Other Awards
Dexter has been nominated for awards at various Guild and society ceremonies, winning six. When the American Film Institute (AFI) selected the show as one of the top ten television programs of 2007, the AFI Award jury stated, "The world through Dexter's dark, droll and wickedly funny gaze, in many ways, defines today's era of television – stories that are wildly ambitious, intricately told, and deeply, emotionally engaging."
