Backseat Driver

Once again, as with the first two episodes, I'm struck by how much the fun and the funny are back. Perhaps because they were so lacking in the dreadful 'New Blood.' Even Michael C. Hall seems to be having a much better time-I know Dexter is!

So far, so good, no extremely annoying Deb (Jennifer Carpenter). Instead, we get a lot of screen time from the very enjoyable Harry (James Remar). Even Jack Alcott (Harrison), whom I could not stand in 'New Blood,' is born-again watchable. Newcomer Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine (Blessing Kamara) is a delight. The only clunker is Kadia Sarah (Det. Claudette Wallace). The character is something out of a Russian spy movie and would never, ever be a NYC detective. Unfortunately, the actress is as annoying as the character.

Then, when it couldn't get any better, we take a trip back to Miami and meet up with Angel (David Zayas), Quinn (Desmond Harrington) and Masuka (C. S. Lee).

Episode 3 of dexter resurrection keeps the tension rising as Dexter juggles his new life and old instincts. His cover starts to crack as the searches. Harrison is growing and adds emotional weight considering hes the goats son. Meanwhile the creepy subplot with the masked man and his victim makes the suspense rise even more The pacing is tight the writing is decent, and the ending leaves you uneasy in the best way. Its not just nostalgia the shows building its own fire and bringing back that CLASSIC COMEDY we love with the also dark stuff... In my opinion this was the best episode so far. Its dark, emotional, and nervewracking in all the right ways. Oh and i heard this got confirmed for 3 seasons I really hope they dont mess it up i mean so far Im really optimistic but 3 seasons seems a bit insane.

The show has been off to an amazing start. It feels like watching the old Dexter again. New blood made him look sloppy, stupid, make a lot of mistakes and completely go against the Dexter we knew. Resurrection is putting things back to how they should be. Smart characters making smart decisions. Characters making mistakes and doing things that make no sense is just a lazy way for writers to get themself out of a box. This show goes back to what made Dexter an amazing show. Cold, calculated and smart. The reunion of the legacy characters was also great and sets up what will be inevitable later on in the season. Just an excellent episode and excellent start to the show so far.

A brilliant and well-rounded episode that sets the tone for the entire season. Dexter's character is truly back-sharp, witty, and with a surprisingly great sense of humor. Unlike last season, which didn't quite impress me, this episode stands out as not just another strong entry, but the best episode of the season so far. In my humble opinion, it even surpasses any episode from the entire previous season.

I Hope They Keep This Level of Quality

So far, the season is off to a fantastic start, and if it keeps up this momentum, it could easily become one of the top five seasons in the entire series-and I'm not exaggerating! Everything is falling into place perfectly so far.

I tried the last two versions, not for me. New Blood probably should be watched if you're going to watch this one, but it's not really necessary. Dex has a kid, he follows him, the kid shot him, he didn't die. That's about all anyone need know from New Blood. It was tough to watch. Not true Dexter in the way fans of the original enjoyed him. Original Sin didn't work for me either. Rehashing characters as younger versions after they did most of it in flashbacks on the Original felt like a waste. BUT This??? This is a revival for the ages. Imagine GOT after Jon Snow came back, but the show got better. So far, so great. The build up is phenomenal. And the return characters??? I actually screamed when I saw who's coming back. The last time I had this high of anticipation of waiting till next week for a show to come on was the Original. Keep up the good work. See you Sunday!!!
