We\\\'re expected to root for Dexter to succeed even though he\\\'s a serial killer. In effect we excuse his serial killing. The critic would have no such complaint for a real villain protagonist, like Richard III, who commits murder and is treated as an evil villain for it.

So I\\\'m not sure if I should make this edit.
