    The voices of Radio 4 continuity and newsreading have been keeping me right
    for as long as I can remember. I can call on a million different information sources, but it doesn't make sense unti I've heard it from Peter, Harriet, Charlotte and the rest.- Eddie Mair in Radio Times 10-16 November 2012

    Perhaps this:

    or more likely this:
    <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dexter:_New_Blood>

    The earlier series were broadcast in the UK on Freeview, although I
    can't remember which channel. Because it had consistently high viewer
    numbers it was bought by a subscription channel (probably Sky) and the remaining series was not shown on Freeview.

    The first season - maybe the first two - ITV1.

    It's currently on Paramount +, which is bundled with Sky Cinema or can

    I've been watching it on Netflix but I didn't stop to think about
    whether Netflix is television in the strictest sense.

    I watched that episode a couple of days ago, I was rather shocked.

    Dexter is very unnerving in that I find myself siding with a serial
    killer against someone who is merely narcissistic and manipulating.

    Paramount+ is the same sort of thing as Netflix or Amazon Prime, except
    for the fact that it is downloaded (and therefore perfectly buffered)
    when accessed via Sky+HD. I think you can also do that with Netflix vis
    Sky Q (but not Sky+HD).

    Many years ago but I don't remember it well enough to see the

    subscription channel (probably Sky) and the remaining series was not

    I've been watching it on Netflix but I didn't stop to think about
    whether Netflix is television in the strictest sense.

    The broadcast history of "Dexter" in the UK was more complex than a
    straight transfer from ITV1 to Sky.

    It went like this:

    Season 1 - ITV1 - 12 episodes January-May 2008
    Season 2 - FX channel - 12 episodes July-September 2008
    Season 3 - FX channel - 12 episodes April-July 2009
    Season 4 - FX channel - 12 episodes August-October 2010
    Season 5 - FX channel - 12 episodes June-September 2011
    Season 6 - FX channel - 12 episodes April-June 2012
    Season 7 - Fox channel - 12 episodes February-May 2013
    Season 8 - Fox channel - 12 episodes July-September 2013

    [Season 8 was the final season of the original series.]

    "Dexter - New Blood" (effectively Season 9):

    Season 9 - Sky Atlantic - 10 episodes November 2021 - January 2022.

    It too unnervingly wrong-footed you as to whom you supported. In effect,
    you see the murder of the "wrong" boy as the central tragedy and are
    tempted to overlook the murder of the other boy since you knew all along
    that it was coming.

    There is no wife in "Dexter - New Bloods", AFAICR.
