Dexter: Resurrection

I knew it was going to have the best comeback ever.. i have goosebumps, this is my childhood show, my first tv show ever, it's in my blood.. it's so good. I can't say too much even if i feel so much, i feel alive again.. i don't know it's hard to explain in words, you just feel it in your bones, that old emotion, the fire in the soul, the need, it's like you just reunited with your best friend after a long time of not seeing with each other. I'm already used to the writing, the creators of the show are just pure geniuses.. they never disappointed, this show is the best show on television, i love it, we are back, TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT!

With only 2 episodes in - I am very happy that this level of writing is back. Great pacing, monologues, characters from the original Dexter. Thank you, creators!

Already hooked. Makes me want to go back and rewatch the original again. I don't want to give any spoilers, but if you liked the original, you'll like this one. Multiple story lines, great development, soundtrack has been great so far. Another smart detective, another serial killer, a new city, and a new set of missions for Dexter (no more Jim).

Maybe I didnt have high hopes after the last season - but so far I'm definitely hooked again.

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.

When I say dexters back I mean back like we wished they would do. Obviously you know he is back but I mean in all of its glory and more. I have never been so happy for a reboot while so happy about the results of it. There's no way you reading this and don't already know and came here to give it's approval. From the biggest fan boy to the biggest thanks to the team and of course Michael c. Hall. I hope they never play a stupid stunt with his character again. He should be doing this for Another 7-9 seasons. Can't wait to start rewatching this season like I did all my other favorite seasons. The dokes season/ Bay harbor butcher (less the gross debs and old guy thing that makes my skin crawl to this day. Slimy spit filled kisses *barf face). The Lumen season 5.. so on. I can Invision myself now being able to enjoy new blood knowing they were not trying to replace Dexter with a rebellious piss and vinegar hot topic tween dexter wannabee. What a silly mistake those writers had in doing that before Dexter (Michael) and the fans injected the producers with reality and some smelling salts.

I hate waiting for Thursday's midnight to watch Friday's release of new episodes. Let's keep are fingers crossed they do over 12 episodes for this season. Or go even full savage mode and give us summer and winter season releases of seasons like game of thrones did randomly.

I hope producers read our approval of their work. They should consider even doing a side story and a different intersecting show like a multiverse where the come to get her with Lumen who dexter trained and is alive and ready to be written into her own vigilante serial killer show following Dexters Code because once she got the taste for blood she couldn't stay away in the mundane marriage life she went back to. The name of the show could be the blood is calling or something. Convos and winks of Dexter doing work as she trys to one day catch up to him. It could spawn a whole never ending legacy. Crime junkies everywhere who watch serial killer documentaries and know of the not so known or famous female serial killers in history. Would just be a fresh spin where we see the types of killers she stalks the rough they eyes of a female. The writers/ producers of this show could really open up a new world of TV serie creation not yet done.

Guess we'll have to stay tuned.

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.
