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.

This episode felt like it was something out of the original dexter series. The cameos were absolutely surprising and fantastic! Seeing the characters after the ending to new blood felt amazing. Some emotional parts which added to how great the episode was. There was absolutely nothing wrong with this episode and very well exceeded my expectations and hopefully others. Amazing great episode and after only the first episode i'm already hooked and want to watch more! After watching this episode it can make you feel excited about what's coming up and have thousands of different questions. Can't wait to see what the rest of the series has in store.

Waited so long to be back. The ending to new blood was peak and the first two episodes were really really good and im excited for the next two episodes however this episode was really good and i enjoyed every single second of it the flashbacks the returns of villians everything was perfect i really liked the episode and it was peak cinema. I hope to see a 10.0 episode out of dexter ressurection some day. And im am so excited about whats gonna come after the second episode and how is the series gonna end which i would like to be dexter dying (properly) not like in new blood but in style. Really enjoyed the episode.

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.

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.
