Camera Shy

Watching this feels a lot like watching the original Dexter, but now it's set in New York City instead of Miami. The atmosphere, the narration, and the main character's inner conflict all feel very familiar - it's almost like they just changed the location but kept the same blueprint. That's not necessarily a bad thing, though, because it brings back a sense of nostalgia for fans of the original series. It's interesting to see how the New York setting adds a slightly different vibe, with its crowded streets and darker corners, which makes some scenes feel fresh even if the overall formula stays the same. The writing and pacing were tight, and the lead actor does a good job capturing that same eerie charm. Overall, I thought it was a really solid episode that makes me curious to see where the season goes from here.

I like the new direction we're going in, we start the episode off with an already sketchy uber ride. To no surprise the man turns out to be a serial killer. Dexter in NYC and checks in on his sons "kill room" fixes his mistakes cause the police are zeroing in. Then later when dexter is in a uber ride he learns about the murderer and we can already tell its going to be kill time in an ep or two. Charley is a new character were introduced to, well fully introduced since last episode and already she is full of surprises... Im guessing shes tied to this group or whatever that we saw in the trailer. Well look forward to next week, staying up this late I should catch some sleep.

Back to stalking, preparing a kill room, the art of being a serial killer. I'm so happy that they didn't stray too far from the original formula and that we're in a cold, unfriendly New York City that contrasts very well with the sunny, aggressive Miami we saw in the original series.

Dexter's plot seems to be refreshing, Harrison won't be getting into a boring high school plot again and I'm looking forward to seeing Batista in action more often.

If the pacing continues like this, the season could be very good. I'm really enjoying the way they're working with the characters, it seems like a good new start and I hope it's the last one this time.

Three years after New Blood, it feels good to be back. The writers have skillfully tied things up after the seemingly hopeless end of S1E10 of New Blood. The first two episodes of Resurrection set the stage for a bright and promising return. The writing is sharp and intriguing-almost amusing-as it keeps the plot tight while launching us into a new chapter of this compelling universe. The showrunners of this universe also continue to experiment with new ways of filming, editing, and cinematography in general, which is something I appreciate dearly. Overall, great stuff so far, and I expect more of the same.

Have some patience folks, we're only getting started.

Oh Scott Buck. How I have such a love/hate relationship with your work on Dexter.

As a writer, he penned some of the best, classic episodes of the OG series. And then, he became showrunner. I enjoyed season 6 more than most, but it still was a drop in quality compared to the first seasons. Then season 7 had a mix of strong and weak moments. And we don't talk about 8.

For the first time since season 8, he has written another episode, and it delivered!!

It felt like classic Dexter in all the best ways possible! Even the new characters are awesome! I'm so intrigued by almost every plot thread. Even little details like Harrison speaking Spanish help make the characters feel well thought out. A fantastic first two episodes of this season!
