  "account": "The series \"Dexter\" is infamous for its high body count, as its protagonist, Michael C. Hall's character, remains constantly surrounded by death. Over the course of its eight-season run on Showtime, Dexter's relationship with murder was never limited to his targets; his closest relationships were also impacted. Season 2, Episode 10 \"There's Something About Harry\" marked the first major on-screen death in the series chronologically, as Dexter's adoptive father, Harry Morgan, was killed by suicide. This revelation led Dexter to believe that Harry had taken his own life due to the unbearable burden of the monster he had become.",
