Dexter: Early Cuts

Dexter: Early Cuts is a Showtime exclusive glimpse into Dexter Morgan (Michael C Hall) from the original series Dexter, based on the Darkly Dreaming Dexter books by Jeff Lindsay, from before we met him on the show. Hall's voice narrates over the animated series, which shows Dexter's early work murdering serial killers to keep Miami safe from harm. The mini webisodes are only a few minutes long, but in a few of them we can follow the history of killers, their motivation and how Dexter discovers them. He then meticulously plans how he will kill them, making sure he won't be caught. His methods and locations of murder are always specific to his victims and the crimes they have committed. Early Cuts shows us Dexter's practice runs, before the drama of the show and familiarizes us with Dexter's own brand of justice before he exercised it on villains like the ice truck killer.
