A real breath of fresh air
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.
