American actress Jennifer Carpenter, best known for playing Debra Morgan on the hit Showtime drama series “Dexter,” for which she won a Saturn Award in 2009, joined Carrie Keagan at VH1’s Big Morning Buzz Live to talk about why this season of “Dexter” is her favorite.
Debuting on Showtime in 2006, “Dexter” is an American television drama series centering on Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall), a blood spatter pattern analyst for the fictional Miami Metro Police Department (based on the real life Miami-Dade Police Department) who moonlights as a serial killer. Set in Miami, the show’s first season was largely based on the novel Darkly Dreaming Dexter by Jeff Lindsay, the first of his Dexter series novels. Subsequent seasons have evolved independently of Lindsay’s works. It was adapted for television by screenwriter James Manos, Jr., who wrote the first episode.
