Dexter (2006–2013)

Dexter is a quiet individual who works as a forensic analyst for the Miami police during the day and pursues and punishes killers at night.

An intelligent series about a vigilante that's a tad different while being much closer to the real moral issue at hand than many popular vigilante shows in which the subject is only superficially or not at all touched. The series is excellently written with a well-chosen "enemy of the season" format, in which a new character (negative or even positive in some cases) becomes the center of attention by antagonism with the main character, while Dexter undeniably gets under our skin, due to the complexity of his personality which is in fact defective but almost innocent in so many ways.
It should be noted that Dexter is accompanied by an extremely skilled team of actors, both season guest stars and permanent, led by a magnificent Jennifer Carpenter (Dexter's sister), who give life to such different and well-written characters.
