Dexter: Resurrección

Oh my god, I absolutely love it-this sequel, Dexter: New Blood, has evolved into such a rich, gripping, and emotionally layered masterpiece. What began as a long-awaited revival turned into something far beyond expectations. The storytelling is more mature, the character development-especially Dexter's complex inner conflict-is deeper, and the darker, more introspective tone gives it a refined edge. It's not just a sequel-it's a resurrection in every sense. They didn't just bring Dexter back-they gave his story new weight, emotional stakes, and a powerful legacy. It's beautiful, haunting, and everything a continuation should be. I'm genuinely blown away.

The show is very great it shows alot about dexter and also gives plot to new characters which I love. I've also seen alot of Dexter's old habits of having a big appetite, seen in dexter new blood. The plot line isn't confusing and actually makes sense and it follows up straight from the go and we got to see alot of characters from the original dexter show which is nostalgic and at the same time amazing to see that they are giving what the fans want. Overall the show is great and imo better then dexter new blood. I really hope to see another season of this masterpiece, even though I think there will be 2 more seasons it's just great to see another amazing show giving what the fans need and at the same time following the plot and story line.

Dexter: Resurrection marks the third revival of the iconic Showtime series, and surprisingly, it's the most satisfying since the Trinity Killer arc. Picking up weeks after New Blood, Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall) awakens from a coma in a New York hospital, having miraculously survived being shot by his son, Harrison. From there, the show dives into familiar territory - but with a fresh setting, sharper writing, and a darker emotional core.

Michael C. Hall is magnetic as ever. This isn't the Dexter of Miami Metro or Iron Lake - he's older, more haunted, and emotionally raw. Hall brings a tempered intensity to the role, balancing sardonic wit with genuine pathos. His internal monologues are back, but they're more reflective, less performative. The show leans into Dexter's weariness, making his return feel earned rather than forced.

The New York setting is a smart move. The city's anonymity and chaos offer Dexter both cover and temptation. He takes up work as a rideshare driver, blending into the urban sprawl while quietly hunting predators. The cinematography captures the grit and pulse of the city, and the soundtrack - featuring moody tracks like Nick Cave's "Red Right Hand" - adds to the show's eerie atmosphere.

The supporting cast is stacked. Peter Dinklage plays Leon Prater, a billionaire with a twisted obsession for serial killers. Uma Thurman is his enigmatic enforcer, Charley - cool, lethal, and captivating. Guest stars like Krysten Ritter, Neil Patrick Harris, Eric Stonestreet, and David Dastmalchian play members of a secret society of killers, each bringing a unique flavor to the chaos. Their scenes are some of the most entertaining and disturbing in the series.

Jack Alcott returns as Harrison, now working as a bellhop in Midtown. His arc is quietly heartbreaking - a young man trying to outrun his father's legacy while slowly succumbing to the same darkness. His scenes are filled with tension and emotional weight, especially as he begins to show signs of inherited trauma and compulsive behavior.

Angel Batista (David Zayas) also returns, adding a nostalgic yet foreboding presence. His pursuit of Dexter adds a layer of suspense that longtime fans will appreciate. The tension between old friends turned adversaries is palpable, and it's clear Batista won't let go easily.

Showrunner Clyde Phillips, who helmed the best seasons of the original series, brings a steady hand to Resurrection. The writing is tighter, the pacing more deliberate. The show doesn't shy away from its past - it embraces it, flaws and all. It's self-aware, occasionally pulpy, and often emotionally resonant.

Yes, there are plot conveniences and moments that stretch believability. But Dexter has always thrived in that space between logic and lunacy. What matters is that the story feels alive again - messy, macabre, and meaningful.

Final Verdict: 10/10 Dexter: Resurrection is a bold, bloody, and brilliantly executed revival. It honors the original while carving out something new. Whether you're a longtime fan or just diving in, this season is a must-watch. Dexter's back - and he's never been sharper.

If you feel the core of why Dexter was so uniquely interesting is Hall's portrayal of Dexter then you should proceed. Certainly the original series had an impeccable supporting cast, but it all was on Dexter as a perfect combination of a one-of-a-kind serial killer driven by an obsessive code.

To once more have that same Dexter is the thing here. Dexter always has had complications. Being part of Miami PD of course helped and threatened. But, he had a bigger complication with sister Deb who he had to protect and separate from his walk with "the dark passenger". When that ended badly and he miraculously survived New Blood thrust him into new territory as he soon realized his son was the apple that didn't fall far from the tree.

We don't want, or expect, normalcy from Dexter. So, once more Dexter has cheated death. During recovery Dexter realizes both his Miami past, courtesy of a visit from Batista, and his son's s life in NYC, hinted at by a familiar dismembered corpse last seen alive where his son is employed demands action. Fleeing to NYC opens up a whole new chapter complete with old and new complications. Michael C. Hall's Dexter character is reloaded facing more of the impossible. This seems totally right because it's just where the character shines. This may just be the worthy continuation New Blood just couldn't reach. I was long ago in for a penny and this just feels like the pound that Dexter is destined to deliver.

I'm so glad the decided to bring Dexter back for Dexter: Resurrection because the way the ended New Blood was just awful. The original Dexter was absolutely, without a doubt, one of the best shows ever created. It's a thrilling, one of a kind TV show that will keep you at the edge of your seat throughout the entire series. Michael C. Hall is perfect as Dexter and the rest of the supporting cast is just as fantastic. Yes, the ending was terrible but like Game of Thrones, Lost (or any other show with a bad final episode), a few bad episodes at the end doesn't spoil what an overall great show it was and that's what Dexter is...a GREAT show! The ending was so bad they brought back Dexter: New Blood to give it a better ending. Problem is the ending to that was even worse. Now, we're back with Dexter: Resurrection and I love it. I can't get enough of Dexter. I've loved having Dexter back on my tv and this show is really good overall. It's definitely worth watching.
