How this season is filed

Filed by Rex Fontaine · Golden Age Dispatch

Miami blood-spatter analyst by day, vigilante with a code by night: Michael C. Hall made Showtime's serial-killer POV a global export. Early seasons balance case-of-week and dread; later endings and revivals reopened every argument. Premium-cable antihero comfort food with a body count.
