dexter was actually less delusional about who he was than Doakes was about himself. They were both killers, Doakes thought he was more justified and clearly had an ego bigger than his own head. Dexter lied to everyone else but never to himself. Their final conversation, in unspoken words, was them finally finding a brief moment of respecting eachother. Doakes respected Dexter for wanting to turn himself and finally face the consequences. Dexter respected Doakes for doing his job and wanting to bring killers to justice. But the show couldn’t end there. It had 7 more seasons to go, so Lila had to step in and fuck things up

Doakes was a superb character. When he told LaGuerta about his instincts and what he has been through (and doing) he basically not only had a Dark Passenger himself like Dexter he himself was basically an untrained version of Dexter.

In the books is basically a broken stump who got so damaged by a killer that he isn't able to continue police duty.

The sun probably.

[@RmAFearox]

The sun is blinding

Good call. I think he was just messing with Doakes since the other 2 people weren't looking his direction. Afterall, Doakes just called him a creep show ... Dexter gave him the facial expression to match that assessment.

[@Eva-ed4ed]

I find the fascinating dialogue when Doakes finds out about Dex, because it’s incredibly realistic to what the scene should be, rather than being dramatic and full of emotion. But it genuinely is what it should; Doakes allowing himself to express a bit of the overwhelm he is feeling without losing compuse, and Dexter just reacting to it without any emotion whatsoever, kind of on automatic pilot. “You said that.” “I’m happy for you”. Man, such anticlimactic answers, yet perfect for the situation. I love how well written this dialogue is.

2:02 😂😂😂he said flee💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀they was the best duo rip my guy

[@JayJoe626]

The quote at 1:26 always gets me about. The fact that Doakes is the only one who sees Dexter as he is is kind blowing

[@juhani6120]

Brilliant show! Best part in this video is when Dexter says: "You are." with that funny tone.

[@DrPlatypus1]

5:58 Dexter's face 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@christopherbostic4429]

This wouldn’t be on the list but I LOVED the Deb Doakes family dinner. It’s shows that the tough angry guy does have a caring family that annoys him just like everyone else 💕

[@inverted270]

“Bullshit I never laughed” bro I loled hard af

[@raginggamer7207]

Okay. Let's just separate the fact Dexter IS a weirdo and a serial killer. Doakes doesn't know that. But he's an HR nightmare. You can't call someone "A fucking weirdo" and other awful things multiple times a day, every day at work. Even if he's a good cop, he's a shitty person. And all the evidence points to him being the Bay Harbor Butcher......

[@jacktorrance2633]

You wouldn't believe the shit that happened during my 27 years at UPS.

[@sggin1]

He should have been around longer this amazing duo, they had the best energy between actors , imo top 10. Thanks for the clips

[@CT-nb5lm]

Best "Surprise MoFo" of all time!

[@CountOfMonteCristo_]

Nothing was more satisfying that Dexter telling Doakes to, “take his f*cking hand off him” he finally stood up for himself, and showed apart of his dark passenger.

[@samboes8785]

The flashback scenes from season 7 are great too. "You don't even walk like a normal person, you glide. Like a fuckin' lizard on ice!"

[@DcFan-t5j]

Dude these are honestly just pure comedy these actors are so serious yet so effortlessly funny

[@deadmanthehekatonkheire994]

My top 3 favourite Dexter characters: 3. Doakes 2. Dexter 1. Debra The 3Ds.

[@GustavoGplay]

These two were an amazing pair. The actors had great chemistry. And their confrontation is actually better in the show than in the books.

[@daimonik6255]

Doakes was the hearth of the show... I loved him

[@god0fgames100]

He was a fireplace?

[@gid519]

Ya know after playing Bg3... Dexter really is the Dark Urge bard.

[@loandbaxhuku9617]

Oh God, Dexter x Shadowheart romance is in my head now.

[@KevinBlankenship-p6m]

I loved this show, and Doakes and Dexter was the best part of it!! Character wise it won't get any better than those two!!

[@rozero123459gnh]

"Bullshit I never Laughed" This show is a guilty pleasure of mine. But Doakes really pulls you into the story. I cant wait to see the future dynamics between him and Dexter.

[@basedeffect2610]

The chemistry is amazing. I’ve never seen this show before but I bet these two definitely have a happy ending together.

[@RobertPiotrowski96]

As much as I love seasons 1-4, I'm still surprised that MPD believed so easly that Doakes is the Butcher, while Dexter wasn't deemed even a little suspicious by most of them. Dexter himself said that it surprises him that only Doakes gets a creepy feeling around him, but even that feeling aside, come on, Dexter is shady af 😅 As for Doakes, I would sooner believed, that he is a Punisher and goes around blowling up mob locals, not that he hunts down criminals, kills them and dispose their budies in style of the Butcher

[@ignatzmeyer1978]

Dexter was the slim lab geek, who would never hurt a fly ;)

[@Paul42130]

Can you make a first and last scene video from the Dexter characters pls

Crazy that doakes had absolutely no idea who he was dealing with

[@vex350]

"Bullshit ive never laughed" has got to be one of the most ironically fkn hilarious things ever said XD

[@tassadar137]
