A Beating Heart...

The premiere episode of Dexter: Resurrection delivers a convincing explanation for Dexter's survival, grounding the story in a plausible medical scenario. The emotional core, focusing on Dexter's concern for his son Harrison, is compelling, though Harrison's psychological depth remains underexplored.

The pacing suffers slightly from Dexter's rapid recovery, which feels rushed. The New York setting and the police investigation add fresh tension and complexity, while the return of familiar characters enriches the narrative.

Visually, the episode maintains a dark, stylish tone consistent with the original series. Overall, it's a promising start that sets up intriguing conflicts, though further character development-especially of Harrison-is needed to fully engage the audience.

10/10 fireeeeee 🔥🔥🔥.. he's back. Episode 1 of Dexter: New Blood (Resurrection) is a brilliant return to form. It masterfully revives the chilling charm of Dexter Morgan while introducing a fresh, snowy setting that contrasts perfectly with his dark past. The pacing is tight, the writing sharp, and Michael C. Hall slips back into his role like he never left. There's a satisfying tension between his new peaceful life and the lurking urge to kill again. The cinematography is beautiful and haunting, and the reappearance of old habits keeps viewers hooked. It's a gripping, emotional, and suspenseful start that promises a powerful season ahead.

YEP WE BACK. Im so ready for this. This has been a long journey season 1-4 absolute cinema 5 and 6 eh 7 good but then heres the problem, 8 was garbage, new blood was good but ofc a rushed ending. Thankfully the writers improved and with original sin actually ending a season off with beauty and good writing made me so excited for resurrection and IM SO GLAD IT WAS WORTH CUZ THIS FIRST EP WAS AMAZING THE NOSTALGIA THE MUSIC THE NYC VIBE. It was great to see Batista again but oh what couldve been new blood..It wouldve been great without rushing it and actually concluding dexter correctly. Anyway i guess i shouldnt hate because if we didnt have those two horrible endings we never wouldve gotten original sin and now RESURRECTION so lets look forward to next week cause i know this is gonna be peak.

The pilot of Resurrection smartly leaps forward from the underwhelming finale of New Blood. Dexter survives a near-fatal gunshot and emerges from a coma ten weeks later, immediately setting the tone for high stakes: his son Harrison is now in New York, and Miami Metro PD's Angel Batista is resurrected back to the plot with more questions than sighs. Michael C Hall is back with full force. His portrayal of a recovering, determined Dexter feels authentic and deeply tense-struggling between burying and succumbing to his darker urges. The Pilot episode is a gripping and confident restart for the franchise. By reconnecting Dexter with his son, respecting returning characters, and introducing surreal ghost visits from some familiar faces, the episode balances nostalgia with fresh thematic weight.

The first episode ended up being better than I expected. Loved the long anticipated reunion between Dexter & Batista and how it was handled. The hallucinations didn't feel forced & it was nice to see a brief callback to some old characters in them. At the end of New Blood, I wasn't a fan of Harrison like most people. But in this show, I see some potential for a good story involving him & Dexter. We get introduced to some of the new characters as well. I'm not sure how to feel about them right now but time will tell as more episodes release. NYC feels like a great place to tell more Dexter stories so I'm looking forward to seeing where this story will take us!
