Dr Cooks Garden is the Dexter Morgan of the Era
“Dr. Cook’s Garden” is a television film that originally aired in 1971, starring Bing Crosby. It’s a psychological thriller based on the play of the same name by Ira Levin. The story revolves around a small-town doctor who grows dangerous plants in his garden, and the suspicions that arise about his activities. Bing Crosby’s performance is often praised for its departure from his usual roles, showcasing his versatility as an actor. The film’s themes of morality, obsession, and deception make it an intriguing watch for fans of suspenseful dramas.
Yes in Dr. Cooks Garden takes on the issues in a small town Vermont and it takes on an issue that Jeff Lindsay would later consider when he wrote Dexter Morgan. In this movie Bing Crosby character is a vigilante serial killer in the form of Dr. Cook a small town doctor who removes people he claims to be misfits in the small town by comparing it to a garden. The weeds are the misfits and the good citizens live a long life. However, once (Frank Converse character) Dr. Tennyson comes in and audits the medical records he is confronted with issue on why certain patients were poisoned. Then we get to the root cause of how Dr. Cook became a Dexter Morgan type person in a small town. Dr Cook claimed that he saved Dr. Tennyson from child abuse as the claim goes on how Dr. Cook became a vigilante serial killer. Then once the confrontations continues then Dr Cook faces Karma for his actions near the end of the movie as he gets called out for unethical conduct. This movie is for Dexter Morgan fans who are curious where Jeff Lindsay gets his inspiration for Dexter Morgan from. Whenever we talk about Dexter Morgan we tend to cite real stories as speculation from Manuel Pardo, Pedro Rodrigues Filho,Edgar Matobato, Arturo Lascanas, Rodrigo Duterte, Florisvaldo De Oliveira, and other real vigilantes as references that created Dexter Morgan. This is a case where we also have to cite other fictional characters like Dr. Cook as references that Jeff Lindsay used to create Dexter Morgan. I recommend every Dexter Morgan fan to watch Dr Cook’s garden to look for similarities and differences of each other even though the timeline is three decades apart.
