Dexter: Résurrection

After the much-maligned finale of the original Dexter series, expectations were understandably cautious. But Dexter: New Blood doesn't just bring back our favorite antihero-it reanimates the soul of the show with emotional depth, chilling suspense, and a finale that finally delivers closure.

Set in the snow-blanketed small town of Iron Lake, New York, the series trades Miami's humidity for a cold, atmospheric backdrop that mirrors Dexter's inner struggle. Michael C. Hall returns as the titular character with a performance that is as sharp as ever-older, more haunted, but still eerily charming. His portrayal captures a man who has spent years trying to suppress his "Dark Passenger," only to find that it never truly leaves.

The arrival of Harrison, Dexter's teenage son, injects a powerful emotional thread into the story. Jack Alcott delivers a breakout performance as a boy who is both seeking answers and battling his own demons. Their evolving father-son dynamic becomes the moral and emotional core of the season, posing the haunting question: Is darkness inherited-or created?

Clancy Brown's portrayal of Kurt Caldwell, the new villain, is chilling and grounded. He's a perfect foil for Dexter-calculated, charismatic, and terrifyingly real.

What makes New Blood exceptional is its self-awareness. It doesn't try to erase the past; it confronts it. The writing is tighter, the pacing more deliberate, and the stakes-both emotional and physical-feel real. Every kill has weight. Every choice Dexter makes leads us closer to a powerful, tragic, but earned conclusion.

The final episode sticks the landing, giving Dexter a fate that feels both inevitable and poetic. It's not just fan service-it's accountability, character development, and catharsis.

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.

All of the reviews below come from people who have been paid to write rubbish, alternatively, it's people from the production trying to raise this rubbish to the skies.

This comedy series is not even worth a single small star, throughout, it is comedy at the highest level, so laughably bad that the only thing one can do is laugh at how sleazy and bad it actually is.

Dexter's son is now in the driver's seat, and has become the star of this series. Dexter is the father who worries about his sick son, and is in the background away from the limelight.

The acting is consistently so bad, the plot and tone is just comedy.

If anyone out there wants to have a good laugh, by all means, watch this show. But this series is definitely not worth a star.

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!
