Yes, Dexter had already got a taste of fatherhood, since he is the step-father to Astor and Cody - but those two tykes are no innocents, scarred and marred by their abusive father, and Decxter recognizes in them only mini-mes. We acknowledge (and remind and warn you) that they may, in fact, be entirely unrepresentative of the actual reviews by any other measure.ĭexter is Delicious begins with blood spatter analyst/serial murderer Dexter Morgan becoming a father, as his wife, Rita, gives birth to Lily Anne - and suddenly: 'Everything has changed.'
