After the first few episodes I rated Severance a 6 on acting excellence. I've since watched every episode because even a 6 is worth watching and brings me back. But I never felt the chemistry between the characters, so I really don't care what happens to them, and that's the writing failure. And the story is pretty weak so I've not felt really drawn to the big mystery of what they were doing or why. Yes, there are lots of visual tidbits I've learned watching YouTube that help the understanding of the story, but that's just mostly fun stuff for the dedicated fans. I'll keep watching, but if it ended now I wouldn't miss it. Nice concept falls short.

It wouldn't be Dexter without the same characters we all began to miss at the end of the series, but they are back ... just younger. Even music and narrative voice over is the same from Michael C Hall. It feels like home.

With this fresh young cast, plus Harry Morgan played by Christian Slater, it will be fun to watch the series progress in a new and different environment. Atter one episode I stopped short of giving it higher than a 7, but if the writing continues to be top notch we will be in store for a fun ride. Dexter: New Blood just couldn't provide the same without the original characters of Debra Morgan and Vince Masuka. I wonder who else will come along?

And with the addition of Sarah Michelle Gellar I anticipate the show will build and add new and old aspects while these actors provide great performances. Looking forward to this series weekly in the next ten episodes!
