10 Best TV Antiheroes Of All Time

10. Dexter Morgan - Dexter

The character of Dexter Morgan - played in the eponymous show by Michael C. Hall and created by author Jeff Lindsay - is one of the most original and intriguing antiheroes ever put to the small screen.

A blood splatter analyst for the Miami Metro Police, Dexter was a serial killer who used his job to target murderers, and took extreme caution to ensure no one learned his secret.

Despite being a textbook sociopath with an unquenchable bloodlust who murdered, manipulated, kidnapped, stalked and lied his way through the show's eight-season run, Dexter always managed to come across as endearing and even heroic.

Due in equal measure to the fact that he always faced-off against criminals even worse than himself, the darkly humorous tone the series took with his inability to fit in with society, and Hall's magnetic and creepily charming performance, Dexter was a tough guy to hate, even when he took things too far and broke the rules of his own strict code.
