There’s no shortage of fans of Showtime’s Dexter series, mainly because it was a brilliant piece of television with a very intriguing and charismatic leading character played perfectly by Michael C. Hall. The original series ended its run after its eighth season in 2013 with a finale that was widely by fans and critics, and that was the reason that the series came back for a single season in 2021 titled Dexter: New Blood but its finale also divided fans. So, if you also miss the series here are some more shows you should watch next.

Few people can say their comfort zone is in playing strong women, but for Gillian Anderson, it ’s become something of a personal brand.
The American-British actor, who was once best-known for her skeptical FBI agent Dana Scully in Fox’s long-running sci-fi hit “The X-Files,” has gone on to play detective Stella Gibson in “The Fall,” notorious British prime minister Margaret Thatcher in “The Crown” and sex therapist Jean Milburn in “Sex Education.” (And you wouldn’t want to cross any of them.)
Anderson — who will receive the Variety Icon Award in a ceremony at CannesSeries on April 1 — will next be seen portraying the rarely dramatized Eleanor Roosevelt, opposite Viola Davis’ Michelle Obama and Michelle Pfeiffer’s Betty Ford, in Showtime’s drama “The First Lady.”
But portraying no-nonsense women didn’t begin as a conscious choice for Anderson. In 1993, she recognized a “stark difference” between the Dana Scully...

In most cases, an actor being cast as a character without a name doesn’t signal great things for the career. Nobody’s queuing up for an autograph from ‘woman in lift’ or ‘angry hot dog customer 2’. Jamie Dornan’s lead role in BBC crime thriller The Tourist bucks that trend. In the six-part series, Dornan plays “The Man”, a nameless (at least to begin with) Irishman who loses his memory when his car is forced off the road in the Australian desert. With barely a clue to go on, he has to find out who he is, what’s he doing there, and most importantly, why somebody’s trying to kill him.
Dornan is great in The Tourist – intense, funny, unpredictable and convincing at every stage of his character’s gradual discovery. It’s comfortably among his best performances so far, and one of the better received projects Dornan’s starred in.

No one expected a series titled “The Fall” to end happily.
[Spoilers for Season 3, including the finale, below.]
Starting with a brutal interrogation room confrontation where an unrestrained Paul Spector (Jamie Dornan) brutally beats Detective Superintendent Stella Gibson (Gillian Anderson) and ending with a similarly blunt beating given to Dr. Larson (Krister Henriksson), the Season 3 finale squeezed in enough violent outbursts to fill a season. And that near-complete time frame doesn’t even include the morbid kicker: After strangling his fellow inmate, Paul used the same belt to asphyxiate himself. He died from it, too, just like his first victim, and similar to his mother.
Now, supporters with a deep appreciation for the complex psychology of the series will point to Paul’s death as a positive. Not only did he die in a similar fashion to his first victim (or at least the first victim Stella knows about, poor party girl Susan Harper, who thought she...

It’s been two years since audiences last saw Gillian Anderson as the driven and obsessive Stella Gibson, the detective superintendent who’s been after serial killer Paul Spector (played by Jamie Dornan) in BBC Two’s drama “The Fall.” A new teaser trailer for the third installment has just been released and shows Gibson being haunted by the murderer who was last shot at the end of Season 2.
“You’re under arrest, you’re going to prison,” we hear Anderson’s voice say as she’s seen swimming, recalling the words that she last spoke to Spector and what he told her.
“I live at a level of intensity unknown to you and others of your type,” we hear him say. “You will never know the almost God-like power that I feel when that last bit of breath leaves a body. That feeling of complete possession.”

1. “BoJack Horseman” Season 3 (available July 22)
Why Should I Watch It? “BoJack Horseman” is a literal and figurative treasure trove of joy, insight and harsh truths. On the literal side, so many small moments pop up throughout the 30-minute episodes it takes repeat viewings to appreciate them all — from the .gif-worthy transitionary bits to the heavy-hitting quips. Yet figuratively, “BoJack” offers up a distinct, strong viewpoint that isn’t afraid to take questions to an existential level, which creates deeper subjective realizations each time you watch (and re-watch, and re-watch, and re-watch…). This is as “must-see” as TV gets — every time.
Best Episode: We wouldn’t dare spoil the new season — not even by telling you what episode to look forward to — and we’ve already covered Season 2. (After much deliberation, we chose “Escape From L.A.” as the best episode.) So let’s just set this time aside to honor the...

When The X-Files ended its first run in 2002, Gillian Anderson was over it. "I needed to dig a deep ditch for anything X-Files-related to go into," she says with a big laugh. "It took a while before I could talk about the show with a sense of appreciation and wistfulness."
She was 33 at the time of the original series finale and had spent the majority of her adult life playing FBI Special Agent Dr. Dana Scully, the impassive, skeptical voice of reason in the fantastical world of her onscreen foil,...

Apparently kissing Gillian Anderson can change your life. At least that's what The Good Wife's Archie Panjabi said. Panjabi, who costars opposite Anderson in the BBC/Netflix series The Fall, said her decision to leave CBS's The Good Wife came after a scene in The Fall. Warning, spoilers ahead. In the third episode of The Fall's second season, Anderson's Stella Gibson kisses Panjabi's Dr. Reed Smith in a bar, seemingly to get a man to stop bothering them. But the next scene is the two of them making their way to Gibson's hotel room until Panjabi's character bails and leaves at the elevator. "When I was kissing her, Allan Cubitt, the show's creator and director, had to...

