Why It Should: Though the series finale may have left a bitter taste in many people's mouths, it can't be discounted how popular the show was over its run. Dexter himself is a great character, and one whose perpetual battle with his inner urges is perfectly suited to Telltale's choice system.

Showtime itself is still open to continuing the series down the line, but Telltale has some leeway in what it could do. On one hand, a story could easily be slotted somewhere between seasons of the series itself, allowing well-known supporting characters to make appearances. On the other, Telltale could chart new territory by picking up where the series left off to see if they can spin the maligned lumberjack ending into a compelling new chapter of the serial killer's life, one in which he wrestles with whether or not to continue back down the very path that led him to exile.

Alternate Showtime Series Choice: It may have originally been a CBS series back in its original run, but Twin Peaks' upcoming revival on Showtime would give Telltale some great storytelling potential in David Lynch's weird, sublime world of soap opera flourishes, supernatural murderers and damn fine cups of coffee.
