Every Time Dexter Broke the Code 🤫

When Harry Morgan trained Dexter, he left him with a code to abide by. For the most part, Dexter follows Harry’s advice, but he’s also deviated from time to time - here’s a look back at those times. All episodes are now streaming on Paramount+ with Showtime.

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.

I never considered Dexter killing Camilla as a Code violation. To me, it was neither a Code kill or a non-Code kill, it was just a mercy that she begged for.

You can’t break the code if it was never in the code to begin with. But I like the way you think, good shit yo.

The real reason Dexter choked out the p3do is because when he saw his stepdaughters pictures on his computer he realized she was his next target.

[@matthewpiergies2333]

Something I’m just now realizing after this video, it’s pretty interesting how he started breaking the code a lot afterthoughts death of Doaks almost like Doaks was actually helping Dex stick to the code!

[@auqajenkins3411]

Now that I think about it, the Brain Surgeon was already in jail when Dexter killed him, so that violates Harry's code.

[@rakkon1]

Not true. The first rule of the code is dont get caught. He would have snitched him.

[@Megacliff]

The time Dexter rage killed some guy in a public bathroom was shocking. Not the event itself, but that Dexter never even seemed to internalize it. Spooky!

[@PictureProductStudio]

You kinda hope he'd run a background check and found the guy was guilty, but yeah, they could've shown more. Also, I have same issue with Farrow: giving up and saying 'an innocent man' is a bit out of character and Farrow is suspicious as all hell, seems at the very least like an accomplice.

[@Megacliff]

@@PictureProductStudio That Dexter never really faced serious moral decisions or compromises became the weakest part of the series. Over time, it seems the showrunners lacked the faith to make Dexter have to be a bad person in some viewer's eyes, and the drama became stale imo. That said, I loved Dexter the first time. I wasn't even mad about the ending. Now I'm a bit older and see a lot of flaws we could discuss, but I guess what I'm saying is that Farrow being shady as all hell is what made the show less fun.

[@PictureProductStudio]

1:12 - technically not true. Like Oscar Prado here, he also killed Esteban and Teo Famosa in self-defense. Then again he might've checked post-factum and find out that these two had a kill count so there's that.

[@FrogbridgeEntertainment]

Once he broke the code the show was over. The code was the entire reason you could root for Dexter. Without it, he was just another murderer.

[@pmr-dp8pf]

I think you missed the point... 😂

[@Docta_Tma]

I think Dexter was an fascinating character to get to hear his inner monologuing about why he does what he did. I agree the code aspect definitely made him more easy to "Defend or root for" but the show definitely didn't become bad just cause that one element of his character was abandoned for a while. He grew and changed as his double life began to effect the other.

[@dMpPgss77]

No Liddy?

[@RealMikeMiller13]

Nothing is worse than him breaking the code to kill Logan in New Blood… completely ruined the spinoff for me

[@ethanhart129]

Eh, it made sense to me. Dexter was willing to kill both LaGuerta and Doakes

[@TheMikster95]

It actually is a good thing he killed Logan because he finally broke the code at the series finale. The problem was that Logan isn’t an important character so it was wasted. Dexter doenst change and that’s a bad thing.

[@curlbeats1670]

And he was panicking for no real reason. All Angela had on him was some needle marks and Ketamine (which he didnt even use in Miami). Also his story for Matt Caldwell's death and him being set up by Kurt made a lot of sense considering he knew about his secret basement.

[@CabezasDePescado]

The needle marks were also a retcon

[@comicsans6487]

he didn't mean to kill him Logan started reaching for his gun.

Why does everyone forget about when dexter killed liddy that was totally breaking the code and just self preservation. Liddy was just a dirty cop but just doing his job at the end of the day

[@brelove5613]

that's what I said. But dexter had no regards for innocent life when he's about to be caught. yuu could be a 17 year old that watched dexter kill someone and if you going to tell he will kill you. After all Dexter does why is he such a coward about prison.

[@jamesrichards2720]

That first guy did try to stab him, so he defended himself with the weapon used against him. The second guy was already stalking astor multiple times and a confirmed predator. That guy who held him at gunpoint also was justified self defense. The other guy holding others at gunpoint was also justified.

[@vincenzopellicani7611]

Debra is inside the code

[@comicsans6487]

why? Mat was a killer.

[@korgclips868]

Not really but he did bend it pretty far that the lines are a bit blurred, he fits the code of being a Killer (Killing 5 people in boat crash on purpose) he was pretty unhinged & it was most likely only a matter of time before he did something else drastic; where dexter acted outside of the code is him not fully vetting his target & acting to hastily on impulse & emotion. (Whacking him in the head) While the kill isn’t fully up to standard of the code he didn’t fully act against it as Kurt’s son was no where near innocent and his arrogant entitled behaviour was a heavy indicator of how the character operates, it was only a matter of time before he got “drunk” again & get other people hurt intentionally or not, as seen with him brazenly shooting a White buck with no regard to the human in his sights; killing a white buck is one thing but there could’ve been anyone petting the deer & a little misstep would’ve resulted in the shooting and possible death of an innocent. While he may not have completely fit the code, his attitude towards life & prior offences fits him into Garbage accepted by the code, no matter what he did Daddy was always going to bail him out, He thought he was untouchable & intimidated people who didn’t cater to his every desire; He was never going to Learn & eventually he’d just end up getting more innocents killed. If he was fully vetted maybe Dexter could’ve figured out about his titanium rods & if he was calculated and prepped he could’ve had an airtight kill room/no trace & a proper method of Body disposal rather than rushing to the first thing to dispose of the evidence; other than that he acted within the parameters of the code if he only followed it to the letter then perhaps he would’ve been able to stay true to the first rule “Don’t Get Caught”