"The Fall" became somewhat of a sensation after its first season, in part due to two key factors. The first was its availability on Netflix, a streaming service whose own popularity and ease of use seems to draw in new viewers no matter the content. Luckily, the content within creator Allan Cubitt's serialized thriller was top notch, almost on par with Gillian Anderson herself, who happens to be the second reason for the series' success. Anderson's performance as Detective Superintendent Stella Gibson is second to none, especially given the time and space provided to her in the slowly unraveling season. Anderson owns each extra moment with absolute authority, helping color the self-assured Gibson as someone who finds confidence in her intellect without rubbing it in everyone's collective face (unless provoked). Refreshingly, she's not inversely awful with love — as so many female characters are — instead translating her intellectual approach to every aspect of her life.

In the austere offices of the Police Service of Northern Ireland, Detective Superintendent Stella Gibson (Gillian Anderson) pitches her voice as though confiding a secret. The camera holds, intermittently, on her dispassionate expression, but it's the steadiness of the sound that compels your attention. As Gibson explains the modus operandi of a serial killer midway through the season premiere of "The Fall," Anderson's calm, controlled performance comes to reflect the hypnotic force of the series, patiently reconstructing the murder mystery as an ink-black portrait of the human psyche's most terrifying recesses. (Spoilers for season one ahead.) Created, written, and directed by Allan Cubitt, the second season resumes the Psni's search for "the Belfast Strangler" ten days after the botched attack that concluded the first. The narrative hews to an almost claustrophobic timeline (the six episodes cover perhaps a week in the investigation), and for the most part...

"We're in a situation where I'm very confident there will be a third season. But because of internal BBC situation at the moment, it hasn't been officially announced," Cubitt told reporters. "I think the story can continue, but I'll have to reserve judgment on that, I think, until I get the green light and the go�-ahead."

Last year's The Fall was a superbly taut thriller starring Gillian Anderson as Stella Gibson, a Metropolitan police detective with a penchant for cream silk blouses who was sent to Belfast to investigate the brutal murder of a young woman.
While Gibson theorised the woman was the latest victim of a serial killer, we got to meet the man himself – a good-looking husband and father named Paul Spector (Jamie Dornan) who worked as a bereavement counsellor by day, then donned a hoodie by night so he could lurk about stalking his prey.
While 18 months have passed since the first series was broadcast – during which time Dornan has gone from 'who's he?' to 'Christian in the Fifty Shades Of Grey movie' – series two picks up just 10 days after the end of the first.

"I like playing characters who are fractured, broken," says Jamie Dornan. "I find that more relatable, for some reason. I don't feel that I'm like that myself by nature, but there's just something that you can really grab hold of if people have a darkness in them, I think."
Dornan is speaking to Digital Spy and other members of the press on the set of The Fall in Belfast, having reprised his role as Paul Spector - a terrifying-yet-mesmerising character who has more than a little darkness in him.
Series two is set to delve deeper into Spector's dark desire. "You might find out more about him and his reasons for being the way he is," Dornan teases. "I think we set the precedent for that in the first series - it was always a 'whydunnit' - but that's probably explored slightly more in the second series."

BBC Two's The Fall was always intended to last for longer than a single series, its cast and creator have insisted.
Some viewers were left disappointed when the crime thriller's initial five-part run ended on a cliffhanger, with serial killer Paul Spector (Jamie Dornan) escaping justice.
"These [sorts of] cases are complex and take an enormous amount of time to solve, so I always thought it would be well-served by running on," The Fall creator Allan Cubitt explained at a BAFTA screening for the second series last night (September 23).
Gillian Anderson, who plays protagonist Stella Gibson, added: "It was always my understanding that what I was signing up to went beyond the five [episodes]."
Dornan described the upcoming six-part second series - which has been both written and directed by Cubitt - as "remarkable".
"I didn't feel that you could move that far forward from what we did in the first series,...

The Fall creator Allan Cubitt has dismissed accusations that the BBC Two drama is misogynistic.
Speaking at a BAFTA screening for the upcoming second series, Cubitt told an audience last night (September 23) that he would "like to think" of the crime thriller as a feminist piece.
"Obviously there were people who thought [it was] the diametric opposite of that," he acknowledged. "But there were plenty of people who did understand what I was trying to achieve - it is a dissection of a certain kind of male view… an exploration of misogyny.
"I think anything that sets out to explore a complex and difficult subject like that always runs the risk of being held up as an example of it, rather than a critique of it."
He continued: "If you think that The Fall is misogynistic... then I would've failed abjectly, completely. My feeling is that people who think about it probably...

That’s it. I quit. No more.
For weeks, I’ve stuck it out with The Leftovers, which many critics (including me) have described as one of the bleakest, most brutal, most depressing dramas on television. But it wasn’t until Sunday’s episode, “Gladys,” that I decided I’d had enough. I refuse to watch another minute of this show.
It wasn’t just that a woman (the Gladys of the title, played by Marceline Hugot) got stoned to death in the episode. I’ve seen worse on my all-time favorite show, Breaking Bad. What I objected to wasn’t the violence.

So, you like to watch a handsome, shirtless Jamie Dornan do the whole torture thing? Well, then, we’ve got the perfect drama for you—and it’s not Fifty Shades of Grey.
If you want to see Dornan gag women, tie them up, bathe them by candlelight, and cause them grievous bodily harm, you’re better off watching the first season of the BBC’s gripping thriller The Fall. (Catch up on Netflix before season two airs. The trailer premiered yesterday, just in time for 50 Shades madness.) The Fall is a suspenseful and scary thriller, and, unlike Fifty Shades,...
