00:00As you said, there is an appetite, obviously,

00:01on your guys' end, but also on a fan's end,

00:04because this show has like a newfound, it keeps growing.

00:07I mean, it was on the Nielsen charts,

00:09it topped, it beat out the Bear a couple weeks ago.

00:12Yeah, I know, it's unbelievable.

00:13I think, yeah, it's, I think, available on Netflix now,

00:17and yeah, I'm encountering a whole new round of people

00:21who reveal to me that they just binge-watched the whole show

00:24and had never seen it before,

00:25and that's the way it works now.

00:28With streaming, things can sort of revive

00:30and have a new life for new fans,

00:33and yeah, there's something about this world,

00:35something about this character that captivates people.

00:40I was gonna say, what do you think that is

00:41that now it has this resurgence?

00:45It's hard to say.

00:46I mean, I think there's many different ways

00:51this show appeals to people,

00:52as there are people who watch it,

00:54but I think the maybe abiding thing is in a world

01:01in which we feel a sense of being out of control.

01:07People like spending time with a character

01:09who's taking his own unique control

01:11of his little corner of the world.

01:14I think we all have our shadow side that we contend with,

01:19and Dexter's is obviously a little weightier than most,

01:26but I think people enjoy spending time

01:29with someone who's doing his best

01:33to take responsibility for that side

01:36in his sort of outside-the-box way

01:42and morally gray way, but yeah,

01:47people, I think, relish the invitation

01:54to identify with someone who's contending

01:58with this much darkness and maybe contending with it

02:01in a way that is arguably admirable,

02:07even though he's doing what he's doing.

02:11I just think admirable in a headline

02:13would be a really great way to describe Dexter, for sure.

02:16I think that's it.

02:17Thank you so much for having me.
