3 d. ago ‘I’m a healthier person for playing a serial killer’: Michael C Hall on Dexter’s wildly improbable return

Grisly dismemberment! Internet hatred! Uma Thurman! The Emmy-winning 00s show about a murderer is back with a celeb-stuffed spin-off – and its star thinks it might be the first of many series to comeIt seems as if Dexter Morgan just cannot die. Remember the first Dexter finale 12 years ago? It climaxed with Morgan sailing his boat into an unsurvivable storm, a sure sign that our favourite serial-killing blood spatter analyst had finally met his end. But then the show lost its nerve and he somehow ended up in a postscript with a new job (lumberjack) and a new beard (unconvincing).Next came 2021’s Dexter: New Blood, a series that was conceived as a definitive full stop for the character. That run ended with – spoiler alert – Dexter being shot dead by his son Harrison. However, now Morgan finds himself back yet again in Dexter: Resurrection, in which we quickly learn that this apparently fatal injury was merely a flesh wound. Continue reading...

A compulsive new history suggests the crimes of Ted Bundy et al were – at least partly – down to the air they breathedIn 1974, the year Caroline Fraser turned 13, Ted Bundy committed his first confirmed murders. Bundy was handsome, charming, extremely intelligent and sociopathic – “a sexual virus masquerading as a person”. There is persuasive evidence that he began killing much earlier but never this gluttonously. Almost all of his victims had long brown hair, parted in the middle. Sometimes he broke into the women’s houses while they slept, or snatched them off the street. Sometimes he would put on a sling or plaster cast and lure them into his car to help with some fabricated task. If one refused, he tried another, convinced that he would never be caught because they would never be missed. “I mean, there are so many people,” he reasoned. “It shouldn’t be a problem.” Fraser lived on Mercer Island, Washington, near Bundy’s first hunting grounds. Recalling the moment he was first cha...
